This is quite concerning to me. Is anybody giving thought to changing the venue?

No. What for? I'll bring life vests if you think I need to.

Lake Marble Falls was already back to normal levels last night so no worries.

We also won't be in a 928 this year. Both have issues at the moment, and I didn't feel like fixing them in the heat, then it started raining last month, and didn't stop.

So I am kicking around bringing the party trailer down so we have a home base to make some midnight Chili and Queso. .

This may be the first 3rd Coast where more daily drivers are driven than 928's. Sorta amusing.

You could drive one of mine if you want, Mike. It would be quite a downgrade in HP from your turbo car, though.

Drove through Marble Falls on the way back from Kerrville yesterday. Water level looked "normal" when I passed the hotel.

Current plans are to leave the ATL Halloween morning and get to Kilgore, TX to visit friends early evening. Will finish up drive to Marble Falls Thursday and be well rested when everyone rolls in Friday! Tried to get the GT ready, while it runs well, it's not ready for an almost 1,000 Mile road trip just yet. See everyone in a couple weeks.
