Food At The Oar House?

Is it worth a mile or so boat ride for dinner?

Ill answer my own question. Yes, it is, it was good, and cheap.

Glad some things don't change! Haven't been there in about 15 years, and I live at the lake, just the wrong end!!!

Been at least 8 years for me. Back when Ben Johns was on the loose everyone there was packing shotguns, including several that were considerably more dangerous than Ben was. "The Bend" is not a place for the timid, or the easily offended.

IOW, they don't take kindly to folks that don't take kindly.

I had never heard of Ben Johns, so I did a search. Also learned there is a website called "Murderpedia".

thing about that guy is he spent all his time in the woods. They say there was no better the real indians would have admired him. They walked right by him a couple times trying to catch him. someone who know him say he used to catch deer with his bare hands. He gave them a real merry chase for some time.
