Raystown

We went to some real rural Pennsylvania this weekend, complete with "You'uns" and home taverns.  We finally got the Jet Ski on the water at Raystown Lake, a 35-mile stretch of Army Corps of Engineers dammed water.  The lake has plenty of space, even with the massive amounts of boats and PWC's on it, with some beaches and coves, but beware, it is, as stated above, rural.  We had no phone or data service, had to buy our beer at the one bar in town (10 miles away).  But, we did have some of the best white pizza ever at OIP: Original Italian Pizza.
I tried to run the economics of the $150 a month payment for our jet ski over 12 months of ownership, times 12 hours of usage... which seems kind of silly until we started calculating things like boats and RV's.  We did our first towing with it and it things were pretty perfect.  So I guess we are now forced to get the wakeboard going behind it.

Gage takes on the wake.
