Oh boy, getting close. So .... Where is the Gathering gathering? We missed last year's in the new venue and don't know where to find the party. Trailering in late-ish, after work on Friday, and launching at the city basin. Then what?

Thanks!
 
Mart,
This is not easy to find. What about putting some signs up? Both on Scipio Creek and on the main road?

As I recollect you go in to the East of the Airport, then go to the end of that road, and turn left, until you get to 501 Bay City Road---but still not obvious--you have to go down this road, and eventually come to a canal, and the gathering place.

Neat venu--but a bit difficult to find.

We will probably bring the RV, because of time constraint. (lots of irons in the fire--including illness of a very close friend!)
 
Hey Marc, So, we just putt up Scipio until we come to it...enough room to tie up all the boats? We'll be there Fri midday...do you need help with anything, we'll have wheels too.

Easy driving directions ; Hwy 98 to 12th street [the only red-yellow-green light in Franklin County]. North [towards school] till you get to Bay City Rd . Right on Bay City Rd till you see Rivercrest on right . Drive straight to clubhouse .
We are about to move the mobile kitchen and essential equip. in .

We come in by vehicle from 98 Southbound on the coast. Not practical to go "down town" to 12th street. We turn left (north) just past the airport (Airport Dr) to Bluff Road, then to "Boss Charters, past Bay City lodge, and then left on Bay City Road. Last year it was not clear where the turn off to River Crest was--that is where a sign would be helpful. I know that we are far from the only ones who had problems finding the place. A lot different if you go out there frequently.

We should arrive about noon on Friday--and hope to park where we did last year.

Look forward to seeing all there. Chuck and Penny on Two Bears left Pensacola (Bayou Chico) on Tuesday.
 
Ron , I have your airhead here. They did ship it . Gues Ill have to bring it up and see my Grandson !
Sorry you cant make it !
Just made the BBQ sauce and smoked a couple batches of Mullet ..........

I put an album up here for you fine folks. I know there are pictures out there because I saw a shot of a poor pitiful pig on the Interwebs and I do believe Marc and his little party had much to do with the pig's misfortune.
 
Great gathering this past weekend. Marc thanks to you and Anita and all those wonderful folks who schucked, cooked, cleaned, played music, and made for all around good new friends. And, it was large fun to see some old friends and spend time cruising and visiting.
Cheers, Tim and Shirley
