Doogievlg is on it. Just be careful out there. Check the areas you are climbing over for shallow rocks. The water is still up a bit. There is also some taller stuff up Craig's Creek, but the stretch between Grove Marina and Holly Bay Marina will keep ya busy for awhile.

Re: Laurel Lake Don't bother. Due to record breaking rainfall all the good stuff is under water. Typically everything will be underwater from around April to July, but this year is a different story.

If you're looking for DWS drive on down to Laurel Lake. Gather a crew, rent a pontoon and explore the rock between Grove Marina and Holly Bay. Tons of great stuff. Plus the water is currently pretty low so the climbing is even taller.

No kidd'n bcombs. Wouldn't want to show that you're proud of your daughter for her accomplishments. Being proud is a smile, a great job, a high five, a hug. I know all about them, I give them to my son all the time. I hear you. Different strokes I guess. My reactions to my daughter are pretty emoti...
