Ok folks, <BR> <BR>It's time to start getting a head count for the gathering this year. <BR> <BR>The Dates are 08/25 -08/31. <BR> <BR>The motel is booked but there are always last minute openings. There is camping and RV hookups just down the street. Alta Lake Golf Course still has rooms available as well. <BR> <BR>We will be having the King of Crash competition again this year, along with the Idiot Kicker exhibition. <BR> <BR>Friday we're having the Seven Hole Golf Tourney. It starts at 7am, we play 7 holes, all holes are par 7, you are allowed to use a 7 iron and a putter. The drink of choice will be Seagrams Seven and 7up. <BR> <BR>Saturday night will be a pot luck bbq and a raffle with all proceeds going to charity. <BR> <BR>This event is very family freindly so no worries if the kiddies are coming. <BR> <BR>That's all I've got right now but I'm sure others will have pics, comments, contributions from past years. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/608482.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/608483.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/608484.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/608485.jpg" alt="Upload">

U know I'm in!!!

After our glassy conditions this morning why would you not want to ride sammamish. I could get used to that kind of water.

I'm in, how about an appearance from you Robert. I know Bryan and a few others are heading over on Tuesday as well. We'll be heading out to the houseboats on Friday, so there should be a couple of weekend rooms availabe for anyone that wants to just come for the weekend.

I'm in.

How could this be #5 when I went to NWWF in 2001? Did you skip a year?

I'm a tard.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>For some reason I was thinking five. Keep in mind there all becoming a blur to me. I've been going ever year since 90, back when it was a work/golf function. <BR> <BR>You're always welcome to come Steven. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Seattle on August 01, 2008)

It's waaaaaay too cold for Steven.

Do any of you know people that own property in or around Pateros? I was looking forward to this event before I realized I'll be back in school at that time. <BR> <BR>I've only driven through in early June, never been out on the lake. What will the water temps be like? (If anyone has info on what the range is from say, mid-May through late September that would be appreciated. <BR> <BR>Thanks

Looks like this year's potluck and raffle are shaping up nicely. <BR> <BR>We've decided to donate all proceeds from the raffle this year to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Organization. <BR> <BR>For anyone who's interested who they are. <BR> <a href="http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm" target="_blank">http://cms.komen.org/komen/index.htm</a> <BR> <BR>As usual Steve Hahn is stepping up to the plate and helping us. He's creating a flyer and working with his contacts for donations. <BR> <BR>Thanks Steve.

ive heard about this from kenney he and his fam went last year but i was in iraq... i dont think they are making the trip this year but i was thinking about checking it out but wanted to see how hard it was to get a ride from someone when i get their i sent my boat home... <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0>

Man I wish I could make it. With trying to dredge a channel with my boat, going to the ocean the week before, and going to the inlaws the week after.... I just can't afford it again!!@# And my sis in law lives 100 yards from the dock too!

Ryan, there will be plenty of boats there to get a pull. Steven, you know I was kidding about it being too cold. You do don't you??? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I hit up Wiley for the raffle. I have one of the ugliest tube type things that is Barney purple. Why anyone would pay $150 for a tube is beyond me. Maybe we just tow it and use it to jib on??? I will also be hitting up the shops here in CDA. If anyone in the Northern Idaho/Spokane area needs a lift, let me know. <BR> <BR>Jakober, you get the first of the week off yet??? Don't make me listen to Barry Manilow on the road trip by myself.

Ryan, <BR> <BR>You'd have no problem finding a pull at this gathering.

Forgot to post the web cam link. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.paterossuperstop.com/" target="_blank">http://www.paterossuperstop.com/</a> <BR> <BR>Drool away now.

cliff, trying to talk my wife into heading over. <BR> <BR>we're pretty fried, just got back from lake roosevelt. if we come, we'd probably make a day or two out of it and stay with my folks in wenatchee at night. how many folks coming so far?

Sixty so far...

wow!!! right on.

Jae G, <BR> <BR>I'm in for the whole week!! I'm not sure how my body is going to make it, but I will try my best to keep up with you West Siders<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>So for golf, all I need to bring is my 7 iron and putter right?

I'm in for the weekend, the whole week sounds awesome, but I can't take any more time off of work. <BR> <BR>Anyone have a link or number on how to try and get a room for the weekend if something opens up? Or is there any camping, I've never been before so I know Jack...

Jakober, I am an Inlander now. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Jakober is coming all week? sweeeeeeeeet. <BR> <BR>Just bring a 7 iron and a putter. I will bring some old clubs for people with none that would like to play.

Last year's fun <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakepics.com/video/21541/pateros-07" target="_blank">http://www.wakepics.com/video/21541/pateros-07</a> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/610101.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/610102.jpg" alt="Upload">

Please say Billy is coming. I have some suicides ready for him. LOL!!!!

Keep the pic's coming....

Hey Reese, you in?

Joe, <BR> <BR>If your interested give me a call.

Like always, Im in with family

Golf is set for Friday. I've got three tee times for those wanting to play.

Heck I went slalom skiing the other night, I might as well golf! <BR> <BR>What's next, wake surfing<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Cliff don't thurf. J, you can use my clubs. I'll be using my 7 iron but maybe you can use my 3 and 4 to make a seven??? <BR> <BR>13 days and counting.

Jae G, <BR> <BR>Don't worry, I have clubs. They have just gotten a little dusty since I found the sport of wakeboarding 17 years ago<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Getting together sometime this week probably won't work, but lets shoot for next week.

Sponsorship is coming along well. Here is a list of the sponsors that have committed. <BR> <BR>CWB <BR>Obrien <BR>Silverstar Clothing <BR>Liquid Force <BR>Wakeboarding Magazine <BR>The Standerd Wake Quarterly. <BR> <BR>I'm still working on a few others.

Nice work Steven. <BR> <BR>Now <b>YOU</b> just need to get up here for the event!

Headed to Vegas today to shoot out on Lake Mead, then I'll be in Arkansas for a Fox/Nautique shoot Aug 25th - 30th so I'll be unable to attend once again. Pateros is one of my favorite spots by far! One of these days I'll bring the family up.

Bummer, it would be nice to finally meet you.

Hahn check your email

Hahn won't come. He's afraid of what Billy Mangrove will do to him. LOL!!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

Billy, sorry to hear that. Hope to see you next year. If you are ever in the North Idaho area look me up. <BR> <BR>Has anyone heard from Fisher??? Did we scare her off, or is it something the Chicken did?<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0>

I hear that the boxes of schwag are starting to show up at Cliff's house! Hope everyone gets something from the Raffle. I wish I could be there.

Oh man I wish I could go!!!! 3.5 hour ride and I'm not going to be able to make it...ugh. <BR> <BR>Next year, I'm down for sure! No matter what. I will actually be able to wakeboard too because my shoulder will finally be healed. <BR> <BR>Have fun guys!!
