The factory day is scheduled for Thursday of the Rally week. That is the day we also have planned to run up to the sand bar with a stop at Caney Creek marina for drink/food specials. It's about a 20+ mile long run. Skewby and Roger will lead everyone and I'm guessing will leave around 11:00-11:30.

If there is interest to go to the factory we would have to leave no later than 8:00AM to get there around 9:15 hang out for a bit, check out any finished boats or ones in the building process, visit the gift shop and shoot the bull.

If we are there for approx 2 hours it will get us back at Terrace View close to 1:00PM, give or take. At this point I'm not sure if the rest of the gang will still be at Caney Creek or up at the sand bar. Sooo, I'm guessing that we could have Skewby and a few others grab food for those going to the factory so that those returning can hop in their boats and head north to the sand bar.

We'll figure out who will take those wishing to see the factory then escort to the sand bar

those wishing to visit the factory please sign in here:

I'd like to go to the factory , been there a few times but didn't get to see much.
I'm really not liking the thought of having to stay at the other motel location , by looking at a lake map it appears to be a few miles or more to where most of you guys are staying and I'm afraid it's gonna be a PITA.

Tim, a 2 bedroom unit opened up over at the Terrace View. Have you seen that? lakeside, where you are staying as of now, is right across the lake from Terrace. Not far but I understand your feeling that way.

Ya I called about 2 bedroom. I hate to throw away cash on a unused extra bed room. How many miles across the lake are the locations apart? Looks to be atleast 4-5 miles??
We'll be getting in around 10pm wed night

Tim, I'm going by memory of course, because we traveled all over Watts BAr that week and at times I was confused as to where we were and where we were going but I think it's only a couple minute ride straight across the lake from Terrace in the back of a cove.

I do remember being told by Roger about a huge bay to the right going in filled with stumps so don't run back there.......I have not been able to stop thinking about that.......for fishing of course!!!!!!!!!!!

I may have to venture on over there to meet up with ya and we can check out the stump field!!!!!!!!!!

When you get up Thursday AM give me a call!!

I used the distance feature on google earth and it looks like it is about two and a half miles across the water between the two places. Went back and used the path feature and it is about three and a half miles. There is a point of land to go around.

I am going to go to the factory. It's always fun to visit Darris, Nancy, Bill, and Todd. I suppose I'll head over from my side of the lake and I'll be back well before everyone else reaches the Rockwood side. I'll drive out and lead to the sand bar for the meet up. Ben Biller 423-322-1060

For real! This could get fun in a hurry! Just remember it's all fun night games til somebody blows a powerhead. Then it's an epic event!

Yeah... we should probably go ahead and give someone our bail money to hold onto!
