Perhaps someone with knowledge and a bunch of free time could make some sorta map of where people are?
Or maybe at least people that feel like being bugged?
It would need to cover most of shelbyville area

@Speedling That is a great idea. It could especially be useful to the new families as they could have a door to knock on to get answers or help. Can any of you guys make a map of the area?

Lithia campground map, attached.

I don’t think the 1st post is current, though. That looks like last year’s data to me, so will take a little work to compile.

Yeah, this is the most recent map that I’ve been able to find. The map I had from last year is all different. I think I read somewhere that it showed the date updated... but I don’t remember where I read that now.

i know as soon as i hit the water i turn on my radio just for that reason.
I think it was 68 last year but hopefully we will be updated on that when closer.
I can probably have my handheld on early and late as well in the campground.
Otherwise anyone with questions the big cabin at lithiausually has knowledgeable people!
I will be at a crossroads in the campground and easily found when there as the boat parking is right next to my site as you come in.
@Speedling What radio do you carry with, I wasn't planning on carrying a radio in the boat but it might not be a bad idea?

I have a cobra 25watt built in on the boat
And i bought a handheld floating waterproof one as well. Part of my bimini prep as phones don't work so well there i guess

Arggggh! Morgan has inventory the week of Shelbyville gathering. We would only make a couple days if we attend. So... 2019 will be the next time for us.
I just saw this post.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, I'm jumping up and down and shouting NO!!! How am I supposed to surf all the time without my WEST COAST SURF CREW on call??

Here's a quick map I made. I don't know that I'm a Shelbyville Veteran yet, but this will be my fourth, and I would be more than happy for any new boaters to stop by my cabin, or find me at the ramp, or on the water, or at the West Main Party House and let me help them fit right in. (it's certainly not very hard to fit in with this group!:winkingthumbsup")

I'll work on a broader map of the greater Lithia Springs access area...

Absolutely not....... no small clips of that video or any other videos that you have need to be shown
Such a vehement denial just makes others curious! Lol I’ll have to pay better attention this year. :)

Matt, you were so, so entertaining! And don't worry, I can't recall you doing anything you should be embarrassed about!
