I can't wait for the poker run the weekend of the 26th

FYI, If you go to Fireworks for the 4th by water be very careful when you leave. Everyone takes off when they are over @ 30mph and it makes for some of the scariest water I have ever experienced. The issue is visibility and the close proximity off all the boats. It is best to dodge into a cove while the traffic dies out.

Have fun!!!

Well after all the great info everybody has given me I ended up changing places today. I found a 3br/2ba condo at Lands End which I booked today and cancelled my reservation at Toadcove. Much better price and I get a full 3 bed rooms. At toad cove the rooms only had 1 king size bed and a sleeper pullout. Looks like the more relaxed lake atmosphere I am looking for. Also I will be much closer to partycove now which sounds like will be a big plus.

Now I sure hope nobody tells me Lands End sucks. From the lady I talked to today and the pictures I have seen looks like a very nice place.

We stay at a house in Porta Cima at the 14MM over the 4th. We sit at the mouth of the cove (the old party cove from back in the mid 90's) and can see the fireworks perfectly. We then just putz back to the dock so we miss all the big water. That is a great cove to wait out the traffic in if you go out by boat to see the fireworks from Land's End.

Great choice. I've stayed there a few times. The breakwall does a good job of knocking down the main channel waves around the docks. You will get a little movement but it is not too bad. Depending what building you are in, you'll have a great view.

You might be able to see them a little bit, but they are about 5 miles away by water and around a curve in the lake. The FW's are about the 13mm and Lands End is at the 19mm.

Looks like I should have a great time. I figured after a week here i will be highly tempted to be looking at property. Looks like I will be about 12 miles from partycove
