Windy Point

[George Monnat Jr]

Anyone want to dive with me at Windy Point this weekend? There are two relatively new boat wrecks that the park owner knows nothing about and reportedly have some information scuffed out - like they're dumps for insurance fraud. My wife and others have looked at them, but I still need to get over there.

I would, except I messed up my elbow the other day. That, plus the forecast and football is probably gonna mean a lot of couch lounging this weekend.

I hope you get better soon. I hear you on the football. I'm scared to watch TCU play UT.

There's always next weekend!

I hear you. I actually just got some free seats for the game tomorrow on the lower 40 yard line, so I'll be praying for good weather and no stupid mistakes.

It really happened! Now I wish I'd gone. I will keep the invitation open for WPP Lake Travis if anyone wants to dive on a weekend. Just respond here or PM me.

I swung by WPP today and talked to Richard. This is what it looks like now.

He has no electricity or running water, and his septic system is underwater. Also, the road to WPP is closed. With that, I don't think I'll be diving there this weekend. He said he's gotten his stuff above water and everyone's safe, so that's a relief.

Another reason to forego diving in the Highland Lakes for a while,

If the treatment plants are unable to deliver safe water, I wouldn't be diving in the untreated water.

Very happy to hear he could save the big stuff. He will still have a ton of work ahead.

I'm pretty sure you are always diving in "untreated" lake water. The water doesn't get treated till it goes from the lakes to the treatment plants.
