I took some pictures of the lake from the campground and from the overlook area. This is the lake we will be fishing for the summer. The campground is huge as far as acreage but doesn't have that many campsites. There are less than 100 campsites which for us is a nice size -- we prefer this size versus the ones with over 300 sites on smaller acreage. The part of the campground along the waterfront is owned by the Corps of Engineers but the resort runs the camping area, boat docks and boat ramp for them. The other half of the resort is privately owned and is where the full hookup RV sites and rental units with full kitchens and bathrooms are located. We have a very nice site but its in a little bit of a valley so our cell phone service isn't the best. We actually get better internet service than cell phone.
We've been out on the lake one day so far and amazingly everything works -- so far-- on the boat--. The poor boat has traveled about 4,000 miles since it was last in the water and the motor started right up. The last 3 miles to the resort are gravel road with cattle guards. We got rattled good enough that a plastic connector to the hot water heater broke. It broke off inside the tank so we had to call a repair guy out to fix it. We have no fancy tools for that kind of job. Of course its 80 miles for the mobile repair guy to come so the service call fee with mileage charge was a big ouch.
We have started working -- I'm cleaning and Jim is mowing. We are very excited because we should have time to really get out fishing this week!
