Ozarks Invasion

[onesojourner]

Is there going to be a southern fried free ride this year? If so is there a date yet?

[Mouthfulloflake]

I might go again, if they have it in Arkansas this year

[tor*p*do]

its is going to be limited to mx and quads . . ..

there is no water left in the south!!!!!:eek5:

[Frosty]

the way lanier looked on the news last night... not looking good...

how about a Great Lakes Jetski Winterfest... :rolleyes:

[Big Kahuna]

who knows............. not looking good............

[onesojourner]

well there is plenty of water left in the ozarks. You guys come come to the Ozarks Invasion this year instead. I was just wondering if it was getting scrapped since it wasn't on the list for 08. We need to plan around that for the Ozarks Invasion.

[Mark44]

I am hitting the Michigan ride with the St. Louis crew

Mark44

[The Avery J]

When is the ride?

[Mouthfulloflake]

I might be able to swing the ozarks invasion, thats a bit less of a trip for us.

[onesojourner]

You should plan on it.

[Matt_E]

Will there be drinking? :haha:

I wish I could make it.

[Mouthfulloflake]

dude, have we met?

If I am there, there will be beer.

[Matt_E]

If I'm there, there'll be a dremel.

And carnage.

[Mouthfulloflake]

I generally only have bodily, or vehicular carnage in my wake.

[onesojourner]

good I will see you both at the ozarks invasion then. Maybe ketsair will bring the sail boat.

[Mouthfulloflake]

make ketsair bring the beer

[Katie]

Mark44

Yup..what he said.

[Mark44]

Aj there is no date yet but there will be, can't wait to fit the waves with you.

Mark44

[onesojourner]

He isn't old enough to buy beer.

[onesojourner]

When is the ride?


what ride? we are talking about 3 now.

[Katie]

Aj there is no date yet but there will be, can't wait to fit the waves with you.

Mark44

Ummm fitting waves? What is that?:shrug:

[Mouthfulloflake]

waves, the latest fashion.

[The Avery J]

All of them!!!!!! Yes old enough to buy beer!!!!!!

[Mark44]

Damn you Katie you know I think faster than I type.

HITTING!

Mark44

[Mark44]

All of them!!!!!! Yes old enough to buy beer!!!!!!

and one crazy AZZ rider.

Mark44

[Mouthfulloflake]

sweet, Avery, you bring the beer then.

[The Avery J]

No prob I'm a bartender so used to handing out beer.

[onesojourner]

The Ozarks Invasion will most likely be the first or second weekend in June. There will be a vote.

[Big Kahuna]

this has turned in to an ozark thread, so I moved it, Onesojourner, you can go edit the title...........

[aqua]

sweet....not even thanksgiving yet and people are talking about ozarks invasion. :Banane09:

[Mouthfulloflake]

is there any way to do it, where we dont have to DRIVE 30 minutes from the campsites to the ride spot?

the one LOTO trip I attended was like that

[monsterSJ]

count me in

[aqua]

the one LOTO trip I attended was like that

if there is a way that we can camp at pb2 that would be cool. I am sure most would rather ride at pb2 during the day since the waves are big and plus there is the area there where we can pull the skis up on the bank. pb1 would be great if they let us use the swimming beach. maybe i can check into it.

[Mark44]

Yep stay at a nice hotel on the strip.

Mark44

[Mouthfulloflake]

Wife would love that, I personally would MUCH rather camp.

Driving thru town before and after each day of riding is hard logistically when you like beer as much as I do.

:wavey:

Yep stay at a nice hotel on the strip.

Mark44

[showmepro1200]

I didn't make this last summer but I'm thinking I need to make an appearance at it this (next) year. :wavey: Boats in tow behind truck though, too far to ride from the 3mm mark, family cabin.

[nightrider05]

This gonna be a standup ride? Have a few friends that wanna go on some rides..I will have the SJ out.

[Mouthfulloflake]

I dont think its a standup specific type thing.

someone correct me if IM wrong, but I thought everyone was welcome!

[The Avery J]

we will need to meet up other then the Invasion I have a house on the 7 mile marker. It's nice cause I'm on the main channel right next to HT cover and shady gator

[Mark44]

Anyone can ride any time with the St. Louis Crew.

I don't know...there is this Mark guy that is questionable...

[The Avery J]

Is there power at the camp site, and high speed internet? Oh yea is there covered parking for skis mine doesn't like to sleep outside.

[Katie]

Power yes-internet no, and no covered parking.

[Mouthfulloflake]

Is there not a campground closer to the ride area?

