This may be early - TX or OK campout

[Gravity08]

Me and my ole lady are already starting to plan for the summer. We are looking for some lakes in OK or tx for memorial day, the 4th, and labor day. We are kinda board with possium kindom. Any suggestions?

[cmtaylor777]

We were already doing the same. My wife has only been in Texas for 2 years and this is the first year we have had a boat. We were looking into PK but everything is already booked. I lived on Lake Ray Hubbard for most of my life and we spent most of our holidays there. Now we are in McKinney and we have a boat again and all of the sudden we are clueless to where to go. I have no idea where to go North of Dallas. I'm not up on any of these lakes and I would love some advise. Especially for the holidays.

[ScottnAz]

Is there a Texas Style Supra reunion in the works?

[Gravity08]

That would be sweet. I'd like to put a face with members. Depending on the place I know several lakes that have great camping accomodations. Last year at pk we camped from tuesday to Sunday. Lewisville has great party cove. We've only been there twice.

[cmtaylor777]

I'm down. It would be nice to get a group together every so often.

[Okie Boarder]

I'd be up for it too. Maybe we could incorporate some of the OK folks. Texoma?

As far as lakes to consider, in OK you could hit Texoma, Tenkiller, Eufaula, or even Skiatook. There's some other's too. All of them have some nice facilities to consider and would be nice lakes to spend some time on.

Start planning those trips and lining up accomodations. Things book up early for holidays.

[michael hunter]

Clinton Lake IL. is a nuke power lake water temp is 80 degrees at the discharge.
I am waiting for a high 60 plus day to kick off the season. Its 135 miles one way but well worth it for warm water.

[dusty2221]

Texoma is where we call home. With that said, you def. arent looking to early, as most of the "good" spots are already booked. I've had mine bokoed since January, and I still was to late on getting my favorite camp spot. We spend alot of camptime at Platter Flats on Texoma. It's on the Oklahoma side, but not to far in. Here's a snap shot of the overall view of platter, I circled the spots we call good. Out of those 5 in the middle, we have the top one. My favorite are the 2 next to us. Those 5 sites, as well as the 2 across the cove, allow you to pull the boat up, and leave it anchored during the day and it is 100% in site and out of any from of rough water. It's soo nice to be able to pull up, anchor, have some lunch and head out again. The two on the far left allow this also, but the cove is not as protected from the open water. The 5 in the middle are B4, B5, B6, B8, the two on the right are A42 and A43 and the two on the far left are B19 and B20. With that said, If you guys want to join on Memorial day and any of the spots on the B-side are open, you will be more than welcome to anchor next to me since will will be in site of the boats. My group hase B6 and B8, and some other friends have the two on the far left. Hopefully this post helps.

[dusty2221]

After posting this, I went and check to see what is open for Memorial day, and B2 and B7 are still open. These sites are directly across from us and you would be able to anchor and see your boat from camp. Just FYI. Thats for Arriving Thursday 27th and leaving by 3 on Sunday!

Now get on Recreation.gov and get those sites booked boys!!

[Gravity08]

I'll check with my girl today. New lake would be great. What kind of accodations do they have there?

I know a lake that everyone that is close should come to for a get together. Amon g Carter in Bowie tx. Camping. Cliffs on both sides of the main channel. Wind dosnt matter unless it is out of the east or west. The second part of the lake is deep and a great place to tie up and swim. On a normal weekend you don't have to fight for water.

[myturndad]

lake murray is a very nice lake with clear water. it is located just south of ardmore.

a little bit more of a drive but worth it is tenkiller.

[cmtaylor777]

I'm going to try to grab one of those spots across from Dusty. Sounds like a good chance to get people in the same place for some introductions.

[dusty2221]

we are b8, so b7 is directly across the rd. All the plots I circled are set up for "back in" and have a 30 amp power supple and waterhose hookup

[Gravity08]

B7 is ours. I reserved for 6 but it will prob be 2. If anyone wants to split cost they can set tent up at our spot.

[cmtaylor777]

Gravity

I may be down for that. I need to see how many people we have.

[Gravity08]

Lake Murry is also on my list this summer. Ive got friends that go there all the time to ride 4 wheelers.

[cmtaylor777]

I'm Going to grab the b2 spot. That way we will have the entire area and enough room for the truck.

