Then you'll see a true Southern Destination Venue. <br /><br />The State has missed an opportunity for decades to turn this reservoir into a people-pleasing money maker. Instead of perpetually farting around with rule-making, restricting access and pissing people off, the right people in charge could have really made something of this gigantic asset.

It was rather pleasant, with bleachers, a beer vendor, and a crawfish trailer, and only cost $5 per carload. The Reservoir is really endeavoring to become more than just a fishing and skiing lake.<br /><br /><a href="http://barnettreservoirfoundation.org/events/sunset-concert-series-at-the-rez-chris-gill" rel="nofollow">Next one is in two weeks on May 4</a>. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-61852854061723936912017-04-21T08:09:45.952-05:002017-04-21T08:09:45.952-05:006:00 - "If it takes you 10 minutes to back a ...6:00 - "If it takes you 10 minutes to back a boat trailer down a ramp - it's time to turn in your man card."<br /><br />Amen.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928963056168874465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-28550744905248189492017-04-21T08:08:22.067-05:002017-04-21T08:08:22.067-05:00I can't imagine why there is a need for a &quo...I can't imagine why there is a need for a "launch" for kayaks. I've never kayaked, but have been canoeing for over 40 years, including in the upper Rez above 43, and have never once used a "launch" or ramp, even when hauling duck decoys, dog, guns and gear. Just put it in the water and get in. All you need is a relatively open creek bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-89625639472749350832017-04-20T18:00:40.268-05:002017-04-20T18:00:40.268-05:00If it takes you 10 minutes to back a boat trailer ...If it takes you 10 minutes to back a boat trailer down a ramp - it's time to turn in your man card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-10370308688156352712017-04-20T15:34:10.758-05:002017-04-20T15:34:10.758-05:00Hopefully Fannie Fondren has a plan to keep her he...Hopefully Fannie Fondren has a plan to keep her hemp socks dry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-7101615315546813702017-04-20T12:13:36.161-05:002017-04-20T12:13:36.161-05:00I like how the areas around the Rez are becoming f...I like how the areas around the Rez are becoming friendlier to alternative forms of recreation.

And I have been at the boat ramps watching other people get impatient when someone takes more than 10 minutes to back in, launch their boat and pull away. So I can understand why 10:30 would want another kayak launch.<br /><br />Bravo to PRVWSD on the improvements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-50085683171024004782017-04-20T10:30:16.070-05:002017-04-20T10:30:16.070-05:00I wish they would put one close to the Hwy43/ Tomm...I wish they would put one close to the Hwy43/ Tommy's Trading Post ramp. I understand they have just as much right to be there, and I have no problem with kayaks, but it is frustrating when Mr. Bobby Belhaven pulls up cross ways of a boat ramp in his Prius and takes 20-30 mins to get it situated and out of the way.