I recall the LOTO trip a couple of years ago, the same dilemma, but I think I remember only wilderness, or NON electric sites closer..

dang.

the electric is NICE to have, I plug the smoker in, and toss on a chicken, a boston butt, and some ribs, and go play while it cooks.

[The Avery J]

well I'm going to make the trip but will most likely stay at our house I like to go out at night and i can walk to the horny toad, plus I really like to sleep on a bed not the ground. I guess if enough people go it would be a big party at the camp ground. What was it like last year out of water everyone has a good time in the water.:Banane35:

[Mark44]

AJ you are going to have to go on the Kincaid and Rend lake trips they are a blast.

Mark44

Well I'm down for all the trips the only weekend I can't go far away is the 4th of july so just let me know fyi I might be movin behind the QT off richardson rd and jeffco. I'll know in the next couple of days the only prob is no place to put the ski.:dunno:

You probably got to watch the OSS races from your house didn't you? Nice.

Our (family) place is in the middle cove between the Village Marina and Lewis Marina coves. If you come in that area I (or my son or a friend) are the only ones riding the standups, the ones in my av.

[Speedfreak]

There is covered parking... The trees provide a bunch of covering...

AJ check out the cabin trip it was a blast.. We didn't really get around to it this year but last year was HUGE... Cabin trip (http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=7157&highlight=talley+cabin)

[Mouthfulloflake]

the one I take camping is!

like I am going to haul half a rick of wood, and feed a wood cooker every few hours.

blah.

Like you care, you dont know how to drive this far anyway!

{ hint... I generally fill the bottom with pecan wood when Im cooking pork....}

[keefer]

MMMMM I'm getting hungry, just how far is it anyway?? Can't be any worse than going to Daytona..

[Mouthfulloflake]

hmm google LOTO from nashville.

502 miles, 8 hours.

( 11 hours the Way Moon drives)

[Speedfreak]

When going to the Ozarks you MUST have a good running ski.. None of this "it ran for my test ride of 10 minutes" It must be tried and true complete and in perfect running condition. I know... trust me..... All of the pictures of my ski was sitting on the beach with the flywheel off and parts spread all over the place.... I was only 1/2 mile from party cove and attempted to make it there and failed all 3 times...... I won't do that again I will take a spare motor...



Hey Moon.....if you are coming from Nashville we can carpool..... If you look at the map where I 24 joins up with I 57 in southern Illinois I am only about 8 miles from that. And then I will let you pay for fuel from there to the ozarks......

[Mouthfulloflake]

sounds MUCH like my last trip to LOTO.

black boat sat on the beach most of the time with me wrenching on it.

[onesojourner]

This isn't a stand up only ride but the ratio of stand ups to sit downs was pretty close to 40:1. If I remember right the drive was only about 10 minutes with all the random stops in between. You can have a crappy running ski just don't try to go to party cove. Just stay on this side of the traffic and you won't have a problem.

[The Avery J]

I'm trin to line up a house boat to ride behind to the cove. He goes just about every weekend he's just not much for jet skis. My plan is to get coulpe of people on the boat to get some pics and footage. I think if I throw some money his way it shouldn't be a problem.

[onesojourner]

Sounds good. Let us know what you come up with.

[ski_crazy]

I hope to be there, too. I'd like to put faces to names and shake some hands of fellow X members. I can be at pb2 in about an hour from my house.

[WET BOX]

This will be fun! :Banane09:

I guess the Kawis will have to represent again this year! Especially now I have a fancy dancy intake grate.:arms:

Hopefully Katie will be pulling BRs by then.

Later dudes

[let it loose]

I plan on being there!

[Mouthfulloflake]

I'm OUT.

[xeon]

the way lanier looked on the news last night... not looking good...

how about a Great Lakes Jetski Winterfest... :rolleyes:



frosty lets host a Can Am Lake erie ride... let people view our nice norther chilly water...

[XFT LOU]

The LOTO freeride is set up better than some held in other states. Other rides you have to park, carry you gas/supplies for the day to the beach and there is no camping. Three years ago we camped in area #4 instead of area#1 Four is on the water but a long ride to party cove. This photo is '06.

[Speedfreak]

frosty lets host a Can Am Lake erie ride... let people view our nice norther chilly water...

NO offense but Hell no... That one word that started with chill ruined everything for me

[XFT LOU]

Here is a link to the water level. The 658 ft is from sea level, it really has not changed in years http://server.odd.net/waterlevel/index.php Hey speedfreek the water temp last year was 80. Is that OK.

[Mouthfulloflake]

Hey Lou,

so in 06, where was that place we camped?
I think I recall it being area #1?

