Well it went like this....
I pull into camp on friday evening about 4 pm or so.Got everything set up and drove the golf cart down to the bar.Grabbed a beer and walked out on to the deck just in time to see Boatnam flying down the river pulling 2 inner tubes with kids on them..Both kids screaming as boatnam is cranking the wheel back and forth as hard as he can..
You got some tough kids there Boatnam....I thought for sure they were dust when ya got her up to 70 or so.... :D :D LMAO..
Did you happen to see the boat hit the dock and sink right in front of Branson's?My buddy was cruising up river in his Schiada when this guy pulled up next to him and wanted to race...They both got on it and then all the sudden the eliminator tunnel bounced a couple times and made a super hard right turn straight into the docks!!By the time my buddy turned around to go help,the boat was full of water and stuck under the dock.The had about 6 or 7 guys and a small tractor to get in out and back on the traler..It sucked to watch that poor guy.Hope he gets everything fixed up... frown

That was some awesome weather we had. :cool: Took my Mom-in-law to the channel. She had a great time. She was impressed that they had the floating snack bars. :)

boatnam,
Yes I thought that was new, It looked like business was going pretty good.
I agree, Parker can be alot of fun too. I started getting board at the channel.

We had a good time at the Nautical. We had beach level rooms in the new buildings. Its a different layout but works very well to keep the room showering and getting ready in the morning. Somebody got it right.
We went through Parker for the first time, I thought it would be much bigger. The river down there looked pretty narrow. I will go when I know there is someone there to show us around. Enjoyed the whoops coming home that way tho :rolleyes:

nb it looks kinda narrow when just driving by but there plenty of room to roam.
