This is Lee's Ford Marina on "C" dock. And, it's HOTTTT.

By the way, unleaded gas is $2.29 at the Renfro Valley exit. At least it was last night.

Oh my gosh! Today is the kind of day you wish for all summer. We just floated around at the mouth of Clifty Creek. About ten boats passed the whole time. It was great. Where is everyone?

Mmmmmm, sounds good! Where is Camplin's retreat?

We just had Krystal Chick. We don't have them in Ohio. And......Baskin Robbins!

This is a perfect night too. I've heard there is a band at Lee's Ford Marina tomorrow night.

Just above fall creek.

On the same side of the lake as Conley but just a little further west.

Nice looking place. I'm assuming most of you are on the lake this weekend?

We spent the day on the lake today. The debris was minimal from Lee's Ford, going toward Conley Bottom, until we reached the Mill Springs area. It got a little thicker there then, unreal between shinbone and after, toward State Dock. We gave up and turned back.

The water wasn't too bad.

Yep, we put in at Fall Creek yesterday, got on plane for 30 seconds and spent the next hour at least idiling west. It was a nice leisurly ride and we got to play guess that trash. Where we would spot odd pieces of trash and guess what it was before we got close enough to really tell... It was sad to see all that trash. :(


Anyway once we passed Harmon it wasn't bad at all and we went up to Cave Springs and saw Howl, Bubbles, Pneeb, Toon, and some others. Then went to State Dock and saw Marine Assist (Don) and had lunch. Then spent the rest of the day anchored under the first big cliff in the mouth of Beaver/Otter which ended up bring a great spot with a spectacular view. Saw LC Addict at Jamestown for a moment and dropped off her Pennant as well as a quick slip over to Crwky's to deliver his as well.


Getting to see all of them was icing on the cake of a wonderful day. However the trip back thru the funk and it getting dark on me was a real bummer. Not sure which way we will go today, I have thought about driving down to Beaver Creek Marina and putting in there.

Bubbles does exist. I was pulling out from the Island on the other side of the ridge from Cave Springs yesterday and saw her and Pneeb floatin along. Apparently they like Howl and Chillin better than you.. :p

They even saw Dolphin at state! :))
