I'm working so it's hard to research. Can anyone confirm:
Original camp site is still open? Is there camping closer to Twin Coves? Anyone know if we can change reservations/location? Murrell Park is open. The campgrounds are still camp-able(sp??). I encourage those who are camping to still do so, because I believe kayakers hold most of the campsites. Twin Coves does not allow overnight camping. It's a short paddle from Hippie Point to our new location.

I will also mention that the boat ramp at Twin Coves is also closed, but the parking around it remains open, so that gives even more room. A couple of photos from this morning. Twin Coves boat ramp looking at Hippie Point:

Thanks for the map, that is exactly what I needed. To me it doesn't matter where we are, I will be there. Thanks for all the updates to make us folks that don't adapt well to change comfortable

I am heading out in about 15-20 mins, I should be down at Murrell Park around 1-1:30 pm this afternoon. I will be on the look out for anybody camping to help encourage you to get out on the water and get some fishing in today  . Thankfully the change to the spot is not that big of a deal, it will be a fast paddle from the campsites over to the new spot, so that should not be to much of a inconvenience anybody.

I just called... camping at murrell is ok. boat ramp closed. We can launch from our camp sites and paddle over... ranger Hargrove said we were good as long as we stay away from the ramp. Thanks for the info. I'm good for a paddle to Twin Coves. Just want to make sure I can park, and camp at the original spot.
 like the man says...if you're swimming in the ocean and get bitten by a shark, its not a shark attack. You're in THEIR neighborhood. If you're at home in your shower, turn around and a shark is in there with you...THAT'S a shark attack

Yes! As we have mentioned the camp sites are OPEN at Murrell Park. Everyone that made reservations should continue with there plans IMO. According to all the post & Murrell Park staff we have the camping areas mostly to ourselves. There will be lots of hanging out there as well as Today - Sunday. If you are camping at Murrel park you will still be in good company

TMS Race weekend in progress
Please remember that the races are going on this weekend @ Texas Motor Speedway, and traffic is sure to be troublesome around the I35W and 114 area, which is just a little west of Flower Mound. Friday evenings and Saturday mornings seem to have the most activity. So be careful out there on I35. Oh - and *don't* try to go to that Walmart in Roanoke this weekend - it's over the top craziness!

I'm excited. Big thanks to everyone who put in all the work to set this up, and keep us updated. I'll be heading out around 1300.
