I was thinking that if there was wind, I'd go to Tidwell. However, with all the people heading to Galts I'll probably try to go there. I will probably go in the am, unless there is no sign of...
The Galt's Ferry Gate has been closing at 6:00 PM for the winter months. I'm unaware if they have gone to the summer schedule though. Just check the sign when you drive in.
They have sold the campground to a developer in which they will porbably pop-up some beach houses and rentals on. Indian Pass is still there if you don't mind the showers in which the floor may...
Cape San Blas camping resort, which several of us have stayed at in the past ( offering ocean front camping and cabins ) is going out of business as of April 1st. I will assume that the camp...
Well, this being my first trip to the Midwinters, all I can say is that I had a BLAST!!! I wasn't really sure if it was going to be worth driving 8 hours. But once I stepped out of my truck and...
Red Bull tastes like carbonated gatorade and has the kick of about 4-5 cups of coffee, plus a ton of vitamins. They now have a sugar-free version which doesn't taste as good but more friendlier to...

Here is what I found on the Web about water temperature and density. I seemed to remember from the school days many moons ago that at 4C water is the densest, the following confirms it.
I'd be more excited if everytime it rained it was over 37 degrees. I think the last 10 ft of Lanier has come at an average temperature of about 35. I exaggerate only slightly.

Who knows, I might try to make it there in the morning if I can get away...

Don't forget you can use the graphic/numeric forecasts
