Buncombe has a good ramp with plenty of overnight trailer storage. The over night slips are good but some are tight and tricky to get into.

If you make it out to wood island check out our glass disposal buckets. There is a ton of broken glass on all the islands. I recommend everyone wear lake shoes. My daughter has to have service hours for middle school so we started a program to help collect broken glass. We cleared the installation of the buckets with the corp. They are also supposed to be monitoring them to see if they are successful. We installed 3 buckets last weekend. We will see if people use them.

Check out our Facebook page @ clean the beach texoma.
Chris, thank you to you and your daughter. This is a great thing. Even if people don't use them, which I bet people will, those buckets sitting there with that message will serve as a reminder to people to not leave glass. Thanks again!

I was trying to get a handle on what the actual plans were being considered. Like I said previously, we are not planning to cook, just get a bite at the Anchor Inn on Saturday evening. And if they close at 9, we will come in early enough to clean up and go eat. Clara doesn't do well in the heat, so I don't know how long or well, she will last. We have a college buddy and his wife coming out on Saturday and they will want to be dropped back at the marina around 4 to 5, so I don't know if we will go in or come back out after dropping them. What I was mainly wondering, was if we were planning to get together and visit after dinner, or if that had kind of fallen off for Saturday.

I always love a slip vs trailering every evening, especially when they are nice slips like at Buncombe. It makes the short stay so much nicer. The transient slips are larger and easier to get in than the guest slips. The 23' boat will stick out at least a foot on the guest slips. The gate locks and you have better security than other marinas we have been to.
I have no plans for Saturday. We are bringing stuff to cook for Saturday's dinner. If anyone wants, I would be more than happy to volunteer our trailer - sight unseen of course because I haven't ever been to Buncombe - for a Saturday evening get together if anyone wants. But, if Jeb is available, we might all be more comfortable at his place. I am looking forward to this trip and to see what Buncombe has to offer!

We would be very willing to hang out around the cabins after getting off the water on Saturday. I'm sure we'll make sure we are back in time to grab dinner at Buncombe if we don't do something else for dinner instead. Most of us are all in the same area so it should be pretty easy to get together to keep the good times going.

I have some bad news about the party, my celebrity guest will not be able to make an appearance this week end. She is flying to L.A. to shoot a commercial. She is really bummed out and will be up memorial weekend for sure. She told me to tell everybody Hello and wishes she could attend. Now i know everybody is wondering who this person is. I will give out more details at the social, curiosity killed the cat so this is a ploy to get everyone to attend.

Well, ya know, we do owe him a $100 tab. I think he'll loosen up with a few pitchers poured back into him :joyful:
It might take about 4 of us to hold him down! He's tougher than nails. We do owe him and V though.

Ok...the old man is already tired! Can't attend a gathering with a partially dirty boat! It's good to go and off to the store for some F'ING AVOCADOS!

Sorry the celeb thing didn't work out...guess we will just have to catch you over the holiday weekend too!:D

Mel, all you have to do is make 1 bad batch of guacamole and no one will ever want it again.