[dusty2221]

Nice, out of all those spots on the B side, B2, B6, B7, B8, and B19, and I think B20 are all people I know....should be a blast.

I wish I hadn't had my dates jacked up back in January when I reserved..B5 is where it's at...that will teach me to read the damn calendar.

[jet]

hey guys..my wife and I are going and try to make this trip with yall. Anybody on facebook? See me at: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1159385062926#!/profile.php?id=1556382128

[dusty2221]

Sounds good Jet.
Here is my wife and my Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1556382128#!/profile.php?id=1387119432

[jet]

just talked with the wife, were in!! Jet

[Gravity08]

Anyone else in North Texas or Ok want to join in?

[Matt Laird]

Do they have any RV spots close? My girl is more of a camperer than a tent camper... If im off i'll make the trip...

[Gravity08]

I beleive the spots that we have are rv ready. we have electric and water. I bet we could find a spot to park the truck and trailer else where if we cant all park at the site.

[Matt Laird]

the last spot is b22 across the street from yall... Im gonna book it right now... Someone will just have to keep an eye on my boat for me..

[Gravity08]

Not a problem. Depending on the layout I may load the boat every night. Last year at pk I beached it on a nice area (walked it up on a sandy area).

[Matt Laird]

Its not gonna work, The spot is only capable for a 30' camper... Ill see if the woman would tent camp but i cant be too sure...

[Gravity08]

Matt, you got a sweet rig. When I sell my flat bed I may end up with some semi wheels. Ive wanted them forever.

[Matt Laird]

ok guys Look for me thursday in site B22 Ill be there with bells on....

[Matt Laird]

before dropping the 6-8grand on them ill let you drive my truck... They track bad... But they look so good im not takin them off..

[Gravity08]

I know a guy that sells the classics already milled for 200 a wheel. All I would need is the adaptors.

[Matt Laird]

Not to step all over this thread

Thats a great price, dont forget you will only be able to go with a 36 steer or 37-40" traction tire. I went with the 37 & only had to do a 2.5" leveling kit... Make sure they are aluminum.. the tires are heavy enough... Unless you get the american force 22" or 24" then you can run any 22 or 24" tire... 22.5" is limited to 3 different sizes right now...
Wish you luck...

[Gravity08]

Theyd be 22s. Id probably not be able to run as agressive as tire. If I sell the bed the truck may get a 6" lift so i could run 24s with 37s on it.

[dusty2221]

Hey Matt, I wouldn't worry about the 30 length. We are in a 31 ft and have never had an issue. You will most likely just have to unhook the truck and park it in a diff spot.

We will have no problem watching this boat. Hell, I figured we would all end up shootin the shit at one spot all weekend anyways. I'll volunteer the spot! Our camper has the exterior speakers so er can have tunes the while time

[Matt Laird]

Dusty I already told them It was gonna be a tent on the reservations... You think they will flip out if I show up with a camper? Also I will have 2 trucks... one hooked to the boat & 1 to the camper..

I got a full liquor cabinet in the RV...

[GravityQueen]

Sounds like a PARTY!!

[Gravity08]

Dang it... I didnt see that my girl was logged in. That was really me.

[Matt Laird]

Gravity,
the week end after july 4th they will be having Christmas in July up here at Foss lake about 2hr north of yall... Heck of a party... Add that to your list...

[Gravity08]

Lot closer than Brostock. As much as I would like to go.

[dusty2221]

I don't imagine they would have an issue. I mean hell, the spot is reserved wither way...they are getting paid! If you've got a camper, youd be crazy not to bring it! We will have two trucks two, we will figure out all the parking when we get there I guess. The boat ramp is in plain sight of our spot to, and it's limit to campers only, zero day use allowed, so worst case we can jsut leave the trucks and boat trailers at the ramp. You could throw a rock from our spot and hit them.

[dusty2221]

Lol, and one more thing to all you 24 footers, you need to park those yachts out of sight of mine! I'm still in proud new owner mode and I don't want those cruise ships casting shadows on me!

lol :)

[Gravity08]

Don't hate... Appreciate. I'm just lucky to have a good job.

[dusty2221]

LOL, I taught my 3yo little girl to say "don't hate" last night. it takes on a whole new meaing when a 3yo puts you down!

[Matt Laird]

Cool, Ill call tommorow & see if I can get it changed either way... Dont wanna pull all the way down and have some problems with the bacon..

