Re: Obtaining Permission letters from Corps of Engineers

... P.S. As a recreational sailboater and leader of a local sailing club on Lake Grapevine, I got to deal with the predatory practices of monopoly management company of the marinas on Lake Grapevine. The Corp management liked that because they only had one vendor to deal with. When we complained to the ...

Re: Can Beto O’Rourke really beat Ted Cruz?

Our neighborhood in North Grapevine (on a peninsula on the lake, of course) is a nice quiet place and mostly "red"/conservative...or so I thought!! A few streets over I noticed an overabundance of "beta" signs and finally a Cruz sign across from them...whew!

Well, then one popped up catty-corner to me ...

Re: RVing

... across the country but we don't camp there. The Vineyards Campground on Lake Grapevine is on Corps property.

Let me clarify about State Parks. I am concerned enough about them that I want to make sure that I can carry there. Some you cannot like Lake Whitney for example. That State Park is on Corps ...

He was quick to point out (in person) that the COE is in the water management business and that everything else they do is not their primary mission. It is all pretty condescending.

Re: E-bikes: anybody have one?

... hiking/biking trails in my immediate area would be those around Grapevine Lake. It is my understanding that the legalities have to do with whether or not the bike will exceed 20 mph under its own power; because realistically, simply coasting downhill off the power on a fat-tired e-bike, you're ...
