Hunters campground is very nice, nice ramp also. In the B~C album we have a pic of the boat tied to the float at Hunters

Looks like there is plenty of water in the lake & the weather is going to be decent so we're all set to head to Lake Roosevelt.
Here is our plan--on Wed June 2 we'll drive to Seven Bays Marina & spend Wed. night there; on Thursday & Friday we will work our way north getting to Kettle Falls Marina sometime Saturday June 5; on Sunday we will head back to Seven Bays spend the night there & drive home on Monday June 7.
How does that sound Question

Lake Roosevelt cruise--how many boats are going? I know Pat & Patty of Daydream can't make it. How about you Ken, Jeff & Diane, Doug--will you guys make it?

Wade, Jeff, Diane,

Just got the word that the Navy changed the schedule of the ship I am to ride and I will be unable to make the Roosevelt Lake run. I was looking forward to this more than any other so am going through a major whine but got to work to pay the fuel bill. I'll be thinking of you all and looking forward to hearing how the trip went. We plan to make the trip before the end of June so note the lessons learned.

We're not signed up, but we're trying to get there. We won't know if we can get out of here until a couple of days before the event. If we're able to break free from work, we'll land there Friday evening and stay by where we put in. We'll then try to catch up with the rest of you on Saturday.

It sounds as if you have a good plan WadeV. I think we may end up towing to Hunters on Thursday night. We have to be back home on Sunday and that would make it a bit easier. We'll have the radio on, if nothing else we'll meet up in Kettle Falls....should be an enjoyable trip + after the holliday, gas prices should drop down to at least a buck a gallon (in my dreams)

Ken, we plan on spending Thursday night at Hunters so we'll probably see you there. Lyle hope to see you guys.

Great, we'll probably pull in pretty late and not even launch......I was looking for info on Kettle Falls and found that they're having their annual Town & Country Days that weekend...we may get to see them crown a new town grouch

Wade, that dock at Hunters just juts out into the lake, if it's windy you might consider motoring on up the river another 10 miles and on your left you'll find a nice protected cove.

Thanks Ken, I'll keep that in mind--if you don't find us at Hunters we'll be in that cove. Give us a call on the VHF we'll be monitoring channel 16.

This is turning out better than we might have planned! Our friend Bob lives in Colville, which is just a few miles down the road from Kettle Falls. We'll probably leave Cottonwood early Saturday morning, pick up Bob mid-day, and then find the fleet near Kettle Falls on Saturday afternoon. I recall someone proposing a potluck that afternoon/evening; is that still a possibility? If so, we're happy to contribute.

Hi Greg, Not sure about a pot luck--looks like we'll only 2 maybe 3 boats. We will be at Kettle Falls Saturday afternoon & your more than welcome to partake in our afternoon libations.
Looking forward to meeting you & having an opportunity to brag about our boats.

There's a timely artical in the Sunday Oregonian travel section about Lake Roosevelt....Still time for you Oregonian readers to grease those wheel bearings and hit the road for a quiet, post holliday vacation.
It's looking like the weather is going to turn warm and sunny again.

2day, washed boat & truck

2morrow, load stuff

Thursday, hit the road about noonish, stop at roadside country store just north of Tri-Cities for chocolate covered cherries, hit Hunters campground before dark.

Friday, attempt to make radio contact with Why Not crew as we motor our way to Canada (maybe we can make it that far)

Saturday, work our way back to Kettle Falls for some C-D B.S.

Weather report is calling for 80-86 degrees and sunshine, all the holliday boaters have gone home, and jet skis aren't allowed on the lake, that all makes for a fine long weekend. The only fly in the ointment is M, she's complaining of a sore throat. I sent her to bed with a jug of Nyquil and plan on keeping her drugged untill we're on the road. I better go check her Nyquill IV now......later
