1 rig parked wrong can mess everything up

Every one was parking good at Lick Creek until a guy decided to just park where everyone was driving through to park along the edge and angled in the middle. So instead of being able to park 6 more rigs it became almost impossible to park anything where you could get out. Stupid drivers too. 1 passed on a hill another passed going into a curve and another passed with oncoming traffic not far. This was on 19 going south this evening. Glad to get home. Then saw where some one had not made the curve. Y the house and stopped just at the fence. Safer to stay off roads this weekend.

I ran into a similar issue a couple weeks ago at south fork. It was a mess....I was fishing out by the bridge near South Fork and saw a guy at the ramp with a massive cigar boat have problems getting it started. There are only two courtesy docks at South Fork. I didn't think much about it and fished for another 45 minutes and then decided to head to the ramp. Got to the ramp and he was still there trying to fix it. This was at around 2p.m. and you had boats trying to load and unload using one ramp. Traffic was backed up past the pay station with boats ready to launch. It was finally my turn but had to tie off to the dock on the other side instead of the ramp side. Got in my truck and back the trailer into the water. Got back in the boat and turned around to load and a guy had parked at the dock right behind my trailer and the owner of the boat was gone so I could not load. So we have 1 ramp occupied for over an hour trying to fix his boat and the other ramp has my trailer in the water but can't get out. 20 minutes later the guy finally shows up. Said he was up in the parking lot tying some lures on...By the time I pulled away, there was still only one usable ramp with about 15 boats waiting to get wet. It's obvious I need to get off the water sooner.

I would have moved his boat. Those cigar boats are horrible. FUNNY it wouldn't start. Hope it I didn't start.

hehe, I didn't want any trouble and I'd never touch anyone's stuff but I understand. You know that's the second time I've seen a cigar boat parked at the ramp that had issues...The first time was last year. Guy came STRAIGHT from the dealership and backed down the ramp. The boat was still strapped to the trailer and all but yet he put it in the water. He pulled up and fixed that after someone said something and then backed down. After that, he had no idea how to start it or operate it. Some guy laughed and asked him if this was his first boat. He said yes. hehe. He eventually went home to do some manual reading I believe. :biggrin
