L&M Fly-In News

Lake: Austin
Dates: 5/15-5/22/2010
Group: Bufton
Report: This is our 3rd time with L & M, another great time. Cabin, boats, and equipment all 1st class. Our cabin had a Honda Generator with a coffee pot, microwave, toaster, electric fridge, ceiling fan all worked very well. (Note from L & M on this report, Austin is our only cabin set up with those little extras as we are expirmenting a new cabin system (run off generator) and may in the future add this system to other lakes if it works out well and get more good reports of people liking it).
