Texas Roundup 6, PK 2007

[DonCig]

I know that it is a little early for some to plan their September travels; but can we take a stab at the dates in September for this gathering?
I need some mesquite meat; and bad!!

Don

[farmer tx]

Don, It will be Sept. 21-23 at Bass Hollow. See you there.
Mark

[DudeHoss]

Thanks Don, I'll be there!

BASS HOLLOW (http://www.basshollow.com/)

[RickSE]

Maybe just maybe. :lookaroun

[Team Jefe]

Reservations are already set Room #2

[kd5cue]

called get a room ,,said there booked up till oct,,did any body get a room?

[farmer tx]

kd they have a habit of booking us a year in advance if you attended last year, so they may appear to be booked up. I will call and see what the deal is. Their reservation system is not the best. A spiral notebook with names written in with pincil.
Mark

[roadtrip se]

The whole rig is finally here to stay at Cumberland.

Think you guys could keep those pesky little named storms out of Texas for this weekend?

[farmer tx]

Two years ago when Rita hit the coast, the spinoff winds stired the lake with 1-2' chop. It was a great day. Some brave Canadians showed up that year, and attendance was down from locals. We will put a hold on the Gulf twisters if you and Jill are going to make it.

[kd5cue]

i sure would like to go,,not sure i want to pitch a tent,,

[farmer tx]

There has been a shake-up in managment at Bass Hollow and the new manager is not allowing employees to make reservations. Also there are no reservations being accepted at this time for the time period after Labor day. I will call the new managment Monday and see what I can find out.

Mark

[thriller]

Maybe another fly in for me..Does Wes have a boat yet?
I am kinda fond of Texas and it's popcorn and smokers and boats and friendly folks..

NOT GOOD, maybe I don't have room #2 set.

[farmer tx]

I am waiting for a call back from managment. But for what I have been able to piece together we are ok.

[farmer tx]

Mike the popcorn and smoker are lined up just come on down.

[Darrell]

Mark, if you talk to them have them book my same room for me.


Darrell

[farmer tx]

Darrell, I was in Vernon today coming back with my trailer from Lewisville. Saw the Altus exit and thought about you and Janet. Everythings going good I hope. I will confirm your reservation when I make contact with B.H.

kd5cue, Do you want me to add your name along with Darrell, Jeffe,Don and I? One standard room on the boardwalk? Or do you need a cabin?

ok thx ,ill give a call on monday:propeller:

[Team Jefe]

Room 202 confirmed. Team Jefe is in.

and...uh...Mark, I thought we agreed that it was best for all concerned if that first picture was never again published:bonk:

[farmer tx]

I had to go way back in the archives for that one. T.R. III to be exact.:)
Glad to hear you and Renee are in.

[roadtrip se]

We will be there. Debate still ongoing about pulling a boat, but I am leaning in that direction. Jill will fly in.

I'll make reservations in the next few days.

[Trueser]

Todd,
Swing buy and we can all go together.

You sure we cant move this to Don's this year?

[Lenny]

Hmmmmm, if it is NOT the SEMA (car show) weekend THEN I think Deneen and I will be in :)

Probably a fly-in thing. If it is too crowded, and few boats, then we will bail so the tow-ers and friends can have some fun.

I have been twice, loved it twice, and it is NOT something that EVER ends up "bad". Just wish Todd and Jill still had their "summer place".

THAT was to die for...

Memories that don't seem to leave, ... Lenny

Gents - there is always room on the Revenge for...the ladies. Not sure what y'all are gonna do.:lookaroun:

All kiddin' aside. We gots plenty of room for the "Northern Texas" folks:wink:

Hell, on PK you could ride in the bow pulpit and be comfortable:yes:

[roadtrip se]

starting the 19th. Misty is gone and Linda needs to call me back to take the reservation. The person answering the phone stated that they were so "busy" that only certain people could take a reservation. Interesting.

We'll get it done.

Update: I talked to Linda. She is holding a bunch of rooms that were reserved by last year's attendees. Richard Reed and Lenny were two that
she mentioned. If you haven't already, please call Linda to confirm your reservation, so she can rent us "newbees" a room.

[K5_Guy]

Hey guys, I have a room reserved from last year when I had to cancel because the deal fell through on my 28ZX. After all the hassle I ended up purchasing a Chaparral 285 SSI wanted to make sure I wouldn't offend anyone if I showed up in my chapparal, I still carry my Donzi towels and it does still have twin 6.2's? Let me know.
Dave

[Team Jefe]

come on, we ain't that stuck up.

[patolucas962000]

Rick are you going to consider this???? I'm in if you are honey....:smileybo:

[farmer tx]

I talked to someone at Bass Hollow today and they stated another shakeup in managment was taking place. My reservation was under Polly's name and Jefe was reserved. No Somerville, Abernathy. I would suggest everyone confirm your reservation. They seem to have everything in a mess. The GO TO contact now is Linda. I left my number but as usual I did not get a return call. You just have to dog these people I guess. I will keep trying to get things straight, and will post updates.

Later,
Mark

K5 GUY, That is why it's called the Texas Roundup, any boat is welcome.We had a bayliner as a pace boat one year and that lasted about 200 yards, but they had a great time along with everyone else.

Kurt, I got your message thanks,

[Team Jefe]

I second the Farmer's advice. I got a call yesterday...about my fifth one on this deal, to confirm. Linda was very apologetic and told me they are shaking things up again and want to be sure that the DON-ZEYE folks remain happy with the arrangement.

So, give them a shout and confirm your spot.

[Darrell]

I also took Farmer Tx's advice, Room 201 was still open, and we are set, we will be rolling in on that Thursday .

See ya

Darrell
& Janet

[K5_Guy]

Great! We are in, any secrets on things to bring other than fuel and beer? I guess food would be good also. Is there a schedule of events or is it more go with the flow?

I'm replacing the starboard gimbal ring, right now...ouch, but we will be good to go by then.

[Team Jefe]

K5 here is the agenda

1. Travel to PK
2. Hug and Kiss Polly....and any other DG onsite
3. Launch the Boat
4. Dump our stuff in the room
5. Have a great time with other Donzifiles
6. Eat, drink, sleep a little
7. Go home

as for the rest....we're kinda loose about the details:wink:

[K5_Guy]

Sweet! When's everyone else getting there? I don't think we'll be getting in until around midnight on Thursday. My better half has to work in the lab until 5,:frown: but we'll be ready to go Friday morning.
FYI, Spoke with Linda @ Bass Hollow, and said she only has confirmation for 5 rooms, she doesn't have contact numbers for all the reservations from last year so y'all better get on it!

[farmer tx]

Got a few photos from my spy in the sky at PK. I remember taking this road with RTSE in a Cobra and it didn't look like this. There is a big stir downstream on the Brazos about the release of water from Pk. You recon the trout that were at the base of the dam are in the Gulf yet?

[roadtrip se]

That is sobering.

Bet the boys below are wishing they had floating docks at Granbury.

The roar has to be deafening. Sorry I am not there to see it.

Incredible.

[kd5cue]

does any one mind if post texas round up on texas hot boat web site? thx kurt

[farmer tx]

That's fine, I posted there two or three years ago. Only a couple of people showed up from Lubbock. Shark in the pond was one, I think Rick? was the other.

[roadtrip se]

and of course she is going to call me back. How the hell does this place stay in business?

Is it the Hotel California, where once you get a room, you never leave?

Is it a Jefe conspiracy to build out the Red Bikini Team Bench, by allowing only certain women with a confirmed "configuration" to place a reservation?

Perhaps the place has been taken over by our local congressman and he is trying to run the place like he did up on the Hill. "I am sorry sir, but you need to submit the proper legislation and documentation to us showing that you have a standing reservation from five years ago."

Or better yet, the place has become the latest summering spot for Aliens.
Afterall, it's just a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Roswell and green people like to ski and tube too. Come to think of it, I've seen a few of those buggers running jetskis here on Lake Cumberland. Be careful who you flip off, they could have the mega death ray packed in their swim trunks.

Or Lenny's worst nightmare, the place has been taken over by Godzilla-peads!

I would say it is the locale, but I spent a lot of time in this area and the people at the Cliffs Hotel were only too eager to take your reservation and overcharge you for a room, by whatever your wallet would bear.

Hoping that Linda will bless me with a room by September....

[farmer tx]

I talked to Linda today and she asked if we were expecting any more participants as she was getting requests for rooms on that weekend in September. I told her I would try to get the fence sitters to check in with her. I let her know we have never occupied the whole resort and to go ahead and let the rooms that are still available.
So anyone still on the fence please make a decision soon and contact Linda at 940 549 0104
See ya there.

[Biskit]

I hope I'm still in the room they booked me in. I recieved one call from them Fathers day weekend and another after that. I'm plannin on going. The Stranger.

[Team Jefe]

Todd - you Jill WILL have a place to stay...even if Angel and I have to sleep in the back of the MEGA CAB.

and you're right about the RBC...except that JILL is a founding and charter member of the team:yes:

I am obligated to work the whole month of September. Sorry, I just will not be able to make PK this year. And I was stuck here at work and was unable to make it to Powell also. Have I become a slave to my job? I am high hopes of squeezing in the Hometown Rally the last weekend of September, but, that will be iffy.

