Well when the lake get's a little lower maybe I will finally know where I parked my car.

yes

I am getting it from the same website that was previously posted on here: http://lcra.org/parks/boat_ramp_info.html

If you think its low now wait till BCRUA fires up the new pipeline they will have finished by 2010 . Its finally been approved and they start construction in october.
They will be pulling out an extra 30 million gallons a day from Lake Travis
increasing to 142 million gallons a day by a projected 2016..

On the upside I will be able to use the old Lohman bridge to drive across to 620 cutting my drive time in half.

Level was at 635.5 & boats were still using ramp. In watching them it looks like they are going over the end of the ramp and they have rocks there.

I could not beleive how few boats were out this last weekend.

I was on the water yesterday and the water is now below the right ramp at Mansfield.

Sweet - Highland Lakes is your best bet.

I'm headed to LOTO on Saturday -- and want to take my boat. But I'm afraid there's no where to pull it out -- and if I can -- and when I get back in a few day -- nowhere to get it back in. SUCKS!

according to the LCRA website Mansfield is now closed.

I'll make a call and verify for you.

Jared,Talk to Steve Webb, last time I talked to him he said Lakeway
was still working and he can get access for LTPA memebers.
I hope to be at the Poker run to but seeing as I have missed
all but one due to my motor problems I wont bank on it yet.
We used the Emerald ramp this sunday for Dougs pontoon and
it is still working though busy as heck since everyone around here is using it. From what I have been told it is an old county road that was covered when lake was filled so it is usable for quite a ways so long as dirt and silt gets cleaned off it. We pulled his big heavy 24ft pontoon (has an inboard ! ) out with a 2wd Durango suv with no problems.

If mine aint running Ill need a ride..
:)

Ran into the owner of Highland Lakes tonight and they are still launching boats. Should not be a problem and plenty of parking.

p.s. there is a party on Sometimes Island Aug 22nd; live bands, etc etc etc

Show up...pay your money at the gate and done.

Jim at Megabucks think he will have my engine done wed/thurs.
He thinks it should stay together a while now.
Cam is pretty healthy (close to a HP500 but with more lsa ) so it should sound good too. I bought some 6" riser extensions in case I get reversion. Cant believe I have only been in the water 2 days all year.Thats pathetic. Not too mention blowing couple months salary on engines.. :(
So like always it will be a last minute scramble to get her done and in the water. If not Ill give ya a holler. Is your brother bringing his boat?

MobileMercMan and I were out in his 10 meter this afternoon. Didn't see you out there.

p.s. we luanched his rig at Highland Lakes with zero issues

Fox national news had a story on had bad the lake was down this morning. That sucks......They said stolen cars are appearing, and other junk was showing up.

Yes it is low, lowest I have ever seen it. Was lower in 1963, 1964, 1951, & 1952. I think it was over a month ago they found I think 2 cars and a motorcycle. Lake still has a lots of water. Around Manfield Dam it was around 120' deep. From the full mark of 681 it is 631 now, 50' below full. The last month it has been nice with not very many boats out running around. Devil's cove is getting shallow, narrow and shorter. Will be interesting this weekend.

I am done for the season on Travis. They are moving the A, B and C docks at Emerald Point Marina out to the middle after labor day. Too much of a PIA to get on and off the lake for one or two more days. I can always hop a ride if I need to.

I was watching the news tonight and they showed how shallow it was. Sorry to here this guy's hopefully you all get some rain soon

Ill be out as long as the boat is running,
so much nicer when lake
isnt crowded...

:)

The Game Warden on Lake Conroe said Travis would be closed this weekend???? Is this true?

Not true.

I'll be there if my favorite cliff hasn't dried up
