[quote ParrMark]BTW, what's the prevailing wind direction at Huntington? Totally random?[crazy][/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]YES. It does blow...from one direction or the other. And, like most lakes it will usually start out from one direction early and then change later. Not uncommon to have to kick against the wind both ways...going out and coming back. And no matter how you try to fool Mama Nature she will mess with ya.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That will be the final item in the final decision. I usually check conditions for Scofield and figure they will be close at Huntington. Generally about the same but not always.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The good news is that if you take your cart with you when you launch, and you get stuck at the wrong end of the lake, it is not a bad hike back to the vehicle from almost anywhere. Had to do that once last year.[/#0000ff]
