I'm pretty much in the dark on who all is planning to make the trek to OKC. I have confirmation from Mark in CO and Mal in FL. Two boats are members of OCBC, and there is a third on Lake Hefner someplace. I was very sorry to hear Jerry wouldn't be able to make it. I'm hoping that Rob can come up from Galveston, and Harry from MO. JoJo's boat is finally being repaired to correct the damage from Ike, so she will not be able to attend. There is supposed to be a boat in Wichita but I have not managed to contact the owner yet. The fella who was planning on making the trip with me also had a conflict and had to bow out, Larry was my cameraman, so this really sucks! I'm still planning to get there, but it's going to be on the cheap. I'm figuring a couple of hundred bucks for fuel and I'm sleeping on the boat. My schedule is to start down on Wednesday and get in late Thursday. Set the rig Friday morning. I have not moved the boat out to Mosqueto Lake yet, and may not bother prior to OKC. I still have stuff to finish up, and I am less likely to get this done if she's out in her slip. OKC looks like it will be my 'splash day' this summer. I do not know if Miss Pam will attend, 1060 miles would be pretty tough for her.
