First off, there's 8 lanes, but most only seem comfortable using 4. They need to put a traffic director out there full time. Nothing like waiting in line and seeing 4-5 lanes constantly open, but the dumba--ses up there waiting for their lane.
Then yesterday, saw a dude almost kill his son who was fishing off the back of his Yamaha while the Dad was trying to trailer the boat :jawdrop: . The Dad got all sideways, and hit the throttle (not good move or right thing) and tosses son in, then backs up and almost pins him to the dock. Fortunately, it was one of those double jets. The son holds on, climbs back on and almost gets tossed again after the Dad slams the sticks again, while getting sideways on the trailer. Un-frickin-believable. Were's an LEO when you need him. They need someone out there monitoring the knuckleheads.
Don't even get me started on the overweight Cholo/PWC thing. The stretch of lake across from Telephone cove to the NV side should just be a no wake area. I've had to almost stop a few times to avoid PWCs going straight across in front of all the traffic! Totally oblivious. Someone should splain to them that boat v. PWC = they lose.
Other than that, it was a great Father's Day w/e out there. If you stay at the River Palms, make sure you stay in the tower. Much better than the lower south rooms.
Ya, that place blows. Last time I was there peeps are tieing up on the courtesey dock on both sides so close to the ramp that they are blocking two lanesI asked them to move their boat back and they just look at me like I'm a dick:sqeyes: Major cluster f.uck there.
KL can be quite entertaining at times but not like site 6....

I would not want to launch/retrieve daily at KL. If I was I would maybe head up to CW. The other option is to just launch before 7A and retrieve by 3P or after 9P. Just my take.
But you don't have people sitting in lawn chairs laughing at you:idea:
.............. If you get on the lake before 9am and off by 3pm, it's not so bad
............... From the mobile home estate entrance to the ramp is about a half hour wait to launch/retrieve

.............................The girls they hire to direct traffic are horrible............they don't know what they are doing:jawdrop:
Get a slip

about 30-45 minutes...depends on how fast you drive
Much better choice, cheaper and easier - I'd go for it, it's well worth the drive
