If this thing doesn't get done by tomorrow, does that immediately mean that all the ramps are closed on Corps Of Engineers lakes? Like the very next day? Thanks for any help because I don't want to drive and then be disappointed.

This also means you can freely trespass there and launch without payment -- there will be nobody to stop you. Trust me

I don’t see how the city managed ramps (like little elm) and the various state parks (like on ray Roberts) and the private ramps (like hidden cove) will be closed. Use those. This is a problem that is not a problem.

last time the the govt shut down, I went to launch my boat at Leona park, which is not even a manned, gaurded corps of engineers park, there was a bell county sheriff parked sideways, blocking anyone from coming into the park. Under what authority the county deputies had to go blockade the federally operated boat ramp and park, is a mystery to me. Possibly it is in the laws that in absence of the federals, the counties take charge of public domains. It would be interesting to know how the law works in this situation.

Did you stop and ask him? Maybe he was just taking a nap and not actually blocking it, lol.

never disturb a resting bell county deputy, they may be having lunch. They are the biggest organization of donut cops you will ever see. There must be no physical standards because ive seen several that are so fat, they shine. I dont think half of them could engage in a footchase, heck some cant hardly get out of thier cars.
