I turn my head for 5 minutes and then Drifter says, look at your 9 YO son. He had fun, mom is seeking counseling.

We love the facility, but I get to hang out in my parents RV. I have stayed in the cabins before and they are fine. Clean and cold A/Cs. That and the awesome Trinity river, throw in a 100 of your closest friends and you couldn't ask for much more.
We were there last year too and don't plan on missing this event ever. David and Cody do a great job putting it together.
Bethy is a cool place, Laid back, always clena and just a relaxed place. We have been going there for years. I have pics to load on my home PC tionight and ill be posting up some. Great time for sure. Cant wait till next year,
Ok... my turn. The room was simple but super clean and frankley better than I expected. We rolled in Thurdsday evening and were quite comfortable till we left Sunday morning. The only thing I was unhappy with was the rock I drunkenly stubbeb my toe on Friday night after Bryan, Ryan, and Mike patted me on the a$$ and sent me back to my room. Oh yea, I took their key by mistake...so, getting into my room was quite a challenge :) . I really enjoyed all the cool people and making new friends. Thanks again to David, Cody, Heidi, and all those that put this thing on!!!

Nope... found a few more. Kitty LOVED the smooth water and skiied an average of 4 mph faster than she normally does. I was actually able to achieve about 1 inch or so of air!

I just realized that *face palm. Can mods move the posts???
Thanks guys
We had an absolute blast. Love the facility with the ramp being the only complaint.
Cant wait until next year!
Oh, yes, the ramp. Had a bit of troubs Saturday. There is most def. a sweet spot on that thing.
I was not told anything about the ramp last year. The ramp won and cost me $5k for a new trailer. Well I guess it didn't do all the damage but it made it easier to convince the wife that we needed a new trailer :) Upgrade!! Now that I do have a new trailer out of the deal I am extremely careful when launching at Bethy. I wish they would fix that thing, I would even pay more to launch if they did.
Who has more pics or videos of the horse race?Quote:

Question is how do you fit a ramp when the lake is full??? I'm sure there is some way

Put a bulkhead up, pump water out and build a temporary damn until construction is done. Great winter projectQuote:

From the glass like water, the late night cops & resulting late night retrieval, meeting great people and making new friends. The only regret I had was letting David serve me fire water. I don't remember much after that :-), and I'm not sure how I was out boarding Sunday morning by 8.
We've been looking forward to next year since we got in the truck to come home.

We hope everyone had a good time! Please let us know your opinions, what you would like to be different, etc so we can maybe make some changes - if any - in the future. We know the water was a little low for the event but lets pray for more rain next year so the cut is deeper and the ramp is better.
Besides that, here is a link to my pictures - feel free to download any if you want them.

Just wondering, ho had the mojo like mine with the colors inverted?
I meant to meet more people, but just did not get around to meeting everyone.
