Sorry to hear about your boat. I was leery of making the downtown run this year after the May floods. There are new trees in the lake, and I was afraird there would be in the river. A Ford van ..............................that's a new one!
Regards,
Steve

Thanks for the kind words.

Note to boaters going downtown.

The diver told me there are atleast 30 to 40 vehicles underwater in that area. At the end of neelies bend boatramp.
Crooks dump cars in river there and then the barges push them up and down the river.

Thanks Eddie

Dam, we made the run on Friday and had no idea that submerged objects were an issue. Can someone show me on a map of the river where the dangerous section is located?

Thanks

Robert
