I just looked at Shawnee with google earth. It looks pretty commercial. Lots of asphalt. I also saw those "cottages" adjacent to some rather large parking areas. In other words, it looks like we'd be forced to park our trucks in a side-by-side parking lot on the main road of the resort (as opposed to staggering them in the grass so we can tinker, look at the trucks, etc.), and then walk foot paths toward the various cottages. I'm just trying to be devil's advocate here. I still think the original spot in southern Illinois is more desirable from the geographic standpoint, (or the lake region in far western Kentucky).......if only it had smaller single-family occupancy style cabins. This Shawnee place has the larger cabins, and it might be the same situation. I'm just sayin.......we need to get this right and not regret it later. Or you guys can just come to my place and throw up about a dozen small cabins.

Have you ever been there? Or do you know anybody who's been there? It would be a very easy drive for me comparatively speaking, possibly shorter than even your drive. I am just trying to make sure we make a good decision for everybody.

Nope, never been there....... that makes for part of the "adventure" and if it isn't all that, there is always next time. Its actually a fair drive for me 4+ hours

I rented a boat slip for one weekend at the marina, and, all I can say is that the people there were the most hospitable of any place I have ever stayed. The dock master even knew my name (by the description of the boat) when I pulled into the slip. No regrets. Great experience.

See the #1 car? I'm pretty sure that's the *******s who stole our impact gun! The driver's name was "Chub". He was the series champion. I lost it and started yelling "What the #$%# kind of name is Chub anyway!"
Damn I'd like to see a good dirt track race right now. Cabin fever is driving me insane!

LOL. I figure if I stay inside much longer, it might set me straight. But I have started tinkering with my 50 a little here and there between work weekends. I honestly don't see what keeps people from just going nuts. Everybody always wonders why Kentucky basketball is so popular in this state. It's because there is absolutely nothing else to do during the winter except watch them play on TV. Also probably the reason people used to have 10 kids each around here in the old days......
