Interesting thing on Lake Conroe today. The wife and I were just sitting back and drifting. She looks up and points to a huge twin engine airplane that just landed on the water. Goofy me thinks it crash landed. I crank up and started towards the plane looking for anyone in the water.

It spun around and took off again. Looked to be some type of military craft. So we sat and watched it make several take-offs and landings. Pretty cool seeing a plane that size on the lake.

Yes you'll be in good company. We're bringing a lot of big boats out. Should be a blast.

Yes we saw it fly over the lake several times. My neighbor says it was a WWII amphibious craft. I don't know.

Matt, my boat is gassed up and in my driveway, I am sure the HOA is very happy. Anyway, I have a client/friend that is the manager at Back Porch on the Lake, I think I might have lunch there. Have you been there?
