    Yes, he still has the inflatable hot tub. I wouldn't get near it though. I think he calls that thing a bath. :shock:

    I am working on a google map that will show you our trails to get all the way back to there house. Its quite a maze but we never have to take a lick of road. We either have to cross under 61 bridges at Devil's Creek or we can ride up closer to there house and cross under the highway in a box style culvert that is barely big enough to fit a wheeler in. Its pretty cool.

    Guess you will have to pull it down toward FM to see the landmarks and routes. Don't know how to change that in the link.

    There is also a 3 bedroom home on the property that would need someone to move into it. :D Just found that out this evening. Bonnie's mom was telling telling Warren we needed a bigger place.

    That would be awesome Randy. But you would have my dilemma then. We have thought about moving to a newer house, but I don't think you can beat living a block from work! lol

    Finally took the time to look at the map, that place looks pretty cool! When I was working on the subdivision in Ft Madison I would take my lunch and eat at that boat ramp. Never saw a boat or trailer there, it does look pretty shallow. I did find some driftwood there that I have sitting in my yard tho!

    Yes I agree. Living so close for both of us now is very nice.

    Wouldn't be a huge deal for me since I don't have to buy my gas in the company truck but it would mean more driving for Bonnie which she hates. I don't see that as really being a deal breaker though. We'll see, I am not super excited about moving to a house in the bottoms though. The place has flooded, only in 93 but obviously its been close a few other times and with the way the water is these days, prolly will be in the future too.

    That is very true, never thought of the flooding thing. But wouldn't it be nice to be that close to the water, both the lake and the river! :party:

    Well duh!!

    Hard to say what will happen at this point. Gotta make everything final first cause right now he don't own the lake, the bank does. The company that owned all the ground and lake went bankrupt a while back and its still a matter of getting through all that legal crap to where it can be sold. He jumped on the property and got it bought as soon as possible and I think he said about 60 days before the lake property will be released. No reason to believe he won't get it though. Other than a stray house or two he owns everything in that bottom so whoever would want it would be one land locked mofo.

    Deal's not a deal till its done though. I know it could make a great ice fishing hole though, with the building's close by and wheeler access. Plus they say guys walk north on that river from that ramp into the backwater up by rabbit island and hammer the crappies. There is deep water back in there and you know these is amazing bass fishing too. However no way to access it by boat. Other than an air boat. You have to basically cross land at one point to get into it and that's tough to do on much other than an air boat. Dude used to commercial fish it with an airboat and do awesome till they found out he was growing dope back in there too and far as I know now he in jail. lol

    Far as I know all of rabbit island was seized in that raid and I don't know who would own it now. Maybe the government. He had a new house built up on stilts out on the island, we sold him the materials. It was a creepy place to drive too though.

    Looks and sounds like a sweet deal. I hope everything works out the way it is suppose to. Would be nice living that close to both a lake and the River.

    Well, sometimes you gotta remember who your dealing with!


    So much for the campground lake idea. I already had it out with the family cause they are down there loading up stringers with all the fish they can catch. Bass, crappies, whatever.


    I get so in tune with people that are willing to conserve to make a fishery better that I don't even realize there are people out there that don't give 2 chits about it.


    Camp ground is open and it is called Duck Haven Campground. Guess they got the ok to open it and run it until they can actually get the buying of it done. Either way, I could give 2 chits less now. They called me up to tell me all this and how they had a meal of giant bass they caught out of it last night. I proceeded to start screaming at them, told them "you know bass gives you cancer" and "you'll never catch me on that lake or staying in that park as long as you don't have more respect for the species than that" and hung up.



    Sooooo, next plan. Fugg Duck Haven Campground, I hope it floods and fills up with gar and carp then maybe they can catch and eat them too.


    End of my rant now. happy

    Yeah, at least I found out about it right away. I have wasted no energy or time on the place. I would have been more pissed off if I would have been ready to move there and found out they were all coming down to catch supper every night.

    It won't last, and when they all wonder what happened I will be the one laughing my azz off.


    I got plenty of places to fish, just don't have a new one now.
