Don't know anyone around here.  The place has over 300 camp sites and thousands of members.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Thanks for coming up Pat & Krystal.  If you hadn't the boat might still be on the trailer.

Looks like the wife and I are going to make it down there. I get off work at 8am on Friday and we will be heading out as soon as I get home.
As of right now we are booked in at the 6 in parker.
I have a couple of questions. Where will every one be hanging out? Is it better to launch in Parker and run down river or tow down to Big river, If the latter, where to launch in Big River? Never been down there so if there is any thing else I may need to know, please let me know.
I will see You all there, Will probobly be pulling in early afternoon.....Hal

You have to launch in big river. There is no river access from Parker to big river because of the damn.

We all gather and launch at the big river park.  Day use with launch is like $18.  After a day on the water we normally go to Catfish Cantina for food then to Dumas Walker for the after party.

Sadly the local tribe raised the rates. Its now $25 for a truck and trailer per day. Its totally ridiculous. I talked to a few people on the phone about getting a group rate but just never happened. Ill try to pull some strings in the morning, but it looks grim. They got us by the nuts as its the only public ramp on that section of river.

Brad...just read this and went up to talk
To the manager of our park....I proposed a "group buy" kinda deal....20 boats over 2 days at $10/boat launch fee.  His wife (the boss) wasn't there, so I'll check
In the morning and post up.  Looks like it might be a slow weekend...plenty of
Room at our
Beach.

I'll see what I can do,

The house we rent in on blue water and I believe the park right by big river in is still 18 bucks or so... It's been 2 years so don't hold me to it, plus u can park right by the beach no new to load up the boat with all the junk.

So, where did everyone go?  Big River RV with Pat or spend the $25 at the BR park?  I'm getting ready to head down and needed to know.
