Only during "special events". I be now it will be no wake zone cause of the new marina. But how big of a wake do you make at 90MPH? :hammer2: :D

Several have jumped. So to end it all and some for the thrill. More have lived than died. The Wallnut Street Bridge is pretty dam high and I wouldn't recommend it. Yes it is against the law :hammer2:

Exactly! Stacy wants to know if there is shopping right around there. I am afraid to ask why. Even more affraid to shuttle the girls down there and drop them off while we go boating......

Yes, there is a small outlet mall downtown and several art and clothing stores on the north shore. Lots of places to eat and drink. Lots of places to tour. It's a pretty good time. There is also a FREE shuttle to cart everybody around.

Last time I was over there by water a couple of coast guard boats convinced us (about 10 boats) that it would be in our best interest to leave before everybody went through a "safety check."
It was a group of fast outboards. Must be wacka haters.

Usually the Coast Guard is pretty cool :cool: The TN Wildlife Resources are the Nazis. I am suprised they gave you a hard time.

If y'all come to Riverbend you'll see all kinds. There is lots of good one but I am amazed by the people that look in the mirror and say "yes, that's the look I'm going for" "I want my fat gut hanging out over my low risers" :2purples:

They just sent us back down river so I guess it could have been worse, but they said something about the rowing team even though I didn't see anybody. I'm figgering they just didn't like the look of 10 or 12 100+mph boats in their waters.
I like going to Nickajack. A friend of mine rents a lake house for every fall Jasper race and I can usually go freeload for a while.

If you are speaking of Neland Stadium (where the Vols play) uh... no. That is 170 miles north. :idea: Hmmmmm On the other hand....if you were coming from AlaBAMA and wanted to stop half way then you would have 1 helluva place to overnight :D

that's what I was talking about. A big river trip with a stopping place for the big boats. Game days bring out the big ones.
