I emailed the snowman about this year's event and this was his reply, thought I would share it with you guys:
Due to idiots last year, I received a nasty letter from the Corp of Engineers. That was the first time I ever had any problem after 15 years of having this event. I'll put it this way, I'm not organizing anything this year, but several friends and myself will be there camping. I will not be responsible for anyone but myself. We will be down there on the first weekend of October. The place is Plowman's Creek Park on Lake Whitney. It is very near the little town of Kopperl, about 5 miles from my house and shop. Hope you can make it down. I haven't been on Hot Boat in months. If you like, copy this email on the forums. You might pass on also that park rules will be enforced, so everyone act like they have good sense. In 15 years we have only seen a Game Warden there a couple of times. Later..............

P.S.... A lot of people stay at Indian Lodge resort which is just 3 or 4 miles from the park. They also have a boat ramp and the park can be reached from there with just a few minutes boat ride. The phone number is 254-889-3643, Tim or Barb, very nice folks and good friends of ours. I would recommend making reservations ASAP, as accommodations will go fast. We won't be cooking this year. It will be nice to see everyone again, but I'll just be down there camping.
what a shame:frown:
