Is anything ever going to be done with the NEW RAMP? Inquiring minds need to know. ty.

Wished I had looked at this sooner. I will be monitoring the SAT test in the morning. Screws up the day but it pays pretty good for a few hours of sitting.

Have fun with the kids - give them a chance to fish and have fun.

Ramp is not dead Al , its a very long process....you have no idea!!!   Paper work is insane... the Park is in control of this project. We at fOF just try to push it along.  We just raised funds towards it . Biggest issue is the cost has sky rocketed to   $80,000 plus far away  from original  15,000  when we started this endeavor.   Feel free to contact Valparaiso park dept , Dan Lukes and ask about ?

Thanks Mark, looks like my grandkids might enjoy it. Hopefully something will start in a few more years when the new 80,000 is raised. Guess I wont hold my breath. Was hoping to be able to put my boat in there sometime??? Will keep my fingers crossed, and PRAY.....