Dusty dont worry bro I'm gonna park my yacht and ride with you... save some of that of that big boat gas... haha Bet I can burn 60gal a day... What you burn bout 25-30? Mine is more of beach & party cove boat...

You guys have a good # of how many people who will be comming? Ill have 5 with me... including my 7yr daughter...

[Gravity08]

2 to 5 not sure really. Nobody can give an answer.

[dusty2221]

In my camper, we will 5, which includes my 3yo daughter.

[Matt Laird]

Just got off the horn with The Gate @ Platter Flatts, They changed my reservations to a camper instead of a tent & told me the extra parking & boat trailer parking will be 1st come 1st serve..

Dusty,
Just thinking, How far is it from the closest camp site to where we can beach the boats? I'm gonna need to charge my batterys atleast once a day.. To keep from rafting... Either reload every night or run a cord...

[dusty2221]

Hey Matt-
The red line I added is where the boats can stay. From that red line to our camp spots, is like 100 ft or so, depending on the lake level. There is zero sand whatsoever right there, its all grass. And the "mud" on the shore line is the kind that sucks your foot it and turns it into a clay mud ball! I've beached the old boat there once, but hated it. Now, I pull in and turn the boat facing the other shoreline and tie a line to the shore from the back of the boat. You will need a pretty long cord if you are planning on running one from camp to the boat!

Hopefully all that makes sense.

[87SunSportMikeyD]

damnit i wanna come! stupiid mn

[Mani]

I normally hit Lake Lewisville, since it's 20 minutes away and has very little timbered up areas. It's a decent size, has a great "alley" of sorts on the east of the lake for the wakeboarders, and a party cove on the west side of the lake. I will say though, it gets very packed on labor day, memorial day, and 4th of July. More so than some of the other nearby lakes.

[Gravity08]

After mem day well start a new thread for the 4th.

[jet]

that sounds great..Jet

[87SunSportMikeyD]

LOL want me to edit the thread name to "Texas camp wknd - This may be early..."

[Gravity08]

Texas boys know how to do it!

[dusty2221]

Ha, It's all or nothing with us! Platter is gonna think a Supra dealership dropped all their boats off in the cove!

[cmtaylor777]

Damn it boys!!! I can't wait. I think I will have 6 with me.

[Okie Boarder]

Anyone else in North Texas or Ok want to join in?

When are y'all doing this again?

[cmtaylor777]

Memorial day weekend. Thursday to Monday.

[Okie Boarder]

Ahhh, OK. Not sure we'll make that one. Maybe we can make the next one. I definitely would like to make one and meet y'all.

[cmtaylor777]

Looks like things may be stirring up for the 4th as well.

[Okie Boarder]

We'll see how things are going at that point. We're planning to move in July, so we may not be able to make that either :(

[Matt Laird]

I'm out on the 4th also... We have a big party @ Foss lake the following week... "Xmas in July" If anyone is close to Clinton OK its small & murky but its one hell of a good time...

[GravityQueen]

Hey check out the nice camper Gravity brought for Memorial weekend!!!

[Matt Laird]

Queen, how do you propose we do such?

[dusty2221]

Ah, I saw the camper last night but my phone wasn't letting me comment. Looks like you guys are bringing the noise!!

[jet]

Wheres the picture??

[Gravity08]

Where did it go? I saw it last night.

[KG's Supra24]

So is Bull Shoals, brostock event, too far for all the Texas and Oklahoma peeps that are looking for a reunion or to meet one another? Looks to be a good time.

I didn't see a pic last night or today.

[Matt Laird]

Gravity, what did you buy? You can give is some details while your woman does the hudini and makes the pictures show back up...

[Gravity08]

I would love to go but the issue is work. We will takeoff for a week for the 4th. I'm not realsure if we bothcould pull a 2 week vcation. I think we should do somthing another weekend.

[dusty2221]

That's out issue also. We have a week already taken of in the middle of June and another on the middle of July.

[dusty2221]

Also, fwiw, we already have labor day spots booked at platter also. We booked spot b5 for sept 3 and 4 and our friends gave b3 and b4 the 3 4 & 5 if anyone wants to join grab the spot next to us. It will go fast, if it's still even open

[Matt Laird]

I was thinking PK or Tenkiller for Labor day... We are trying to hit a few different lakes this year.. We are contemplating the purchase of a lake house in the next year or two. Want to be sure what lake we like best...