[XFT LOU]

Yes, That was the year you drove there twice. The water front sites are down in #4. Their is no boat ramp in the site itself, we just backed across the grass. The boat ramp for the intire camp ground(1,2,3.4.) is right next to area 4 but the road to it is up on top beginning next to the ranger station, where you drive into area 1. ya see! Just on a side note all of our, ST. Louis Crew, weekend rides are camping on the water fronts:aka. Kincaid, Rend, JR's place. http://www.mostateparks.com/lakeozark/camp.htm

[XFT LOU]

onesojouner, Maybe before you post dates to choose from check for wakeboarders. This was Sunday June 3 '06 the weekend we were there!. They had all of area 4 and the boat ramp and that mile long cove was no wake for the week end. This could cause a problem for spontaneous riding Fri and Sunday between meeting everyone at pb2 on Sat.. Can you spot the 4 jetskers.?

[Speedfreak]

Yea 80 degrees was great.. just warm enough that I didn't get cold carrying my ski back and forth while working on it...

I would guess the 4 jetskiers are the 4 homos in the middle of the first picture.....

What do I win??? Did I get it right???

Hahahahahahah:Banane19:

[onesojourner]

I will see if I can find any info on the wake boarding stuff.

[velocity]

I'm in. Flake you usually take the whole crew or fly solo?

[showmepro1200]

Mouth full o' flake :pokey:

[Mouthfulloflake]

haha. lake flake, whatever!

It will just be the wife and I velocity, its too CR$AZY busy on the water for my kiddos.

[RAGS]

what about bringing boats?
i have a nice party boat that is a great wave maker and camera boat
it would be nice to bring.
a few ?'s though could i just anchor off over night or would i have to pull it out?
btw if i do anchor i will be camping on it not unattended.

[Mark44]

Yes you can anchor and leave it on the water no one is going to take it.

[RAGS]

Yes you can anchor and leave it on the water no one is going to take it.

i wasent worried about that as much as if it would just be a nuisance to bring.
would like to hear from someone that has, is it worth it?

[XFT LOU]

That would be your call to bring it or not. I can tell you one year the family next to us keep his boat at the marina wet docked at pb1. A short water front walk to campground he stayed at.

[showmepro1200]

If you anchor it out I would imagine you'd have to have the lights on on it at night - just something to think about. Dont want someone to hit it.

That is if you leave it out there, you may be beaching or docking it.

[Mouthfulloflake]

are you bringing skis rags?

I think id sit on the bank and watch, talk and drink beers before I took a boat.

its VERY busy boat wise.

check this from a couple of years ago.

Lake of the Ozarks June 3 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3144260667973964148)

[Speedfreak]

Nice video... that is the year I wasn't there or you would hear me cursing and throwing stuff from the beach... MY ski ran really well last year.... NOT


both minutes.....

But a boat would be great to bring so that the people with broken down skis could get a ride over to party cove.

[XFT LOU]

Thats pretty cool. This by no means shows the boat waves. That channel makes a sweeping left and the entrance to the largest party covebegains. I choose the wait and attack approach.

[RAGS]

are you bringing skis rags?

its VERY busy boat wise.



ill be brining a couple of skis.

and the second sentence is the kind of info im looking for thanks mfol

[Mouthfulloflake]

Rags,
In case you havent read before, its a CRAZY busy lake, large boats, hauling AZZ everywhere.

You need a good running ski ( able to restart fast) and a decent rider, you dont want to spend much time floating, or seperateed from your ski, youl get ran over.

buddy system always, and look out for each other.

I never even ventured over to party cove with the guys last trip, my ski was hard to get started, and I didnt feel safe out of the little cove area where we set up day camp.

its a VERY busy lake, just look at some of the sat photos for the amount of boat traffic.

[RAGS]

thanks again man, well im sold no boat. 2 skis will probably be enough work anyways.

[onesojourner]

Its busy but that shouldn't scare new riders off. There is plenty of space between the big boat highway and the shore. Its pretty easy to stay out of harms way. there was a little kid riding a superjet for the second time last year and he was fine.

[Mouthfulloflake]

right, there is plenty of area there to stay out of the way.
I was just saying its very busy, and full of traffic out in the main channel, and I think a boat would be a PITA there.

to ME at least.

and there is no way in hell id let my son ride out there, he can ride well, he would love it, but I just couldnt do it.

[onesojourner]

I agree I would never bring a boat.

[Mark44]

On a good day if my boat was any smaller than 30' I wouldn't attempt to go to party cove those waves are just to big at times for a small craft.

