Lake Pend Oreille Fun Run?

Nice meeting you Hoodoo. We had a great time, some fun boats, lots of cool people, and Pend Orville is a great lake to explore. We only made it to one card stop then dinner. We got to Bayview, hung out there for an hour, then went to Beyond Hope for lunch. By the time we were done there it was three and the card stops closed at 4. So we hit the sandbar. Highlight of the day was definitely the ride along in the Skater, what a machine.

Arriving Sat morning for Chelan turned out to be a bad idea, the ramp was full except for a few single open spots I couldn’t get into. We never got wet. Beautiful water though, maybe the clearest freshwater I’ve ever seen. The 12% grade coming into town was interesting. Will come back someday when we can spend the weekend. Maybe do Roosevelt in Aug.
There are 7 boats from the run that are going to Roche and Rosario or we would have been at Roosevelt this August.

That sucks, long drive to get skunked and not hit the water. Chelan is a beautiful place to visit though. We were talking about hitting this one next year, will definitely have to keep the access problems in mind. We put in at 8:30 AM in Sandpoint city launch this weekend and there was about 5 boat slots left, so I am glad we left early. Have an hour later and we would have had to go somewhere else. Next year we will hopefully be a little more prepared and just rent a place up there for the weekend.
Started the day off by getting yelled at by some farmer dude for cross parking in front of the parts store for 5 minutes.
The Pend o rielle run was fun. Kind of like a series of lunch runs where everyone ties up and hangs out at each stop. We also ran out of time by hanging around places too long. I love running tight to east side heading back north, the mountains dropping into the lake are always impressive.

Yeah getting skunked was a hard pill to swallow after the drive. But I could kinda see it coming, I have zero local knowledge and the way you wind down into Chelan and Manson it feels tight. Even the launch had a fence around it taking the grassy areas out of play.

Thanks for the tips PLYGLF, weekend before the Monarch next year. I am adding it to the calendar, see how schedules shake out. We got an invite to go hand out with a crew at desert storm next year, so that is gonna be a must I think.
Edit: Also, Popcorn 50! I would still like to put together an informal fun run from Post Falls to Popcorn Island on Lake Killarney. Is there any interest is doing that on say, Sunday of Labor Day weekend (Sept 3)? Or maybe Sept. 16.
