New Drinking Guidlines

I'm sorry for some of the confusion on a few topics. A new development about consumption of alcohol. As I mentioned in my previous blogs, I stated that you could only drink alcohol indoors while at Inks Lake(your tent,rv,or cabin). This also applies to Longhorn Caverns. Originally I said you could not drink in the cave. I was trying to protect the interior of the cave from possible carelessness with drinks. As it turns out, the park superintendent has said we can ONLY drink in the cave and NOT in the outdoor areas. It goes back to the public consumption of alcohol concept. While this law doesn't seem to favor the protection of the cave, it is nevertheless the law and we must obey it. Now the alcohol checkin bar will be moved into the cave to obey this law. Remember that you can ONLY drink in the cave and NOT outside the cave. Look for the recycling stations that should be about every 150 feet in the cave. DO NOT leave your cans or plastic bottles anywhere but in a recycling bin. Smokers must remember to smoke ONLY outdoors and use the asstrays for your cigarette butts or recycle your butts by using an altoids type tin or simply put them in your pocket. If you have had too much to drink, catch the shuttle bus back to the campground and go into your tent. If you are outside your tent in an obviously intoxicated state, you might be arrested for public intoxication. I have been informed that law enforcement will be watching us closely. Don't give the law a reason to arrest you. As for drug use, well, I think everybody knows the answer to that one. DON'T be stupid and you should be fine. Taking chances are NOT worth the risk of having to defend yourself in a court of law. Your packets that you pick up at checkin at Inks Lake will go over all the things from my blogs. They will also have your tickets, armbands, and cooler check tags. All of the topics will be discussed at Inks Lake on Friday between DJ sets. Even if you don't like a particular DJ's music, plan to attend the breaks for info updates. I will also try to do one or two more blog entries onsite if possible. Lets get ready to have a fun,safe, and law abiding time. Matt Man out.
