For any of you who, like me, are camping challenged in the heat, and want a roommate in a local h/motel, let me know (post preferable)

Since no one has volunteered to be your roommate and I feel the need to accept this assignment in good faith for all of my fellow brothers on the board!!!!

DBD - I guess you missed the thread in which we thrashed Tom for equally opening up a nasty little can of suggestive worms. Or do you two just thrive on stirring up cr@p????

Seriously though, if you're more interested in a h/motel than camping, let me know and once I get the final list of names of folks who are planning on attending, I'll see about pairing people up with roommates if they want one.

Glad to see that you're planning on attending though!

For those who were at the Memorial Day weekend event in Athens, they know and understand that my tent comfortablly sleeps no one!! So, it is either 'roughing it' as they say, my car, or motel city!!

And yes, I rather enjoy stirring the $#*!, it gives me something to do after not being able to post for 9 days!!!!!!!!

sounds fantastic great perfect terrific I will plan as much as poosible to be at the lake that weekend. have it on my calendar.

[texasdiverdude]

I'll be there to , and , but will probably not camp.

oK then, starfish this would be my first event too so if you want to car pool up there so we can break the ice together might not be a bad idea. Im coming from Memorial Park Area in houston.

As for my accomodations, i have a bunch of friends with places on the lake and in austin that did or still go to UT. I will more than likely be staying with on of them.

hope to get some good dives in, i dove travis a few years ago but i didnt have on a wet suit and the thermocline is no joke so i missed out on some of the deeper stuff. i think a night dive would be neat and at the dam.

The viz is about 10 feet on a good day (before classes stir up the bottom). There are a few days in the spring and fall when it gets up to 20-30 feet. My hydrologist friends tell me that it's not really a thermocline, but it feels like one. The drop is about 10 degrees and in the summer you hit the first at about 30 feet. The second at about 70.

My sister lives in West U. You going to Rice?

[bjknight64]

ok so yea, its def colder up north, i just checked the water temps at the lake its
83-84 on the surface and about 65 at 60 ft. Im from houston but both of my parents are from Cuba so i guess im a 81-85 degree warm water person.

the costs are your park entrace fee which is like 10 bucks then rentals if you need any, motels prob start at $39 and up. maybe not during the summer by the lake maybe a little more.

prob one of the most inexpensive dive trips that could be done in texas.

[TheSassyRabbit]

If I come I would need a motel.

SF-

When it gets a little closer, let me know if you will definitely be going, and I'll help get some accomodations arrangements set up (and then you can let me know if you want to split the cost of accomodations with a roommate or not). In the mean time, if you need to reach me, feel free to send an email to thesassyrabbit@singledivers.com.

Talk soon,

Platapus Man has just informed me of good news. The beloved Oasis is already begun rebuilding and is open for business.

Here is a suggestion: We have a community meal at the lake of fajitas and stuff as suggested by DrDiver, the clean up and head over to the Oasis on Saturday Night for over indulgence of ale and conversation. Before everyone breaks up for the night.

If we go as a group, we will need to give them fair warning.


makes me feel like dancing.

[TheSassyRabbit]

Very cool! Let me know if I need to bring anything.

[drdiver]

I'm on and I mean it, Extreme Monotreme.

To drink at the Oasis

With Single Divers around

Is about as good as Christmas, I'll be bound!!!

I'll be there as well! It's only a couple hours from dallas, and I will definitely be camping, Who's going to brave the outdoors with me!? By outdoors, I mean with a tent, sleeping on the ground isn't quite as appealing.
