Yep, you were the one I remember saying you were going to arrive around 3PM. I am bringing a kayak, too. Sounds good, we'll plan on paddling over together, that'll be great.

Thank you as well! My second tarp is pretty small so that would be very helpful. You guys are the best!

FizzNFrank... the weather is supposed to be so nice I doubt you'll really need the tarp unless the lake mists up at dawn.
Can't wait to see you!

It might be in the string of comments already, but don't forget there's no potable water at the campground. I think last year Ted mentioned that he drinks straight from the lake, but I seem to remember there was quite a bit of pollen on the surface, so even if you don't feel the need to filter it for bacteria, etc, at least bring a bandana to keep out the crunchy bits.

I'm bringing a water filter, same one as I used last year.

We have a water filter too. Fizzbee I packed the under quilt. It is short but should be ok for your dad. See you all soon.

FYI, my phone sucks, so I'm likely to be offline starting tomorrow around 11am (in case of any timing issues)

is the lake safe for a two person fiberglass sea kayak? i know its manmade with some trees in it. do i have to worry about hitting anything under the water in shallow spots? i also have plastic kayaks.

No, you will be fine. Clear sailing, or paddling, all the way over!

Everyone, have a wonderful time! So bummed we can't go this year!!
