hitting gtown this saturday
Aug 29th, 2013 at 8:49pm
 
so April has Saturday off this weekend so we have decided to take the pontoon boat down to my parents.  well while I was thinking about it I had a great idea.  we are meeting my parents, brother and anyone else that wants to come down and going to jim hogg park to put the boat in.  with gtown being almost 20 foot low I hope it will not be a pain putting it in the pontoon in.  then it is off to my parents house.  my parents went ahead and rented a camping space and are bring their camper so my kids will be probably staying behind as April probably has to work on sunday.

That should be great! Georgetown has a nice deep steep ramp, you should have no problems.

that's why I have always liked Georgetown.  we have also decided to take the suburban tomorrow so this will be our first trip in it since we bought it.  on top of that is that the suburban does not have a receiver hitch so I have to use the bumper.  I will get a receiver hitch for it at some time.  hoping for a safe trip and me and april are coming back on Saturday because she has to work on sunday.  the kids are staying    Cool

I did not take any yesterday as I was swimming most of the day with my kids.  plus that all I had was my cell phone and I did not want to get it wet.  but below is a link to a bunch of pictures I took from overlook park.  the lake is wide and deep.  it has always been a good lake to ski, tube, and wakeboard.  it also is a great spot to camp.  my favorite park is jim hogg park.  the main circle still have water access (site 30-50 even numbers).  it is a quick run from the dam to the river channel.
