Well, what cracks me up is the lady sounding like the park could do something about it.

It sucks for sure, but it can't be helped at this point.

that lady wants a refund... from a lake.

Yeah and I would not doubt they have signs up about it at the entrance. Although park personnel are not always the...most motivated they always seemed nice to me and want to make sure you have a good time.

Hope they filter that shit well before we drink it.

Yeah, this completely fucked our whole holiday weekend.

Katrina's co-worker's family rented spots to camp out on the lake and invited us to bring the boat up and camp for the weekend. Already made all the arrangements and gotten the days off work and now we get to sit around the house all weekend instead...

I heard about this this morning on the radio and immediately thought of you guys. I thought I remembered that you guys were going there for Labor Day. That sucks.

Boating is even still allowed, although enthusiasts are urged to avoid spraying themselves with the water.

Because sitting on a boat when it's 100+ and not being able to get in the water sounds like an awesome time lol

Could, but we've got season passes for Hurricane Harbor and Lake Grapevine is a mile from the house...Just looking forward to camping out with the kids and seeing friends.

Probably just put the tent up in the back yard and go out to Lake Grapevine for the day LOL

someone explain to me how algae is dangerous?

[shumpertdavid]

I live on texoma, sucks for you guys that had holiday plans, sucks for me because I can't use my back yard basically. Picture #5 (from first weblink) is where I normally launch, launched there 1 time in june and churned sand from the launch to the dock. Was on the water 2 weeks ago and didn't see anything in the water, wake boarded anywhere from Cedar Bayou to Treasure Island to Thong Island Area.
