I was thinking about Broken Bow either Aug 21 or 28th. Labor day isn't until Sept 7 this year. I would really like to do the weekend of the 21st. I want to start talking about so everyone will be putting it on their calendars.

A bad day in my boat is better than any other day!
I'm ready for warm weather and lake days!!!! I've been thinking about Broken Bow 09 and it makes me anxious for summer and getting to see all my friends..... I'm thinking about the weekend of Aug. 21. I want to get started planning early so everyone can check their calendars and make sure this is a good weekend for all. If this doesn't work for most, we can do Aug 28, these are the last two weekends before Labor Day. I will have all the info on the cabins, the marina and camping area at a later date. If anyone has any questions just let me, Glenn or Mark know and if we don't have the answers, I bet we can find someone that does. I would like to have a big crowd there this year for our 3rd Annual Fred Sauer Memorial.
That's great Red.....I can't wait, its going to be great to see everyone and we're going to have a good time. It's almost the end of March....will be Broken Bow time before we know it!
hey Glenn, do you remember the couple that was there last year? I can't even remember their name, they came up from somewhere in Texas.....Was just wondering if they came over to boatrant when we all did. Sure wouldn't want to leave them out. I had a business card but I'm just getting old, don't know where I put it either. May be still in the boat!!!
Hey everyone! I have been hanging out over on the CGOA and obviously missing the action. Hopefully everybody is doing well, any more plans for Broken Bow this year? I'm trying to get some interest up for a gathering at PK sometime this summer, any thoughts? I still have not been there since getting the 212 done so either way we will be going sometime this year. Sorry I have not been around, the new Saberflite project has been taking alot of online parts searching time along with some trips to get them. Talk to you all soon I hope.
Long time no hear Jeff, I thought that site shut down last September? I deleted the link and moved on and just checked it again since your post and seems to be still shut down. I doubt I will be able to do a PK trip this year, already have a few plans and I have heard very bad stories about BRA (Brazos River Authority) about how bad people get harrased. A person I met that had a boat on there for 15 years moved it this year because of it. He has a Lake front house on it but refuses to get on the water, his boat is now 100 miles away at another marina. G
I just made our reservations for the Broken Bow meet to find out we were the first one's to make reservations ... Whaz-Up wid Dat .. we gonna be there by ourselves .. ?
No Red, at the very least it will be the 2 of us for sure, lol. I was waiting for Janet to chime in on the 8/21 date before I made my reservations. I'm sure we will do the same thing this year as we did the last time, go a few days early, so we can have some extra time if the weather turns sour.
Great to hear from you Glen, the site is at:
http://www.classicglastron.com/phpbb/index.php
Still alot of folks missing from the past but it's moving along. Think maybe you and Debra will make Broken Bow this year? Sondria says she is coming this time, I'll believe it when it happens. I've only been out in the 212 1 time this year so far, the weather is being a pain every weekend. Take care.
I'm hoping things work out so we can make it. If we do though, we'll stay at the lake and camp out. I'll bring my portable a/c if I have to, ;). I've got the gearcase off my Evinrude right now. Found some water last time I checked the lube. Should be ready next week. Hopefully, I'm getting the urge!!!

Jen and I are going to try and make it to BB.....Aug 21 Work permitting Larry
Jeff, After a trip to the boat doctor, Pizzaz is no longer taking on water and she is starting every time....for now. Water was coming into the lower unit from a hole in one of the bellows and the water entered the shifter mechanism and gimble bearing.
We are suppose to be there, would like to try Greeson. No reservations yet, 8/21 would work if I'm still owning a boat, gonna be a rough one this year.
Just curious, is there any chance of backing the date up 1 week to the 14th? School fires up here in Lubbock on the 24th, it was a little tough last time, getting back late on Sunday then starting a new school year on Monday.
Jeff

We will have the same school issues as Jeff. We can't travel to the lake until Friday night or early Saturday morning and have to return early Sunday, so we're kinda waiting to see how the summer unfolds. It's a long trip. I sure would like to though.

