Hole Hawg, Thank you for the post Sandy pond is one of three lakes suggested to hold a mass (state wide ) gathering of New York Ice Shanty members . The other to lakes suggested are Oneida Lake (Syracuse- Utica- Rome ,NY. ) and Lake George. I am currently waiting for member responses after Dec. 1,2008 a poll will be posted to determine the lake and possibly date for the gathering. So far the majority of members replying are alright with the gathering being held on Oneida Lake, the date of Feb.14,2009 -snow date Feb.15,2009. this is the Saturday and Sunday of Presidents holiday weekend. Go to page two of this thread for more details. One question for you or any one else am I right that Sandy Pond is Located in the Pulaski,NY. area .I can not find it on the NY. state road map I own ,hope to get out to Gander Mountain or other sporting goods store by me this weekend and purchase Sportsmans connection book for western NY. state. If you or others can post or pm me some more info. it would be greatly appreciated. This event is open to members in surrounding states and Canada ,if you are willing to make the drive. Steve
Hole Hawg, Thank you for the information I believe you meant to say Interstate 81 instead of Int.84 , I found Sandy Creek,NY. on my road map . I have a favor to ask of any members who live in the Oneida Lake Area could you please check to see if Syracuse Univ. ,Turning Stone Casino and Onondaga county coliseum have events scheduled for Feb.14-15 .This could make finding lodging difficult for people like me who will be traveling a distance, thank you . Also one question for those members who have responded to this thread, I originally stated that a poll would be posted around Nov.15 to determine the lake and date of Gathering. I revised this to a poll after Dec.1 this thread has had a little over 900 hundred views and only twenty some odd replies . So should I wait or see how to post a poll already or since the majority of replies are alright with Oneida Lake and Sat. Feb. 14 Just say this will be the location and date of a state wide gathering of NY. Ice Shanty members. I guess it is really two questions ,looking forward to your respones. Steve
not for nothing...just a thought i had drinking my beer here...but...why not pick a date and have gathers at 5 different locations (north /south/ central/east/west..) with everybody then posting the story's & pictures ?? kind of a mass NY. day of hard water antics..
yeah, simple would be easier. too complicated, and nothing will go right.
