remember the hovercraft they had at the poly for a SHORT time ?..........D

 

[Colson39]

Hmm, I don't remember that actually, when was that?

 

[2goofycampers]

Best guess it was there in the mid 90's. we were doing a fishing tour and the guide said it was a trial thing. it looked like a huge silver covered rubber raft with a cockpit. next year that same guide said people were running over the water mice, some one might get killed and it didn't last long..

I remember these silly water bike things that they had at FW during one trip. They were testing them out as rental items down at the marina. They let us use them free, just to get our opinion. They were HARD!! It basically looked like a bicycle on a pontoon. You would sit (after trying to balance) and pedal to make a rotor go around. It took many, many tries to even get balanced enough to pedal!

Yeah....they didn't last long.

Do ya think if we push REALLY hard we can get to 4000? Only 114 to go.

Ok - completely off topic, but I borrowed a CD from a friend of mine - Buddy Guy, "Buddy's Baddest" - and I just heard his version of Mustang Sally for the first time. WOW. I have Wilson Pickett's version as well, and now I don't know which one I like better.

That place is sweet! Although, I don't think I want to be in it in a storm

... happy as a tornado in a trailer park...

2 more days until we head out for Panama City Beach

We've spent the last week getting everything together. We had to get an oil change, get air in the tires, have a chip in the windshield repaired, and of course restock all the batteries, cleaning supplies, first aid stuff and toiletries. Tomorrow I have to load up the food and clothes and we are all set. We are pulling out on Thursday morning and staying the first night in Bowling Green KY, and 2nd night in Ozark, AL. We should be pulling into the PCB campground by noon on Saturday.

Check out this one of the marina at FW in 1974 (when I was a kid we used to rent those sailboats all the time!!!)

My dad rented one every trip until they took them away.

Good thing Chad doesn't read this board....he could spend all of our vacation money at Camping World with NO problem, lol !!

I've never been on a sailboat. The local campground we have a membership at rents ones about that size. Maybe I will give it a try this summer.