Steve

[roadtrip se]

but at least Linda is calling me back now. Jill just booked her plane ticket, Jefe you will have to talk to her about packing the Venus swimwear, and I will be hauling her boat down to PK for its rally debut.

There is hope yet. I never thought about sleeping in the truck, but is it called "sleeping around" if we bed down in the Excursion one night and the Mega-cab the next?

Linda asked that I mention that she has one room at the hotel and several cabins up for rent for that weekend.

Excellent. See you all there!

[farmer tx]

Cool RTSE, Looking forward to seeing Jill and the 18' Scorpion.


Kd5 this is your chance to trade your trailer for a room.:crossfing:

[RickSE]

I called and talked to Linda last Sunday. I got the same response most of you seem to be getting; she took my name and number and said she'd call me back when things slowed down. Well it's been a week now and no one has called me back. So I have no idea if I have a reservation or not. :confused:

[RickSE]

OK, guess we're in. Linda just called to confirm, says we're in room 207. I just wasn't sure from our first conversation if I had a room or not.

[roadtrip se]

If so, I may need to change plans and bring my 500 boat. We had planned on bringing the new-to-us 18 Scorpion boat out, but it would be cool to see and run with a genuine, factory SE.

Either way, glad to see you are going to make it. Look forward to finally meeting you.

Todd

[RickSE]

Todd,
Yes, we're bringing the boat. Should be a fun trip and we're looking forward to seeing some good friends and meeting some new ones, including Jill and yourself. It'll be fun to do something different. Bring the boat that makes the most sense. I'd like to see either one.

I'm hoping I can also convince my dad to come and bring one of his boats from TN, but we'll see.

[Team Jefe]

Bring the Scorp. We're all pretty tired of you speeding past us in that red flash:wink:

Besides, I need to RBC pics of an 18 Scorpion:yes:

[roadtrip se]

and bring the Scorpion. We'll be looking for tips from the "Master of 18 insanity hailing from Colorado" any way. Some schooling is definitely needed,
as this little bugger continues to kick both of our butts.

I'll hop in Rick's boat, if I need a 500 fix.

And by the way, the red bikini has been making appearances at a lake near us all summer...

Look forward to it, if the boat cooperates. Pulled the starboard engine to replace the gimbal ring found a broken steering arm on the port engine. :mad: Instead of pulling that engine too, bought external hydraulic steering from XS Performance Marine, Thanks Bryan @ www.xsperformancemarine.biz, :yes: and am trying to get it back together. Along with filling my wallet again from the flogging it just took.:eek!:
Look forward to seeing you guys there!
Dave:shades:

[farmer tx]

Darrell please put me down for 2-XXL, 2-XL, 3-L, 3-M, 2-S. Since a number of people are arriving Wed. I think we will come a day early. See ya there. RSE that would be a very long drive in one day. It's 10 hours from my house to Flag and another 4.5 to PK, that includes two fuel stops and various potty breaks for my navigator.

from what I hear, this place, shall we say, is a bit off the beaten path.

Been by it on the water many times, but I don't have the faintest idea how to uncover it from land.

Thanks and see you all soon.

[TXDONZI]

Ok.... I looked over this whole thread and could not find any where that it said exactly when or where this event is or even the name of the lake. Unless I was reading to fast or its in alien code and I didn't understand it....LOL

Tt

[TXDONZI]

Dah.... Ok I got to thinking and figured out the lake...... Still unsure of the weekend.....

[Team Jefe]

Kurt - Sorry about your Bro, we will keep a good thought for you.

Tt - PK on two weeks, weekend of Sept 21st, bass hollow. Hope you can make it. Angel and I are pulling out of Dickinson Thursday night around 1800, your welcome to tag along if you'd like, call me 713 825 2443.

Todd - I can get there but I don't remember the road names....I'll get back to you.

[Team Jefe]

Bass Hollow website: http://www.basshollow.com/index.asp

The addy does not show up right on Goggle maps

From the east end of Graham, take 1287 south for about 10-12 miles to FM 1148, turn left (east) its about 3-4 miles to BAss Hollow on your right (look for the shell station.

[roadtrip se]

Didn't want to get into the area and end up in Abilene or Mineral Wells.

That final mile can be a killer....

[Trueser]

What ever you do not trust Map quest on this one. We ended up on a gravel road that hit a dead end. At one point we came across a spider web that went all the way across the road. When we hit the web it was like we hit a small animal I was thinking it cracked the windshield.

We turned around some how and made it back to town to find a car wash. It took forever to get the dirt out of the 22.

