McCormick cable park revisited
 

Any updates on McCormick's cable park? Their website is down and they are building a new one. Anyone been there yet? Mike was supposed to send me an email when they were up and running. Check's in the mail.

Also, I need some recommendations on travel bags.

I met with Mike last Friday, the cable is up and they're still pouring concrete.
They will open for limited sessions late August and be open for biz in Sept.

Where is this?????

Seffner area
about 5 miles NE of I-4 and I-75

From Tampa- Exit 8 Left to Taylor road (right) a few miles

From Brandon- Take Kingsway North past Hwy 92 to the end of the road, McCormick is to the right a few hundred yards.

Lookin' forward to some great events there in the near future!

SWEET! My office is at 301 and I4, like 15 minutes from there!!! :cool:

All I could find on the web is this:

When I was checking out the cable about two months ago, the "pond" where the cable was being set up looked pretty nasty. Then I recalled a post, I think by RickI, about wakeboarders developing amoebic menigitis, from riding in stagnant freshwater lakes and ponds. Symptoms are headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, leading to convulsions and ultimately death. The death part can be prevented if caught early enough, but the incubation/innoculation period is so fast that by the time the victim realizes that he's got more than a bad headache and some nausea attributed to the night before, his chances are markedly reduced. The infecting agent is an amoeba (remember high school biology?) and it lives in the waste matter at the bottom of stagnant fresh water lakes. The free swimming form enters the brain from the nose and sinuses and sets up shop. I guess not a problem if you don't fall a lot and get water up your nose. The disease is rare, but still exists. Mortality is over 50%.
