Later this morning I will officially be in Pod 11. Faxing the signed contract and credit card info by noon today.

A big thanks goes out to @Bruce for giving us a heads up on this and to @txav8r for scouting it out yesterday. Seeing the pictures on here sold the place. Looks great! Can't wait!

I just heard back from @farrelltravis , he has been swamped since we saw him at Texoma and hasn't been on the board much. Were giving him a pass on that one, but were missing you bro! The good news is that he and his crew are down for the east cottage!

I have found a few interesting pictures and videos. This video is a walk through several places in Oklahoma but the second one shown is the owner of LMFC, James Thompson talking about them. I am not sure if this link works but what I copied.

Here are some pics I found...

The lake is just a short distance from Ardmore, Okla and the restaurants and quaint shops and B&B's it has to offer. And Marietta is just south a few miles as well. So even if you have a phobia to sleeping over water, there are other options where you can stay on land, and then join us with your boat in the daytime! This is so close to the metroplex and Oklahoma cities, we should have 50 families this June!

It is a little pricy Jeb, I have no idea where we would park in relation to everyone else, and as posted early in the thread, we can't bring guests down to the cabins if they are not listed on the rental agreement. So that kind of leaves out staying in an RV place anywhere, and then coming to evening activities. So I am guessing we are content to keep it. But I wish we could stay next to the lake and boat in the bus!

Mel, you need to add floats to the bus!
While I don't think floating a 31,000 pound bus in a stable condition would be easy, don't think for a minute, that I haven't waisted time thinking about a floating pod of some sort, complete with genset/ac/and more! lol The bus is more like a very nice condo than a bus, dang, it is really nice. Even the basement bays are very nice with lighting and other conveniences. We don't have a clue what to put in them, besides a ladder, some chairs, and the need for some kind of grill...we have propane hookup right at the patio side of the bus...just need the grill and a glass of wine! Whatever is going on it will come out of the fridge inside! No need for a fridge mod!
