What is everyone planning for Memorial Day Weekend?

[Bruce]

The lake we live on is full of debris from several recent flash floods and Lake Ouachita is still 5 feet above flood level. If the water does come down we are planning to take some friends for a day of island hopping on Ouachita when things slow down on the Monday. But I believe we will have to live vicariously through you guys for the rest of the holiday. So what is everyone planning?

I am planning on heavy driveway boating. A number of mods to finish up.

I'm heading up to the lake Wdenesday night to work "from home" Thursday to get an earlier start on prep work. We have several friends coming up on Friday for a four day weekend of cookouts, boating, surfing, Wakeboarding, tubing, jet ski riding, games, etc.

If the weather cooperates I hope to put in at McKinley Marina in Milwaukee on Lake Michigan, and spend the day up and down the Milwaukee and KK Rivers. Lotz of nice bars and restaurants to stop at. Strange thing I've noticed about Memorial Day weekend and Labor day weekend is this area isn't crazy overcrowded like the Inland lakes I would normally go to on holiday weekends. There's really no swimming or water sports on this trip, but the Inland lakes aren't exactly warm yet, so its ok with me!

We're taking the boat and RV to Daroga state park on the Columbia River north of Wenatchee, WA. It will be our first time on the water this year! We're going to do some wine tasting too at Tildio Winery and Rio Vista Winery.

Still torn either the lake house or the beach house. The wife wants to come up to the lake but I'm kind of pushing for the beach as someone mentioned earlier the lake will be crazy busy the ICW in Myrtle Beach won't be to terrible.

Lake Champlain exploration with the new ride that arrives Wednesday. Ive been counting down for 1.5 months. So pumped

I'll still be in Manama Bahrain supporting our fine Navy Sailors. Have a hamburger for me.

Our plans right now are to be on Texoma as usual. But as we all know it is 14 feet above normal pool and still rising and probably full of debris. I still have a room reservation and will make the call on Thursday whether we go or not. The weather forecast isn't clear for next weekend either so that is a factor as well.

 

[BigN8]

We will be on Lewisville for sure. I am not going to let the little bit of debris shorten my season. So far it hasn't been a major issue. I got a small stick stuck in the stbd jet a few weeks ago but it came out easy. We ran across the lake yesterday and had lunch at Captain Jacks with no problems. Just stand while you drive and have your head on a swivel.

Remembering the fallen, partying on the Ca Delta, grilling, and just plan ole relaxing and having a good time with my family & friends.

We usually try to avoid to local lakes on Memorial and on the 4th. All of the "once a year" boaters are out on those days and it is always crazy. However if storms are in the forecast, we are all over it because the storms usually don;t show up and everyone else bails!!!

This year, this works well in our plans. We have an out of town wedding on Memorial Weekend and will be driving to Lauderdale for Bimini on the 4th. So unfortunately no boating at all this coming weekend.
