Slingshot Booze & Blues 2018 (Fri, Oct 5th 2018, 9:00am - Sun, Oct 7th 2018, 3:00pm)

Hey Gang just a quick heads up.

The lake is currently at 309 ft above Sea Level and expected to crest at 310 ft that is 10' above normal. Since this lake is primarily for a flood control and everything down stream is already flooded we do not expect it to get back to normal in time for Booze and Blues.

As of today the only real impact it will have is on our planned routes sine many of them cross the lake and run thru the low lying areas currently flooded and or washed out. @Designer and I will try and make some time over the weekend to drive around and see if we can reroute around some of the damage. But I fear the rides will not be quite as exciting as usual. Some of these areas are just to dangerous.

For anyone not from the area to help understand how much water is involved the lake is 50,000 surface acres and the other day it rose over 1' in 8 hours. Since all this water is coming in from the mountains north of us I am sure it will continue for a few more days.

Here is a link to some information about the Lake if you want to follow up. Wilmington District > Locations > District Lakes and Dams > John H. Kerr

So far everything else is on - Poker Run / Lunch / Movie Night / Harvest Days Festival / Lake Life Live / Brunch

Watch the weather and if for any reason you can't make it I understand just let us know

Love John to death. But, I just don't want to see that. No... not at all. Love to see John, love you to see you, and love to see all of our friends that are there (be it met in person or yet to meet face to face). Plan to be there, with bells and whistles.... and anything I see, is like in Vegas. It stays there....

Looking forward to seeing you Sharon, Larry and Rhonda again. Will be great to see everyone from last year and some new faces also. See everyone in 2 weeks

I'm in for all the activities.

We may be out. Hate to even say that. Would love to see you all one more time to do some riding and visiting. There are several factors, but the biggest is that my wife Sharon just lost her aunt last night. They were close. Looks like I'll be off most of next week (aunt is in VA, right at NC line) and this may mess with days I can get off. Not to mention it will cost nearly as much as Clarksville, and anytime I don't work I don't get paid. (think contractor type of thing). Will update after all things fall out. If we can't, y'all have a great time and at very least, we'll see you at Maggie Valley!

If we don't make it, I'm very sorry Mitch! I was really looking forward to this run, as I wanted to go last year but couldn't work it out....

Brent sorry to hear about Sharon aunt

@Goats_Hogs So sorry to hear about Sharon’s Aunt. We will miss you both. My thoughts and Prayers are with you, Sharon, and the family.

We have not met but I am sorry for your loss.

@Goats_Hogs....sorry to hear of your wife's loss. Our condolences and best wishes to her, you, and all of the family & friends.

Hey Brent, Sorry for your loss. Velma and I are dealing with the same. We will miss you and Sharon in Clarksville, but family first. Rest assured, we will come up with something before Maggie. Our deepest sympathy to you and Sharon.

@Goats_Hogs I'm sorry for your loss. I have an aunt I'm close to so really feel for Sharon.

Brent sorry for the families loss but hopefully you'll figure a way thru this and still follow your heart

Sorry for the loss Brent. We will keep you, Sharon and the rest of the family in our prayers.
