SMITH LAKE FREERIDE 2008
SEPTEMBER 20,21
SMITH LAKE PARK
CULLMAN, AL
416 County Road 385, Cullman, AL, 35057
256-739-2916



The water level is ALOT higher now than it was for the last ride in 2006. As of right now the lake is actually at full pool.

I will attempt to have a boat there for wake action but cannot make any promises at this time. I can have Baby John's BBQ cater the event if all parties were willing to pitch in a little cash towards the bill. Baby John's normally offers large plates for 10.00 ea. and reg plates for 8.00 ea. I would hope they would give us a 'group rate' if they new they were feeding 20-30 people.

Open to idea's, desires, input.

Simple directions

from I 65 South, take exit 304(Cullman/Goodhope) and go left at exit
from I 65 North, take exit 304(Cullman/Goodhope) and go right at exit

go approx 4 miles (just past Valley Grove Grocery/Gas Station) and turn
right onto County Road 813 approx 1.9 miles

turn left onto County Road 385 Smith Lake Park entrance is in your right!!

Baby John's BBQ menu is as follows
pork plate-6.95
pork sandwich w/slaw on it-2.99
large rib plate-10.95
regular rib plate-7.95
1/2 chicken plate-6.95
whole chicken plate-9.95
ALL THE ABOVE PLATES SERVED W/BREAD AND YOUR CHOICE OF 2 SIDES
sides are-cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad, potato chips

They also do the usual burgers and stuff for the BK's of the world.

As far as the PARTY goes, we will have it at the park Satruday night either at
the shoreline of the water or at the pavillions next to the cabins. My opinion is-
if the people renting the cabins want peace and quiet, we will do it at the water-
if not-we wil utilize the pavillions.

Now for the adult in me(which is very little)lol
There will be boats there for our entertainment-if you hit boat wakes-you are soley
responsible for your actions!!! Jumping boat wakes IS illegal on our lake!!! However-
the po po makes wakes for me fairly often! If he see's you acting responsilbe-there will
be NO problem. If you act like an idiot-game over for the whole crowd! So PLEASE act our
age and not our IQ.

What about beach access? Last time I looked there was No Boat, Swim Area Buoys around the entire perimeter of the park's beach area.

Nope. I saw Barney going down the road Sunday and he gave us a friendly wave. Really comes down to wheather his taking his meds or not.:scratchchin:
 
I will be there (I live on the lake). I see a problem with the boat idea, it is illegal to jump boat wakes. I know it didnt stop us this past weekend but with a free ride brings more people than what we had and more people means more attention from the cops. If I didnt think the cops would be a pain in the a$$ then I would bring my Ski Nautique as a wave maker. Sorry to be a buzz killer but just dont want anyone to get hasseled by the cops I get enough tickets for all of us.......


I wonder what it would take to use Goat Island there is plenty of beach there ans its close to Smith lake Park and the ramp.

David Cook is the popo on our end of the lake and he is now cool w/the stand up crowd. It took him a long time to get over being an azz-but he has chilled out ALOT. LOL And he knows w/the ride is and has granted permission to invade the park. Goat Island is private property alledgedly.

Well then If he's cool with it I will bring my boat and my SJ I have 2006 Ski nautique with ballest tanks.


SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET-I'm sure we will all be willing to donate gas money for a nautique. Cook really won't say anything AS LONG AS we keep it safe. If he see's a close call, he will tell us to stop.
