MOOTMag #8 will be held at Caddo Lake near Jefferson TX June 9th - 13th 2010
Ok so here we have it this will be edited as it goes along but make time on your calendar for the event of the year !!!!
MOOTMAG8 Lodging and Camping
Your MOOTMAG committee has selected Shadyglade resort for the our use June 9-12. We have negotiated a 15% discount for reservations made before March 31, 2010. The rates without the discount are listed here:
Shadyglade Resort accomodations
Name # units Price/room-night"
Motel 5 $70
Cozy Cabin 1 $60
Mobile #1 1 $100
Mobile #2 1 $100
Lakeside 1&2 2 $80
Prices are double occupancy. More than two persons at $10 per night per person
Tent sites 10 $6
See the website for pictures and details: http://www.shadygladeresort.com/index.html
As you can see, this is not a large resort, so we are going to need to share rooms. If we take all the rooms, we will get exclusive use of the lakeside pavilion (20 ft by 40 ft) for the welcome dinner, or just to hang out.
Reservations require a deposit for the first night at the full rate. The discount will be credited to all four nights when the room is paid for. Cancellations after June 2 will forfeit the deposit.
There is a restaurant near the dock that is open for breakfast and lunch. It seats about 50 folks. If there are enough of us who want to eat there, he would open it for dinner, exclusive to us. Again if we rent all the rooms, we can use it in the evenings to show videos or just hang out whether we eat there or not. We will have to leave it clean, of course.
There are two areas where folks can camp. These areas can have a bit of power, (like for lights or fans but not cooking or air conditioning) but they are not developed camp sites. There are men's and women's restrooms near one of them, (adjacent the pavilion, near the restaurant and boat dock) with showers in them. The other camping is in an area that floods if there are really torrential rains. The turf there is heavy and soft. It is adjacent the motel area. I am sure that those of us who take cabins or motel rooms would share the restrooms with folks who choose to camp in this area. There are no available spots for RV camping.
There is a small laundromat on site. A "steamboat" is available for tours of the lake or parties, etc.
The nearest gas is about 4 miles away. It is about 4 miles to Caddo Lake State Park.
We got a late start this year, and other places we could find on the water are already booked. We need to step up and reserve these rooms. It is a small enough resort that we can fill it up, and we will be the only ones there.
The registration fee is the same as last year, $30. This pays for T-shirts, the welcome meal, and other common expenses. No one profits from this fee. Any left over will be used to support the web site or the emergency parts stock.
We need to include instructions for paying the registration fee. . Send payment via paypal to gregcothern@sbcglobal.net
if you want to send a check PM me and I will give you the address!!
Is your name on this list it should be!!!!

Or even better, move to Arkansas. Charles gets to whenever he wants..... :cool:
I would consider it, but only after my wife divorces me.. I would come, but my wife would not.. :(
We have MOOT Members in Louisiana!
How about you live in Tex and her in Arkana.
QuoteI would come, but my wife would not..
Must be her family, that is the only thing Y'all could have in Florida that we wouldn't have in Texas :D..

I have a Mustang already, but I was not graced with much padding from the Lord...
500 Miles is about my MAX..
Even with the Mustang, I need to stop about every 100 miles to top off the blood in my behind!!!.. So, I might as well get some gas..
LOL, I gotcha man, I wasn't blessed with much cushion either.... :lol: :shock:
why don't Allen steam close to your diretion and you just ride the bike aboard? He does it. then he can float you to TX

I'm with you.. Allen, are you coming by Tampa Bay anytime near MootMag???

how far is Tampa to Panama City Beach? that way he can just cruise along the coast and meet you there
That would make my 1000 mile trip (one way) a 350 mile trip, plus whatever Texas riding there would be.. I don't know if Panama City Beach has an appropriate dock or not.. We can surely find something in Tampa..
Sorry Hootmon :-( looks like your going to just have to man up and ride on over, or trailer it, no shame there.
Ok in the interest of getting this going I need a head count of who is coming we are working on the details of lodging and such and will have it figured out soon so if you are planning on coming let me know and I will add you to the list.
Thanks Allen
As if you don't already know, I am coming!!
I plan on being there hope to bring the wife along.
Think I'm going to miss #8? Not on your life.
Nancy and I will be there!
Marc.
In my best singing voice mememememememe
I definitely hope to make it this year but can't say for sure just yet.
Karen and I will definitely be there. We're looking forward to a great camping trip!
Everyone cross your fingers and maybe all the gremlins will stay away and I can make it this year. The last couple of years something has come up in May that has kept me from MOOTMAG. So for now count me in! 8-)
I'll definitely be there.
Rick Frankenberger
I'm there barring any tragedies. :-P
Plan on coming to MM8.
Brad Badgett
Can you add me to that list please?
bump New Stuff added get them while they are hot!!!!
QuoteNews: MOOTMag #8 in East Texas June 9th-13th Lake O Pines Jefferson,TX

Wife and I are going to Ft. Myers floriduh this year for vacation (she likes the beach thing) with my brother and sister-in-law. My wife reserved the condo for June 19-26 because of our anniversary falling on June 21. Looks like I will miss 2 years in a row Mootmag. Hoot, I will wave as I pass by. :grin:
Just reserved cabin 2 and Greg had reserved a room just before me so that makes 5 is it June yet.
Yep called right after work and reserved lakeside cabin # 1....
Two's IN!!! :grin:
Just made a camping reservation at Shady Glade! Come on JUNE!
I sent an email to Shady Glade Resort asking about their RV Park. They were nice enough to call me & let me know they don't have any sites open for RVs right now. All of their sites are taken up with people who leave their RVs there year round. I appreciated the call & talking to David (I think that's who called). He hopes to have some more sites built by June but we didn't want to take a chance on not having a place so Jeff & I have reserved a site at Caddo Lake State Park.
I'm still waiting on my ferry from Florida.. Nothing yet!!!
Registration fee sent in and waiting on a call back from Shady Glade for reservations!! WOOT!!! Is it June yet?????
Marc.

Today I called Shadyglade resort and told David to rent the mobile home I put a deposit on if he could -- maybe I can get some of my money back. Looks like my original assumption about participation, based on prior years at Koyote Ranch and Beaver's Bend, was terribly wrong.
I still have a motel room, and there is an empty bed if anyone would like to share the room with me.
