Inspired by WakeWorld, we continued the tradition of a June houseboat trip to Lake Shasta. We had a GREAT time

Thanks to Dave and WakeWorld for bringing us all together.

I'm sure there will be more pictures and details coming soon as others are still driving home to San Diego and Las Vegas. For now, here is one for you all.

Sorry, I guess it's not the 2nd Annual... it's probably the 4th (started by Dan a few years ago). It's the 2nd Annual for Tate and I.

(redv215) · (redv215) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-17-2007, 10:30 AM

I tried like 6 times. Not too bad. Some attempts were better than others but at least I am over the fear of getting hurt.

Jeremy - Is this who you are talking about?

(hollister) · (hollister) **Join Date: May 2007** 06-17-2007, 2:23 PM

nice job tate... 800 pics to choose from & you choose the gayest possible one. Any way just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making this a very memorable trip (especially sara) I had a great time & met some good people. Can't wait for next year. Oh & lets c if we can find a bikini that actually "fits" tate next time.

(tantrum916) · (tantrum916) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-17-2007, 5:49 PM

Attila I'm fine just had to make a quick run into the ER for a rupchured ear drum and some stitches.

Jerry, where exactly did that log jam take place?

(redv215) · (redv215) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-18-2007, 12:31 PM

Yes, it was behind the Sanger, 70ft @ 22.5mph

We launched out of Jones Valley and went up the Squaw Creek arm to the end near the 5mph zone. There is also a nice spot just inside the 5mph but it was taken while we were there.

Jerry- Ankles are never fun I fractured mine last summer when I rolled it landing short on a tantrum... worst 2 months off the water of my life since we'd just gotten the new boat. I can't wait for shasta we have a trip planned July 17th

(buzz_grande) · (buzz_grande) **Join Date: Mar 2004** 06-18-2007, 8:36 PM

Damn! Homesick already. I will get off my butt and post a couple pics. I still ahve not looked through all of them, except for the ones that we can not post, which is a large percentage of them. I may try to pay Dave off and see if I can get a couple of the "R" pics up, at least for a day (not likely).

Jerry - Take care of the ankle. You will be up and running soon!

Pics to follow......

(lzyboy) · (lzyboy) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 06-18-2007, 9:27 PM

Looks like a killer trip & many memories being made... Keep the pics coming, looks like nothing but good times. BTW, how much did you burn through in gas on the HB $300?

(litlone873) · (litlone873) **Join Date: Jan 2005** 06-18-2007, 9:44 PM

Aaron - yeah about that. But we were conservative on running the generator and we went to one close spot and stayed there until it was time to go in to empty the tanks and then back to go home.

(tantrum916) · (tantrum916) **Join Date: Mar 2005** 06-18-2007, 10:13 PM

Jerry, keep us in formed on the ankle, hope it is not too serously hurt. Oh and thanks for the photo credit!

The 2007 trip was $650 per person which covered everything from food, booze, and boat gas (houseboat and wakeboard boat). The total for the trip is on my home computer.

Yes you are required to have a permit to have fires on Shasta Lake. Nice pics guys. Next year we should hook up and I can get a crew on my houseboat. Heading home tomorrow, home being my boat.

You do have to have a permit...you just ask for one @ the office when you get your HB.

8. Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination.
9. Where is the nearest toilet? I refuse to vomit in the street.
10. I must be going home now as I have WAKEBOARD in the morning.

thanx 4 askn... I got off the crutches 2 days ago but I'm still hobblin around like a drunken pirate. what a horrible time in the season to be sidelined. I'm goin to the lake tommarrow w/ Jon, I guess I get to be all-time boat driver 4 a while. anyway hope your ear is doin well. I busted mine last year & I got some pro doc vented ear plugs. They work good & you can still hear the music from the boat. check em out they might help get you on the water earlier than expected, just watch out for 40 foot cliffs.
