Looking For A Place To Stay Along The River

If caught sleeping at Tan Vat do they give you a warning the first time or is it a for sure ticket

They probably don't want you sleeping in your car or truck because there is a campground close by that they want you to spend your money in at the state park. We used to sleep in the back of my camper shell on my P/U at Mark Twain Lake until the campgrounds opened up and then they started to issue warnings at first. If they caught you again it would be a ticket on your windshield when you came out of the woods.

Personally I think it is BS as long as you are not in the way and not making a mess. People camp out on the sand bars all the time. So why is this any different??

Well when you show up with your old school diesel ton and a half pulling a billion foot long goose neck that is loaded with a billion horsepower pump.....heck yea they will say something!! where you been?

Just been working Pat. Not super busy but steady. I found out this winter while here in the home area it is cold. But we still water blasted down to 5 degrees. Worked fine as long as you didn't stop for about 30 seconds. Froze solid in about a minute. I sure missed being out west this winter as it was the last 2.

And for your info, all I had back then was a little Ranger p/u. We used to camp in the bottoms there before they flooded in the lake and the corp didn't care where we camped as long as we were out of the dirt roads. I wouldn't have been able to turn my work rig around on those dead end county roads we camped on after they flooded in the lake.I should be down to Bennett in a couple of weeks after the water goes down some. I'll let you know a few days ahead of time if I can.
