A lot of Dam Pictures! 2015 Dam Run Article

The Dam Run is one of those events that has been going on for over a decade. It has been going on before RDP, and will likely be going on after RDP. It's a "good time" event with little to no organization, but to put it as someone did in the thread "It's amazingly organized for something that isn't organized." I am proud to say for the time being at least though that this years event was primarily organized entirely on RDP, and made up of it's members and members friends.

I first went to the Dam run 2 years ago and we took TBulgers 22 Schiada Whaler at the time. Last year I hitched a ride with Satellite Mike in his 240, and I had every intention of heading up this year either in my boat or hitching a ride in a big cruiser. To sum up the run and the scenery as I wrote in an article a few years back Campbell Carl said "I'll let my lake speak for itself." He was absolutely correct in that statement and there's no wonder why it's a national park. The lake is as amazing as it is huge for a river boater like myself. Everywhere you look the Scenery is in the 10's and it is ever changing from sandy dunes, to lava rock, to iron ore mountains.
This year I was unable to attend because one of my oldest friends in the world (I've known the guy since I was 2-3 years old) was getting married and I was in the wedding. While I wouldn't have missed his wedding for the world, I will say I found myself thinking about the Dam Run (or as I called it Damn....) the whole time I was in San Diego.

Thankfully the members of RDP didn't disappoint with photo's this year or videos! I spent a little time tonight and picked my favorites out of the very lengthy thread for those that weren't able to go to get an idea of the event itself, so that you don't have to sift through 180+ posts in the thread.

This years Dam Run consisted of an "estimated" 35 boats, out of 41-43 signed up! Which would make it one of the larger Dam runs in recent history! This year was also a little special because one of the participants (and RDP members) Vicious13 went out of his way to have commemorative shirts made for the run!