[Gravity08]

She got it up now!!!

[cmtaylor777]

Thats pretty nice Gravity. Think I may stick with the tent though.

[Matt Laird]

You have room for 3 more? We dont take up much room... Shacking up in the semi Log cabin on the lake would be sweet...

[Gravity08]

GQ found that last night on peopleofwalmart.com. Y'all will get a kick of some of the tards on there...

[Matt Laird]

Anyone headed to Texoma Surf?

[Gravity08]

Ill bring my boards with us. Or am I missing what you are asking?

[Matt Laird]

I just ordered a Ronix Board, I need someone to show me how to get up & weight the boat... Thats good you have the same size boat as I do...

[Gravity08]

We usually go surfing at night when all the other people are off the water. Nice end to the day. There has been some days the wind caused us to surf. I can't wait to get my 1100 in the back corner.

[dusty2221]

Since I broke my femur boarding has been painful after short periods, which is why we got into surfing. You can count on us to surf anytime. And gravity, I'm anxious to ride behind yours with that 1100!

[Matt Laird]

Gravity You ever get the fly high surf bags in?

[Gravity08]

Not yet. I'm going to call them this afternoon.

[dickboxers]

The only lake i really go on is Lake Somerville. I think its about 30 mins south of College Station. I live south of Houston, and the rivers around here are generally alot calmer. The state park at somerville is nice. There are some decent coves to rip it up in, and some nice places to anchor up so we chill in the water. I like it.

[Matt Laird]

Ya, I got an email that said will ship within the week for 2 blue 1100's, thats been over a week ago... Any luck on the alternator?

[GravityQueen]

I'll call them tomorrow. I just got back in from taking my windows to Dusty. Im going to cut the bushing off with a small air saw. Then I will find a way to re space the alternator.

[Gravity08]

Last one was from me. I need to start checking before I post.

[jet]

Dusty..your femur, OUCH! We board 1st while the water is good and we get tired then we breakout the margarita machine and SURF!

Matt..you need to drop that grocery store quarter boat ride picture and avatar your Supra. Man that boat is sweet and diff! nice man..nice. jet

[sybrmike]

Hey DickBoxer,

I spend a lot of time at Sommerville as well. Not the prettiest lake, but close and not too crowded. Mostly the South shore (Rocky & Peach Creek areas), but always chasing the windward shores.

[dusty2221]

Agreed, that wrap is nuts!

[Matt Laird]

All right guys as soon as I get a good pic on some water I'll change it... Sitting in the barn just doesnt do it justice...

[jet]

Hey Matt, check my new baby out. the bindings are the shit! Jet

[Matt Laird]

Yes sir, That baby is sweet... I tryed to order some new reflecto bindings... Cant find them in my size, they only made 65 pair in size 13-14... Guess i screwed the pooch... Should of ordered em sooner...

[Gravity08]

All right guys as soon as I get a good pic on some water I'll change it... Sitting in the barn just doesnt do it justice...

I like the baby boat ride. It's definately different. I remember begging to ride them when I was a kid.

[dusty2221]

I just got ash the ronix rise closed toes. I'm jealous as a mofo. I'm trying to get her to order the jet 132 for herself and the slingshot recoil fir myself with some ronix one bindings

[Gravity08]

I want the s4 liquid force fly series. But stereo comes first.

[Gravity08]

As I was welding this afternoon I counted the speakers that could all be playing. Never heard that many at once in person.

Pro 80s 8
pro 485 2
+ all in boat speakers

[Matt Laird]

I'm still riding an 09 Ronix Ibex 144 with Closed toe Hyperlight Bindings

Check out the new addition... Hopfully I can figure out how to use it this year...

[Matt Laird]

Gravity,
I need to figure out where to get cables long enough for a boat link...
any clue?

[Gravity08]

Gravity,

When I get my 420 I stalled I'll have one aux out on the driver side and I can make another aux out on the pass side. I also have one phono Jack that is about 15 to 20 ft long. That will take care of one boat. I may have another one laying arround. I'll look.

[Matt Laird]

Ifound A good deal on 25ft 3.5mm cables... I ordered 3 jic someone else needed one.. also a splitter & rca/3.5 mm
