Calling all submariners in the PNW (Washington state area)

[Schmitty1944]

Sorry for the short notice. This coming up Saturday June 24th my RC club is hosting our Boats and Floats event at Hughes lake in Monroe WA. There is a fantastic spot for running submarines with an L shaped dock and usually good visibility all the way to the bottom. I'm usually the only one there with subs but I got permission to invite anyone who wants to join us. It's a beautiful private location. There are recovery boats available if you need it. I will be going to the lake in a couple days and will check the clarity of the water and get some pictures. This is primarily a RC flying club that also does boats, cars, tanks etc. The guys flying float/sea planes and high speed boats use the dock a little further down from where I run subs so are not a problem.

I went to the lake today to cut weeds etc. The water conditions are nice. Water is very clear. Not much vegetation in the area I normally use. I realize this was very short notice so I wasn't expecting much response . There is another opportunity to run subs here in late summer (September 9th). It really is a great spot for subs. Here are a few pics from today:








View from the tower on the beach. This is a neat and different perspective to run your sub from.

Looks fun! This would be a great place to run at.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'd like to head out there on the September 9th!

I will post an update when it gets closer. The land (and lake) belong to the boy scouts. My flying club leases part of the property where we have a huge runway, car race track and tank battleground. The scout rangers give us access to the lake when possible. In the middle of summer (now) camp is in session and they are using the lake and docks so it is not available.
