Monroe, LA Wakeboarding Event

[K_E_N]

Moon Lake (a bay off of the Ouachita River, in Monroe, LA, and the original home of Louisiana Spring Fling) will once again be the location of what may become the South's largest wake-based event. I'm not directly invovled in the organization of it, but thought I would post the "official" press release for anyone who's interested.

Are you bored on the weekends? Cant find a boat to ride behind or party on? Does your dad own a 80k dollar wakeboard boat thats not weighted enough but wont let anyone else drive it? Maybe you like to party all day long.....naked. What ever floats your boat (pun intended), this is the weekend for you......

Ken, we may try to make this. any camps you know of for rent in the area?

[K_E_N]

I don't know of any camps for rent. Moon Lake Marina has a few RV hookups and welcomes people "roughing it" in tents, but no camps, cabins, nor houseboats to my knowledge.
Monroe is lacking in that sort of thing. Plenty of hotels, but that's about it in overnight accomodations. It's ashamed that the city of Monroe (and West Monroe on the "other side of the river) don't push for more waterfront development.

Hope to see you there. Quite a few Moombas in this area.
