      Since we run in a county park, it would be just our luck that game and fish or a deputy would fine us if we don't register. You have to register a boat to use any kind of power, electric or gas.


      I thought you guys were gonna use a row boat instead to save cash ?.

        We could. But We already have a brand new trolling motor and battery. Now to find some cheap oars!

        Hell, I think we oughta just not renew the registration on the canoe and look for a cheap small jon boat and not register it. . . take our chances.

        We can probably get $100 or more for the gheenoe and even more for the utility trailer that most of you haven't seen.

        Any thoughts?

                    Yep. Already sold. DANGIT! I'll keep looking. You guys keep looking too. Must be lightweight, 10 footer is best. Gotta be able to easily throw it on top of a van or SUV.

                      You're good. Not sure where to buy that much aluminum tubing and plexiglass for that price! Not around here anyway!

                        Ackerman Update

                        According to a "limey" friend of mine the last 'oars 'e 'ad cost him a bunch and still wanted to charge more for paddling.

                        I stopped by Ackerman on my way home from flying this morning and walked down to where we launch the boats from. The slime is GONE but I really don't recall seeing this sign before.
                        I'm still charging packs and plan to be there in the morning unless nobody else is coming. Would have put this up sooner but seems like OSE has been down until just now. Been trying to get on ever since getting home.

                          That is a new sign. And I thought the county never went out there.....
