It is all true! We are planning a trip again this year.

The only thing is... we would not be doing the Shootout. The goal would be to run the lake and just have a great time and hang out with all my Mid-West boaters.

I know a lot of boating people that never venture out of their familiar surroundings...too bad. We have not even hit up Table Rock and Grand Lake of the Cherokees [which is also huge but not well known].

Party cove is not happening on Shootout weekend at least it hasn't since I have been attending. Memorial, July 4th and Labor Day it is the place to be.

Mr. & Mrs. Hotboat really got the bug when they came out last year. They did not even attend all the parties... Dog Days on Friday night was popping as usual crazy stuff. One big problem for Mr. & Mrs. Hotboat is they don't have their own boat if they did it would be a whole different story. I know business first .

LOTO is hard to beat for kick ass boating...venues, restaurants, bars, scenic, and people are just down right genuine friendly when you come from Kalifornia that's strange...lol.
