[Purplebeast]

Nice!! Is that a rental or private?

Rental. Found it on VRBO.

I want to know too! That looks awesome and expensive. Would y'all call that a destination lake?

It's really not bad at all. Sleeps 8 (2 bedrooms, 2 queen beds in a loft upstairs). $425/night or so? We went to this lake last year on labor day and fell in love with it. And of course, saw these floating cabins all over the place. This is a must-do lake every year for us. My favorite by far. And it's amazing how dead it is. I bet we didn't see 10 other boats on the water last year (not counting what was at the marina or the houseboats that weren't moving). Plus, Fontana Dam is on the lake, which has alot of cool history. And, if you're a car guy, Tail of the Dragon is less than 10 minutes away.

Put in on the Mon and head towards Pittsburgh on Saturday (tentatively). Who know for Sunday and Monday. Maybe Cheat Lake one of the days.

Come to southern Ohio!

 

[Murf'n'surf]

Car shopping for Momma tomorrow and maybe boating on Sunday if the weather holds.

 

[njmr2fan]

@Bill D A wonderful offer, but I don't think we're making it this time...

@mark_m .... You're even farther...

 

[Bill D]

Yeah, we've scoped out that trip before too. If I'm hauling the boat 5 hours we're going to Destin!

 

[Bilmon]

Heading for the Mighty Mississippi Sat. May not be a good idea cause it's gonna be a mad house,will be wall to wall pontoon boats. I'm really starting to dislike those things

Been wanting to go there myself. Maybe next summer we can plan a JB.net weekend?

@Bilmon come up to pool 9! Not too crazy.

 

[RiverRat]

Ok, well, the mosquitoes are a little crazy.

 

[Speedling]

Trying to go down to Lake Shaffer to visit a family member. Now 8 am and it takes 2 hours. Raining as well.

Boy you're up early!!! Would if it wasn't quite so far. Can get nuts down here but it's kinda fun once in awhile, pic from last year

Was going to attempt to put in at St. Augie on Monday, but my serpentine belt in my truck just blew chunks and I'm pretty sure I need a new pulley too, so that's out.
Don't know how much you know the area, but if you're looking for a decent spot to chill in the sun and swim, Crescent Beach is on the right in an inlet just past Fort Matanzas. The inlet is usually calm, there are often dolphin hanging out and the beach is nice. The channel is shallow, stick to the center as much as you can. If you beach on the inland side, it's a wider beach and pretty much boaters only. If you beach on the ocean side, you can walk up the beach (watch the rocks) to Fort Matanzas Nat Mon park... they have decent bathrooms in the parking lot and my passengers usually appreciate the stop.
Oh... right before the big bridge in Palm Coast, put someone on the bow and have them watch the water... Last time we were coming up that way, there was some kind of pole in the water that we barely missed. It's not marked and is near the center of the channel. :S
