I had other commitments today. How was it? Please tell us all about it. Anyone going tomorrow?
Better than expected: It was certainly cooler by the lake, but the water didn't freeze my toes (that's all I got wet).The lake was nearly waveless: there was a tiny breeze from the east which is what kept the temperatures down, but not so much as to chill.
As with the last few years, the north unit has seen substantial erosion -- some areas that were 15 feet from the water are now 2 feet from the water. But I found a cozy cove to sun in for a while, leaving only because I needed lunch. The closest I saw other people were a couple blocks away.
I got to the south unit around 1:30. It was nearly empty. Once I got away from the trail, there were two couples near the far trail, dressed like it was an ordinary April (long sleeves etc.), and one guy in a red thong hidden in the grass (nearly stepped on him looking for a place for me to set up, before I saw him). For the rest of the afternoon, I enjoyed the sun, but because I was watching to see who might show up, half my face got more sun than the other.

Thank you for the report!!!
I went on Monday. Nice weather, a little buggy. The lake was like glass, no movement. Few people. Only one was sunbathing in a thong otherwise a couple of walkers. It was weird to see that they had burned all of the vegetation. Must be some kind of a prairie restoration thing.
Y'all missed another great day.Early it sucked: I got to the north unit before 11AM, and left by 11:30: The sun wasn't out and the wind off the lake was pretty nasty.After 12 the sun came out, the winds died down and shifted more west by south, and especially in the grass where you could get shelter from the breeze (and from surprised glances) it was quite nice.I was the only one out there I could see really enjoying the sun in the nature area (there were plenty on the main beach even when I left around 4:15). There were only maybe a dozen other people sighted the whole afternoon, most of them far away, almost all in jackets and long pants.
It's supposed to be nearly as warm today, but I can't make it out.
