CrappieHead thanked you for this post
I would recall them. The boat dock is closed. they gave us a refund for tonight at the floating motel and 2 nights for the boat space. I was advised to take my boat out last night so that it why I got the second night refund plus I was willing to take a credit rather than a cash refund.
The dock was closing noon today as the water was going to be over the parking lot and no more floating walk ramps. Is what I heard.

Tell every one hi, but for health reasons and the closing of the boat dock I drove home today. I enjoyed meeting every one new and old members.
