There are some remote areas around the island where we can put them.
I'll have signs on them that say "Hoot Island - Private Use Only".
If that's not enough we can put them inside the U-Haul - I really don't want to dedicate a "potty nazi" for the day...
That would be a really crappy job.
pun intended im sure!!

Ya think?????

I put a general insecticide (Diazinon) over the entire island and treated the ant beds with fireant killer. I'll probably go back in a couple of weeks for a follow-up treatment.
Tax Day anyone?
FP, give me a shout when yer gonna nuke fireants again. I'm scheduled for shoulder surgery the 11th, but if able to drive when you go back, i'll help ya fight em one-handed.
To quote Bubba, "i hate them b*stards so much!"

That's Easter weekend, so we don't have any soccer games. I'm open any time Sat 4/15.
The next weekend I'm going to Houston to get the hot tub, so that's out for me...

There's 11 Oklahoma Gang for the Low Country Boil. Thanks!

Would big "PRIVATE POTTY" signs work?????? We could all take "POTTY PATROL" shifts???

I guess we can do that if it becomes a problem - that'll be our Plan B...

I'm just remembering what a laugh we got when people outside our RV offered cash, expensive cigars and even a tray of chocolate covered strawberries to trade for pottie use. Man! did we ever consume those strawberries!!!!!

no there is no need for that........2 should be fine. i dont think that many people will need to be doing #2s right?
What's the guy/girl ratio at this shingding?
Right now, 121 wristbands are spoken for; 69 girls and 52 boys from what I can tell...

Isn't that the way it usually ends up?

Wow.. y'all have one heck of an event scheduled. I priced plane tix and such before tx went on sale and just couldn't swing it... I will be there in spirit though!! I am sooo jealous..

If anyone needs the GPS coordinates for Hoot Island, they are;
32 46 39.7 N
96 45 5.1 W

The coordinates have also been added to the latest summary post at the top of this page.
Credit for this suggestion goes to manfromuncle in his Live thread from yesterday.

Phritz is wondering if we should paint something on the still or just leave it blank. We talked about "Hoot Island" or "Property of Gods Own Drunk" - any other ideas?

Here's a link with more information about the Golden Opal Paint and base coat;

I'm colorblind, so this really isn't my area of expertise.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of paint?

I think the "non-working still" should say "Hoot Island, USA" on it somewhere...

FP...did we want to suggest every one bring a couple bags of play sand each?...I think Walmart and ToysRus (or the like) has it pretty cheep...
Could be phun...
