All you nerds, we have 2 days till the weekend trip.

I called Paul at Cottonwood Cove and he said that the lake looks great and that there isn’t any problems to worry about. So the weekend looks like it will be A-OK for plenty of fishing, boating, gambling, and BBQing. I asked Paul if we would be able to get to the water falls by boat this year. He said that we wouldn’t have any problem getting there unless we are drunk and get lost, haha.

Everything is ready so lets get going.

After long discussions and factoring in as much info as we could (gas prices, water levels, price, entertainment value, cabins) - we finally have some info on Nerds Unplugged 3.

Nerds Unplugged 3 will be at Lake Buchanon again - at Cottonwood Cove.

We are setting it for Friday August 24th - 27th (we have to go with these dates since availability is limited due to the water being up and everyone booking their stay).

So the plan is to go ahead and reserve two cabins for that weekend - and hope that we can fill them.  I think that we will be able to this year, however - I think that every year.  Worse case scenario we drop the second cabin a month before and go with the water front one.

Just a little FYI on the water state of Buchanan.  First of all, thanks to Buster for gettin’ info on it from Paul at Cotton Cove.  He said that Buchanan is full and that is good news.  What this means is…

This will not look like this anymore.

This will not look like this anymore either.

This would not be possible - Buster & Maab would be neck deep.

This means - good freakin’ news… when you go out back in cabin 2 to smoke a ciggie, you will be forced to check to see if any of the fishing poles are needing bait… or have any fish on them.  This means that instead of wandering off at 5AM to go “check the water level” (**cough BUSTER cough**) - you don’t have to walk a 1/4 mile.

So I say all of that to say this…

We need to start figuring out who is going.  I have been talking with all four people that made it to Nerds Unplugged 2, Benny, Buster  & Maab… and it sounds like all of us are in.  So we need to figure out who else is going.  Please chime in if you are in or out here in the comments area.

I will be listing the suggestions as they come in.

So here are a few:

Location

• Lake Brownwood
• Lake Buchanan (if the water is up)
• Possum Kingdom

Facilaties

• (Brownwood) Cabins at the State park…State Park
• (Brownwood) Tim’s RV (This would be fine if there were only about 4 of us going, crowded if more)
• (Buchanan) Cotton Wood Cove
• (PK) Bass Hollow

Dates

• I suggest that we stick with the early August dates like we have in the past. Second weekend in August is my vote.
