Well I don't have a boat, but I could drag you all back up the boat ramp when you get stuck.

This could be something I could make it out to, depending on the date.

If I drive 14 hours and 800 miles I am not camping. The Big Cedar Lodge looks more of my style.

Table Rock is barely wide enough for one boat to pass her at a time and obey the 50 foot law especially since she runs down the middle of the lake and I wont overtake a boat on it's Starboard, especially not a ship that size.

I'm not camping either. I'm going to stay at Twin Island Resort, you might want to look into it also. It doesn't offer as much as Big Cedar, it's at least a 1/3 of the price, with kitchens in the rooms, and Big Cedar is only a 5 min boat ride away....

And Justin, BRING THE GIRLS WITH YOU!! I'm going to try and bring at least one for me

Matt, I've only seen that thing out on the lake once...

Hmm..well, I'm sure I've seen it more than once, but we're usually just going flying past it. And you said Pomme is wider? Wow..what part of the lake are you usually on?

Ussually put in at P2 and tube, kneeboard, etc from the Dam to P6 and back and swim at the beach there. Then if we just want ot cruise we cruise rom P2 - P10 then back and then down to L10 and back to P2.

Sometimes we'll put in at L10 if we camp at the free side and run the 10 miles up to the dam, circle the island then back.

Edited to add:
I dont go to Table except for work, then we grab a boat from big cedar and "water Test" from big cedar to the arkansas line and back. I dont know the water markers as well there so don't know what they are.

Dang it, I'm too far north for this too like Balog. This does look fun though!

10 hours is a bit too far a drive for me.
