Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
The chance of rain has been reduced to 10-20% for Saturday. I'm bringing the frogg-toggs but hopefully they don't have to be used lol.
Any requests for lunch?

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
Yeah, everyone keeps talking about how we need to do another bigger ride at Dam B but nobody ever does I'm up there a good bit. I go in the evenings after work fairly often. Rain chances have been reduced to basically nothing, shaping up to be a nice day Saturday. So far it's just us 3 slowpokes, any others? Lol

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
I'd like to do one maybe sometime before teal season this year. I'll see what dates look like for everyone this summer and try to set everything up. When I stay up there I like to go to Sandy Creek way down on the south end. Usually fewer people down there too, it's not too far of a run from any of the parks. The whole place isn't that big. I've made the run from the dam up to the Hwy 63 bridge more than once even in my Longtail... It's about a 7-8 beer ride but on a nice day it's not bad

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
Do they have cabins close by to this? If so, anyone interested in splitting a bill for Friday or Saturday night?

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
It's at normal pool right now, maybe even slightly above. J- they have a series of shelters at the same park were launching at, within walking distance actually. I think one or two of them are Enclosed and climate controlled. There's about 15 or so screened in shelters with electricity and water. I've stayed there several times. http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/martin-dies-jrCall the number on that page and ask about the Walnut Ridge Unit. That's where most of the shelters are however, there's shelters in several of the units on the lake. Cabins are pretty cheap if I recall correctly. I've stayed in a camper the past year or so that I've gone and actually stayed. I do enjoy the screened shelters when the weather is nice, tomorrow night would actually be a nice night to stay.

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
Looks to be about 80% normal pool but there's plenty of water in the woods etc.... http://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs ... steinhagenI drove across it this evening on my way to the fish hatchery. Looks good for Sat.

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
Yeah, we definitely need to make a big ride happen this year out on Dam B. We've got the SETX ride, Mud boats $ Mud Bugs, Caddo, what else as far as bigger rides? I guess we can start looking for a date after those? I wouldn't mind it being like the weekend after teal season even. Should still be plenty warm the end of September.

Re: Jan 31 Dam-B ride, all are welcome!!
Should have made the ride up dude. Had a really good time. Lots of open water even in the woods right now since its been sprayed. Cruised through some places today that you normally can't see across lol. We weren't without incident completely though. Had one stuck flat on damn near dry ground, I tried to start a logging business out of my boat and without the ProDrive ry-verse we would have one stuck that nobody else could have pulled out I also had to fix a throttle cable on the fly. No biggie though.