Mark44

[Speedfreak]

There is a ton of room if you stay away from party cove. That entrance can be super crowded... A really good place to loose a ski and a life if you don't pay attention. We wait out side of the cove and watch for boats dropping off of plane. The waves are HUGE. The farther you stay away from that spot the safer it is.

[WET BOX]

We need to revive that nifty "you could die here" picture that Speed posted a while back. I actually laughed out loud at that post.

Later

[Mouthfulloflake]

yep, that cracked me up too!

[Speedfreak]

Yea that was good.. I am glad that I can amuse you guys so easily...

looking at that picture.. My ski never made it to the ski that is drawn in red at the top it kept breaking down. All I wanted to do was cruise through Party cove a time or 5... And then Sunday when my new girlfriend :shhh: got me a boat to ride on mother nature canceled that idea with a hurricane... Just my luck..:loser: I may need to bring a backup ski this year...

[Mouthfulloflake]

Ill bring a spare engine and you can use it if you need it.

:headbang:

[let it loose]

Yeah that vid makes it look safe but it can be very crazy out there especially on the holiday weekends. I wouldn't feel safe on a boat unless it was over 28ft and had good horsepower.

[RAGS]

You should be okay in the Aunt Avis, looks like it has a deeper hull and that weekend won't be as wild as Memorial Day. You can anchor in the party cove at night. It always fun waking up and crackin' a beer with everyone else that's there. There is usually a row of houseboats beached together partying through the night.

[showmepro1200]

"Waking up"??? Lightweight. :Banane09::Banane09:

J/k - in reality I've never been there before.

That 25 footer would do fine in the LOZ. Unless its one of those really really bad days (wind, etc.)

[onesojourner]

There is a small fishing tournament at pb2 one the 7th 7 boats in the morning. on the 14th there is nothing at pb2 so that looks like the best date.

Ive heard you cant ride there, and other folks say you can.

I have never been.

I might want to tag along!

[Waterwiper]

Yes you can still ride out there.

[Mouthfulloflake]

I really dont like to disturb the fisherdudes!

[Mouthfulloflake]

I know marks short cut. remember that little air port next to the camp ground? Also onsojouner is leading us through this pole and shirts (shirts I really hope since last years were great) I'm working on something else for this official x-h20 freeride.

[Mouthfulloflake]

I sent the dates home, wife is checking the calender to see if we have any conflicts.

Lou, is there anything I can help with?

[ski_crazy]

I don't live to far away from The Lake and work there almost every day. Let me know if I can help in any way too.

[XFT LOU]

[ski_crazy]

[ski_crazy]

Ketsair, you need a babysitter? I thought you were old enough to change your own diapers?:17:

Crazyflights you need to post your vote.

[Mouthfulloflake]

I had planned to bring Micheal Jackson to look after any children on the beach, he MIGHT not mind to look after Ketsair too.

Bawwwhhaaaa :lmao:Thanks Mouth now i have to clean milk off my wife's MAC. She is gonna be pissed. I'll tell her it was your fault. She might hunt you down at the Invasion.:Banane36:

[Mouthfulloflake]

Dude,

if she isnt a lebesion, it is of little doubt that she WILL eventually hunt me down.

ask Katie Holmes.....

[Speedfreak]

Ok so someone needs to start a new thread this one is now about dreams...

[Mouthfulloflake]

nah, this thread is just fine.

We will eventually need a ROLL CALL thread.

and then a POST YOUR FACE/SKI/VEHICLE thread too though.

then we need some drama threads, perhaps we should auction off a beer, and then NOT deliver the pull tab to the drawing.

or worse, have someone steal the banner that says " ketsair is a girly man"

[Mark44]

I will volunteer to start the drama thread maybe we can get one of these dyno's to auction off and also have a 5mm stroker crank giveaway for speedfreak??

POP POP POP..........:smashfreakB:

Mark44

[Speedfreak]

No one will steal that... Who wants something with ketsair on it.

And I know who can donate the stroker crank... There is a guy in New Jersey that is hording them he should have a few thousand laying around by now.

[ketsair]

nah, this thread is just fine.

lol, i'm thinking about bringing my roll around box this year, no offense to lou & his tool box, it was awesome handy, & i always appreciate lou letting me use his stuff, but having everything in my box there would have made working on yours last year a breeze..lol

[Mouthfulloflake]

what are tools?

I bring beer, old fuel mixed haphazardly with cheap oil, and some dry panties.

anything else is overkill.

all those folks we met, showmepro1200, JeepFamily, Bleed Blue, Steveng777, and im sure there were some others, they were good folks, I dont think they ever migrated to the X though?

