Cattailspa, thanks for the photos -- they bring back good memories! I still cannot believe we never took any pictures...
GripB, Sandy Point is about an hour from our house, so we get over there sometimes when the weather is good. Maybe we can coordinate a trip sometime this summer?

Do you boat to Sandy Point or launch from there? We bought our boat from a Crownline dealer in Severna Park, MD and launched from Sandy Point...some nice ramps there

GripB, OH is correct, Sundays and holidays can get pretty crowded. Saturdays or OK. If you do go on a Sunday, we try to get there by 9 or 10AM, and we'll get out by 2 or 3PM.
Sometimes, we'll go later on Saturday, like 4 or 5PM, bring along dinner and hang out 'til 9 or 10PM. Cruising around in the dark is really cool, and there's maybe 10 boats on the entire lake by 8PM.

We launch from there. It looks like the picture in your signature is from the Sandy Point ramp. They have to be some of the nicest ramps I have seen!
We are really looking forward to getting to Raystown this summer -- I can't wait

That picture is from Sandy Point, good eye . The ramps are great, plus there's plenty of room to maneuver at the ramps. My overall length (tow vehicle & trailer) is over 50 feet so the more room the better

Ok Gang, I'm in big trouble. The Admiral is going to kill me. I haven't made my reservations yet and it's too late tonight. I have this sinking feeling that I'm going to be up $hit creek. We did the Villa last year with another couple and it was great. The villas run about as much as the lodge when you can share the costs. I'm really hoping a villa is available.
We've had a few really nice days temperature wise and I'm getting the itch.

Hope you make out alright will you call. Didn't see you on here late. Hope ever thing is alright. If you can't get anything at the Resort. You could get a Motel in Huntingdon. It would be about a 30min drive. Give me a call if you like some night. If you need my number just ask.

Thanks Cattailspa, I have your number from last year. Everything is ok just working my butt off trying to maintain and even grow the business a little. I have a pretty good book of work but one of my repeat clients is about 30-40% of my business and it makes me a little nervous with the economy rumblings. I really don't want to lay anyone off. It's my biggest weakness as a business owner.

Sounds good I've got a hectic summer upcoming with two big projects down by you and Waywego's area (Johns Hopkins Hospital and Langley Air Force Base). I'l try to coordinate a Friday site visit to check on my guys/job progress (of course with the Crownline in tow ) and stay for the night then boat on a Saturday. We'll have to stay in touch.

Sounds good. Is that close to where you were last year? When will you be getting in. We have to what till closer to time. But I can see if there are any spots at our dock for you. Have to see what our friends are doing that weekend. Should be at least 3 spots available for you.
