Cowan Lake WAS: Cincy Info / Questions

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Marc_Scirocco_Québec)]

The more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense for me to go
camping as well, so you can count me in.

I am also planning to extend my trip down south a bit for 2-3 days, around
Teneesee, Kentucky, etc, then come back up. Depending on the travel plan, I
might follow south the Texas team for a day, then split, and go on my own.

I'd get my own tent.

Cheers.
