Crossing on Lake Gaston & RMEC Social

August 8th will be the fifth running of the annual Crossing on Lake Gaston. The goal each year is to encourage the Lake Gaston residents, family and friends to get in the water and join others in a non-motorized crossing of the lake en mass. The Crossing will occur in a protected area adjacent to the Eaton Ferry Bridge secured by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Essentially, it is a non-competitive swim of about one mile (or so!), however there are also crazy non-motorized boats. If there is interest, the RMEC could probably come up with something for those not wanting to swim!

Frank lives on Lake Gaston, and would love to host anyone from the RMEC group that wants to join in the fun. There are good biking routes plus there are some fairly good runs of varying distances. In other words, you don't have to do the swim event.

After a morning of endurance, everyone could just "hang out" at the lake: swimming, kayaking, fishing, boat-riding, etc. Kids would be welcome. We could have a late lunch cook-out (hot-dogs, hamburgers, chips, etc.)

If there is enough interest, we can all start to do some party planning. If it is only a few people it will probably be more work than it is worth to arrange the cookout, but lets give it a shot! This really could be a fun day, and it is nice of Frank to offer to host!