[showmepro1200]

I migrated to the X about 500 posts ago :haha:

[Mouthfulloflake]

I knew that!


haha

[Ejake]

After months of looking I migrated over. Im midmo800 on the other site. And I voted on the date for the invasion, but I ride up there every weekend so I dont care when we ride as long as its soon.

[Mouthfulloflake]

Hey midmo,

[Ejake]

[XFT LOU]

Hello, Midmo800/ejake!and wecome over from "today".

[Ejake]

[Speedfreak]

What were you on? And do you have a picture? I don't know names but I don't forget skis or faces.

[XFT LOU]

Whos in the forground holding the 800's

[Ejake]

I have the 800 with the green motor cover and green nose piece and green blowsion rail caps. I live in Springfield mostly ride arround my house thats on the 42 but do go down to table rock some. The ski is in the process of getting a make over and should make it to paint some time in two weeks.

[Speedfreak]

Uggg... I hate those ozark pictures... somewhere in every picture there is that same guy wrenching on that beautiful ski on the grass....... What a doofus... maybe he can get a ski this year that runs more than on the trailer... :aargh4:

[XFT LOU]

[XFT LOU]

Get your out of Katies purse
:haha::haha:

But you know what could happen if they would ride a SJ. There wouldn't be another 3/4 roll. The problem would be 1 1/4 rolls.

i keep asking but she keeps saying NO!:dunno:

[onesojourner]

I think it would be about 3 rolls on the xft.

[Mouthfulloflake]

When is every one planning on arriving?

We were thinking of coming up Thursday night, so as to not feel so 'rushed' for 2 days.

any other early arrivers?

[Mark44]

I think it would be about 3 rolls on the xft.

Wetbox would destroy that ski by the looks of his proudly worn SXR.:popworm:

Mark44

[WET BOX]

I don't know if it is the way I ride that makes my SXR look shattered, or if it looks shattered because it IS a heavy ass SXR!

WOW, that really blows my mind. :trink26:


P.S. I am looking forward to seeing a XFT backie at the invasion (Lou). A SJ roll would be cool too (JR,Mark,Katie). :arms:

Later Peeps

[monsterSJ]

youll see an sj roll i promice and prob see a wcf backie and an sj backie

[onesojourner]

We will be up there friday. Last year we got up there around 7 but we might try to take a half day off work and get there a little sooner on friday.

[Mouthfulloflake]

thats what i was thinking, It would be nice to get there early Friday, set camp, go ride, and be back relaxin when the rest of the homies roll in to camp.

PS: I can fix that ski when it get too bad.

[ski_crazy]

We plan on getting to the Lake around noon 1 o'clock on Friday. Can't check in to the camp site till 3 p.m. Will probably go straight to pb2, ride some then back to the campground to set up, break out the coolers, and my hot dog cookers and be chillin. I live close enough I can get to pb2 in about an hour from my house.

[Mouthfulloflake]

right.

but it is rare for anyone to camp on a thursday night, so its generally safe to drop stuff, leave a tent, whatever...

I think we are 4 hours away, we could leave early, be there around noonish, spend an hour unloading junk, be at PB2 by 2pm or so.

explain these hot dog cookers to me?

do I need to bring slug burgers to 'raise the bar' ?

Whats a "slug burger" doesn't sound very good. I had cheese burgers for dinner and now my tummy is feeling a little weird. Here are my hotdog cookers in the for ground. You can see part of my tent in the background.

[Mouthfulloflake]

dog cookers look cool.

here is a slugburger, they are VERY good!

I make mine with cornmeal.

[Speedfreak]

That is too cool.. We have a place about 3 miles from my house that sells ... well I call them SOY burgers but they are the cheapo burgers that you are talking about. They are $.25 for a hamburger and $.30 for a cheeseburger. I try to eat there about once a week. They are great. I want one for sure if your cooking them...

Hell is sounds like I am just eating at your camp fire every night. Bring enough food for me. I will just need to pack drinks now..

I actually like spam!

the low sodium is better.

slice it thinly, and dip dredge in cornmeal, and then fry it up... its good.

it is also EXCELLENT catfish bait.

[Speedfreak]

Mark the homo doesn't know what is good.... A little meat market here in town makes home made hot salami on saturdays. It is the best. It will have you burping garlic and spices all afternoon. Everybody except the aforementioned homo of the group likes it...

And I will agree Spam kicks anus. Fried up with eggs is good also.

[ski_crazy]

My wife make the best Spam, baked with scalloped potatoes. yum yum yum

[Mouthfulloflake]

spam for breakfast, spam for lunch, spam for dinner, spam for baiiiit!