Hey Guys...Sorry I haven't been in touch about Broken Bow...things are just kinda crazy around here!!!! About Broken Bow....I think the 21st of August is going to be the best date. If that's good for everyone. Just let me know and we will start the planning process. I can't believe it's already the middle of June! Time flies when things are crazy!!!!! I'm looking forward to the 3rd Annual Fred Sauer Broken Bow Lake Memorial. If you have any questions, just let me know and if anyone wants to contact me, my email address is different than last year, just send me an email janetsauer@valliant.net. Thanks and I can't wait to see everyone.
I'm just now reading all the posts about B-Bow.... I don't see a problem with the 14th if that is better for you guys. I don't think about school since I don't have kids in school these days. I will check the availability with Cathy at Whip Poor Will and make sure the time is good for her. Everyone just let me know and we can set the date for sure in the next couple of days. Sorry, I have been kinda out of pocket the last couple of months. But have to get in the Broken Bow mode now!!! See you all soon. Janet
You better get shape up down there or I'll have Pete come over there and give you a spanking.
I made reservations already but I'll call Cathy and tell her to change it to what ever dates you two come up with, I'm pretty flexible but the Fox has gotta put in for the time off.
I just checked the availability on the cabins at Whip Poor Will and it looks like most of the smaller cabins are booked for the weekend of the 14th. There are only a few of the bigger ones. The weekend of the 21st is pretty much opened. I will still check it out with Cathy and see, and we will go from there.
Hey Red...I'm not scare of Pete!!!!! Don't change anything yet, there isn't much available for the 14th. I'm thinking its still going to have to be the 21st. Will know more in a couple of days. I can't believe how time has just gotten away with me. And its not looking to get any better any time soon. But I will get on this right away. I hope you are having a good time so far. I just got my boats outside and have got to start getting them ready. Was hoping to get on the water this weekend, but not looking too good for that either.......There's not enough time in the day!!!!! Talk to you soon.
Well....maybe we could do it earlier in the month. I will check out all possibilities!!! Ya'll throw some dates out, except for the 14th of Aug and I'll see what we can do. WE have to make this as convenient as we can for everyone.
I talked to Cathy and there isn't much open during the month of August. If we back up any more than that we get into July. So.........Ya'll need to let me know...can we work out for the 21st. I want everyone to be there. I apologize for not getting on this earlier....things have been a bit crazy around here and time just got away from me. If so....we need to start booking cabins. I think the camp sites are first come...but not sure. There is also the Lodge there that is actually on the lake if anyone would like to stay there. The number to Lake View Lodge is 1-800-435-5514. And the number to make reservations for camping sites is 580-494-6300. Please contact me 580-317-4050 or email janetsauer@valliant.net. Thanks guys. Janet
Sounds good Mark. So the 21st it is. I hope everyone can work it out. I think Red already has a cabin, and I'm going to book mine today. Mark, did you get the number for the camp sites? And if you remember....there are some right there on the road down to the boat ramp. Not far at all from the water or the cabins.
And there are slips at the arena where, we can put the boats so we don't have to load and unload every day, if anyone wants to do that. Just remember to take the snacks out or the raccoons will get them!!!!!
My cabin is Booked!!! The same one as last year and the year before that~~~~ I'm going over on Thursday the 20th and will be there thru the weekend. I'm looking forward to see everyone. Larry I'm glad that you and Jen will be there, is Matt going to be able to come with you? Those boys sure did have fun last year!!! Well, I can't wait to see everyone. The 3rd Annual FRED SAUER Broken Bow Lake Memorial, 2009.
Yes...Mark it's on, and I really hope that you make it this year!!!!! You have to. I'm excited about seeing everyone! If anyone needs more info or anything just let me know.
The website for the cabins is info@okresort.com you can book right online, camping and RV park call: 580-494-6300 and if anyone has any questions you can call me at 580-317-4050 or email me...janetsauer@valliant.net
Unfortunately, Its official - we can't make it. We are out of town the weekend before and the week after school starts for the kids which doesnt leave any time.
It sucks tho because we have the boat ready, have the money, and so on...
Well guys....its less than two weeks now til we go to Broken Bow. I hope everyone that plans to go has booked your cabin, camp site and boat slip. Everything is looking good and I'm getting really excited. Can't wait to see you there. If you need anything just call or email me...580-317-4050---janetsauer@valliant.net
