11/16 - 11/18 - Cumberland River Fall Gathering & Cruise

[Byrdman]

Boating the Cumberland for a pre-gathering cruise from Tuesday 6Nov down river from Mom's 60 miles to the Nashville City Dock. Wednesday 7Nov down river from Nashville 60 miles to Clarksville City Dock. Down river from Clarksville 60 miles to Lake Barkley State Park & Marina in Cadiz, KY....and hit the big ol buffett up in the State Park's Lodge overlooking the waters. The trees are getting pretty and the weather great!

Then, the gathering 16-22Nov07....basically a reverse of this route and on up to the tight upper waters past Mom's...OR...if just one or two boats end up making this fall gathering and Thanksgiving dinner @ "Momma Byrds'"... we may just sit at the docks, in Cadiz, KY, take out the Qumby's Guide.... and chart other waters from the Heartland Area for a weekish. We are basically right at the intersections of the Cumberland, TN, OH, MS rivers.... endless opportunities. Don't worry...we will make the Thanksgiving dinner by boat, plane, car, bus...something.

Sorry to hear about the family issues that kept some from coming, and Terry, tell Bonnie to retire as soon as she can. Sure will miss the two of you on this cruise from NY too. Sorry my "little buddy" Roger on SENSIE will not be able to make the Thanksgiving gathering due to a shift in schedules of some crops at the Farm, but see you when you can come.