I looked over the 22 and I need to get some tires before this trip.

Funny. I think we did the exact same thing, all of the way to the end of road and it turned into gravel. You are right, do not trust Map Quest, or Yahoo Maps on this one. Jefe said it right, look for the Shell station, and it is right behind the station. Sorry to miss this one. I just can not get away. Work is dictating when I can get away this year.

Jefe, are you living in Dickinson now?

Steve

[Team Jefe]

Trueser - that's what we call a Little "Sugar Sack" Spider, 'cause they only weight about 5 pounds:wink:, you and Lenny should have a margarita and talk over Texas Bugs.

Steve - Yes, we are the newest Dickinsonians...and available for stored boat "keep the gas clean, motor running, and drive functional" shaked down cruises....for a small fee, of course:yes:

2 weeks and counting:hyper:

Cool! What part of town are you in? The last time I was home, it was still there off of Hughs Road, on Tanglebriar. And yes, that poor little Blackhawk sure needs to be run. Every weekend I have been home this year, it was rainy. I have Fuel Additive in the boat, but not the Stingray.

[K5_Guy]

Man I can't wait, I really need this weekend! :beer:
Look forward to meting you guys but as usual the trip is getting closer, but the boat isn't, should be done, better be done.
Started witha gimbal ring on the starbord engine, got that pulled nd found out the arm was broken on the port engine. :splat: Figured that it was time to go to external hydraulic steering instead of pulling a second engine. Called up Brian @ XS Performance Marine to get a steering system in the works and am working on getting it all back together! BTW Brian's systems are awesome if you need one. So God willing and the creek don't rise, dry or wet run this weekend, however you look at it. :crossfing: Texas Roundup @ Possum Kingdom next. :hyper:
Git Er Done!
Dave

[Team Jefe]

Not Far, we are off of 517 just west of Cemetery Road

Is anyone else getting excited about the weekend? Weather is looking pretty good!:hyper:

[Donzi Angel]

We am sooo ready for this weekend. Just the food alone is worth the drive!

So...do we have a head count on who all is coming????


SEE Y'ALL AROUND 1AM FRIDAY MORNING!!!!

RENEE

[RickSE]

What is in the area as far as food? Are there any supermarkets or restaurants close by? I'd like to hold off on buying the bulk of our food supplies until we get there if I can.

How about fuel, is there a good fuel supply near by?

We're close to being ready, just need to finish packing and wrap the boat up for the trip. We'll probably leave Wednesday afternoon, stop in Amarillo overnight and finish the trip Thursday morning.

How about any fees for the lake? Do I need to purchase anything in advance?

Anyone have a extra 27P Mirage?

[K5_Guy]

You have to uy a boating permit,
i think the fee scedule is as follows:
Annual permit $50
Discount annual permit (over 65 or active duty/retired military) $35
Single-day $5
3-day $12
5-day $20
As far as food and groceries, not sure. I think there is a shell station at bass hollow, but other than that not too sure.

Drove down this afternoon from Detroit.

Goal is to be somewhere in Texas by this time tomorrow night. Finish up the drive Wednesday morning and do a little exploring around my old stomping grounds when I get there.

Jill's boat is hooked up and ready to go. The owner is flying in Thursday and will show up late afternoon. How's that for full service? Of course, her cocktail will be chilled and waiting...

When I talked to Horne, he mentioned that there is a pretty good grocery in Graham for supplies. Gas is right at the entrance to Bass Hollow in the form of a Shell. Maybe I'll throw a little of the super premium "ultra" stuff they carry in the Scorpion and see what it does.

Locked and loaded, good to go, and really looking forward to seeing PK, as it has been far too long.

See you all there!

Rick - Trip and the Farmer have the 411 as usual. One point though, the store in Graham is very nice for a small town grocery. But if you're looking for some special stuff, I'd make a run to a big Kroger or H-E-B in Amarillo since you're stopping there anyway.

Go-juice: watch the prices and fill up at your last stop before you get to PK. The prices at the Shell tend to be a little more than elsewhere. Not much to sneeze at usually...but for me anything times 200 adds up fast.:wink:

See Y'all soon.

After looking at some of the gas prices online I may just fill up here or in Wichita Falls. We're at $2.54/gallon in AZ and looks like the Flying-J in Wichita Falls is $2.69. Filling up the boat on the road is a pain since it'll be covered up but I also don't want to tow 900-miles with a full tank of fuel back there.

Man I wish I could use my old long haul truck for this trip, one fill up and I could make the round trip home. Fitting five people in a regular cab truck though won't really work. :boggled: I hate these new trucks with small gas tanks.
