Welcome to Lake Time Version 3.0! As of today the lake is at full pool and we are looking forward to having everyone with us for a great time. For those who have not attended before, we are located near Pell City, AL on Logan Martin Lake. Learning from previous events we have now honed this to a fine art so hopefully you can join us!<\/p>\n
Arrive anytime on Friday September 22nd and stake out your camping spot in the yard. We have plenty of room for tents and even several RV\u2019s but sorry there are no electrical or water hook-ups. There should however be water in the lake this year (unless something goes really wrong!) so be sure to bring your swimming attire. We will have the pontoon boat full of fuel and ready to go! Hopefully Sanford will be there from across the lake with his beautiful Ranger Tug and lead the boat parade.<\/p>\n
For those that want to ride, there is great riding in the area including Mt Cheaha, the Talladega Super Speedway & Museum among others. So you can ride or just choose to stay in the shade and enjoy the lake! We will have a planned street ride for\u00a0Saturday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0morning to highlight some of our favorite back roads in the area. The ride will be long enough to be fun but short enough to get us back home in time for a leisurely afternoon lakeside.<\/p>\n What are we going to eat? Well for those arriving\u00a0on Friday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and in time for dinner around\u00a06PM<\/span><\/span>\u00a0we will serve lasagna. We\u2019ll have a light breakfast\u00a0on Saturday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0morning before the ride departs (Saturday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0lunch on your own) andSaturday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0night with everyone\u2019s help we will once again create and serve \u201cdump stew\u201d. If you are not familiar with this epicurean delight here\u2019s how it works. Bring along a can of anything you choose to dump into the stew pot. Now normally this is some sort of canned vegetable but use your imagination! We will have the meat which will be stewed along with the other items dumped in and have bread to accompany it. You will be surprised at how good this will be! We will then have a light breakfast\u00a0on Sunday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0morning to send you off! As with all of our meetings, suffice it to say, you won\u2019t go hungry!<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to camp? There are two motels in close proximity that you can contact for accommodations. The closest is the Big Bull Lakefront Motel. This is an old style one level mom and pop kind of place that has hosted fisherman for years. Recently renovated with new owners I believe. Never stayed there but would not be afraid to! Located at 4304 Martin St. S. Cropwell, AL 35054\u00a0(205) 338-3344<\/a>. The other option is the Quality Inn located at I-20 & US231 in Pell City. Their number is\u00a0(205) 338-1314<\/a>. There is also a new Hampton Inn at the intersection of US231 & I-20. Their contact number is\u00a0800.916.4339<\/a>.
