Looks pretty good, donut? That's a really nice Cole next to my boat.
This was taken at the Plowman's Creek Park bash on the Brazos River. It used to be a huge gathering during the first weekend of October, with around 50 boats of all kinds, and it had been going on for about 15 years. The park had a nice camping area with showers. A couple of people brought big trailered BBQ pits, and on Sunday afternoon there was a big feed for over a hundred. It was a fantastic weekend.
During the event in 2006, a guy in a jet bote hit a roller and the hull broke apart, he limped it to shore, no one was hurt. Somehow the game wardens heard about it, and within a couple of hours, they were there in force, along with county sheriff's deputies, DPS troopers, and I think even the county dog catcher showed up.
As in most big gatherings, there was a small collection of idiots there, and they had caused trouble the night before with some campers, and they vandalized one of the bathrooms. The cops and game wardens made a big fucking deal about the busted boat, and claimed there was illegal racing going on, public intoxication, and every other thing they could think of.
The game wardens set up on the boat ramp and inspected every boat that came out of the water, and wrote tickets for every little violation. It was a real shit show.
The next year the sheriff showed up at the park gate and told everyone the park was closed to overnight camping, which killed the event, and since then just a few boats show up every year and the game wardens stay on everyone's ass. It's a real shame that a few officials with little dicks and a badge killed a great event.
