dtrs5kprs Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 The problem is that a lot of the resorts don't allow trailer parking anywhere near the units so you have to drop it in some obscure location designated for such use. Kinda like a big candy store for thieves - one stop shopping. Still Waters is among the worst. While the parking area is lighted, it's up on a hill in the middle of nowhere with zero visibility from anywhere in the resort area and no security. That's why I don't stay at those resorts, lol.

vernon Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 That's why I don't stay at those resorts, lol. Got me there! dtrs5kprs and magicwormman 2 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." George Carlin "The only money ever wasted is money never spent." Me.
dtrs5kprs Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Got me there! Seriously. If I can't park it by the room, I'm not staying there. I can think of about four resorts around Kimberling that fit that bill. Good enough for me. There are still a few others here and there. Not palatial, and I still sleep with a pistol, but less worrisome. magicwormman, Champ188 and vernon 3
moguy1973 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 How's things looking down that way now that the lake is back above 928'? Clear? Stained? Muddy?

Stillwater's is awful...........my wife makes fun of me for going overboard with locks at Stillwater's. I park the trailer near a tree; cable it to a tree, another lock on the tongue and I take the swingaway tongues pin out and drop a lock thru there too.(lol)..........overkill, I know. But I don't want to have to figure out how to get the boat home on a family vacation.:-( - And I know, I know...........if a thief wants it bad enough, they'll get it. But, why would they hassle with my ole nag; when there's always other trailers on the lot unlocked; ready to just hookup and roll away with.(some with boats too!) vernon and magicwormman 2
motoman Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Oops; I veered off a different direction to which this thread was heading. - I haven't been keeping tabs on things down their the past few weeks.........why is the water coming up? (Lotta rain?)
