2012 Roadtrip! Be There!

[Traveler2586]

CHIME!!

OK, it's now close enough for me to try to get a headcount for the Saturday Night Wine & Cheese Soiree, which, despite Long Mike's confusion, will be Saturday evening.

Let me know if you will be there so I can ensure that I bring enough chow. One year I ran a little short, and last year I had way too much. I would like to plan it better, so PM me if you will be there. All are welcome; the more the merrier.

I will set up a sandwich bar, condiments, salads, veggies & dip, fruits, chips, etc. And a selection of wines and cheeses. I will have some beer and soda, but probably not enough for 20 people. Once I get the perishables in the coolers I'll fit in the soda and beer. Won't be that much room left. Bring your own beer, or whatever you choose to drink.

Is there anything I can do to help out?? And yes, I'll be there:)

I'll be there for the wine and cheese party....what the heck is a soiree anyways!

It means "take a bath, put on your Sunday clothes" (from my dad when I was a kid), and show up with a smile on your face. (from my wife).

I knew what it meant guys...just trying to be funny! I even know it is pronounced "sore-a"!

I didnt so I looked it up. Well, last year when we talked about it. I think last year we had about 5 pgs on that one word under the road trip thread.

All I know is I'm ready to fish and catch some big AL bass!

If you don't know what a soiree is consider yourself disinvited. It's fancy talk for fancy people, understood by the elite of the world. Riff raff will only degrade the cameraderie of us beautiful people.

I hope the local tackle shop will have enough licenses and lake maps; I'm looking for a good topo map.

Get your license online. Print it out in the comfort of home. Print a couple of them and stow one in your wallet, and the other in your boat.

Well hail, I guess I will be drinking my fancy muscadine wine and home-made shine all by myself in the corner!

After receiving a couple of inquiries I realize that I did not mention dates.

My little get-together will be Saturday April 21. Sorry for any confusion.

Just for the record. it's pronounced swah-ray.

I originally planned to arrive in Guntersville Friday night. Plans have changed and I won't be there until sometime Saturday, Apr 21. It shouldn't take me long to get it all set up, so I'm shooting for a 7:00pm start time. Show up later if you're out fishing. As long as I know you're coming, I won't run out of chow.

Long Mike and Roadwarrior will be there, so I make no promises about not running out of wine.

[Traveler2586]

Do they allow any hard stuff in Gunthersville, if so I'll drop a bottle of JD on the table

If you noticed, I didn't say it would have anything left in it

Thanks, have them on order.

I have five 1936 USGS maps showing the area with the proposed lake if anyone is interested. There on PDF format and would need to be emailed. They show the old river, roads, creeks, and so forth, but no depth or contour lines.

This is amazingly painless. It took about 3 minutes to have my licence for the week printed and ready to go.

I will be there and will be glad to bring some wine and/or beer. When you get a count on how many are going to attend either pm me or post.

An open invite. I'm planning to be there at first light on Friday, the 20th. At the moment, I have an open seat (two actually)

Anyone else arriving on Friday and interested in fishing, send a pm. We can hook up early, or later in the day. Let me know.

Now I understand the Rhino part of your name,,,, you must have the stamina of a rhino to drive that far, and then fish!!! How do you do it????

My hat is off to you, sir..

[Fishing Rhino]

Autopilot. I'll be getting to our daughter's home in GA, and spending a night or two there. Her home is about two hours from Guntersville. I'll leave her house for Guntersville at around five in the morning, and be at Guntersville around six.

No, there is nothing wrong with my math. She lives on the western edge of the eastern time zone. Guntersville is in the central time zone. I'll leave her house at five eastern time, four central time.

Still sounds like an awesome effort driving the hours you do......

Here's an update folks. It looks like we will be having the wine and cheese thing (soirée to you ignorant folks) on Saturday night, burgers on Tuesday night, the "banquet" on Wednesday night and Alpster's red beans and rice creation on Thursday night. Guys and girls, these meals are coming out of our own pockets, so we are asking that you donate five bucks a head for each meal. Any monies left over, if any, will be donated to the guy who busted his butt to host the meal. Where these events will take place are still undetermined - but will be. Zip Pow is on it.

Edit: While I was talking to Zip Pow this evening, our conversation was interrupted because he was on the lake fishing at the time. While we were talking his buddy caught a nice one and ZP had to tend the net to get it in the boat. He came back on the line to tell me that the fish weighed ONLY about five pounds. Gotta love it!

Sounds good to me; and thank all of you for your thoughts and efforts.
