Well I wasn't fishing but I was doing some trolling (sounds friendlier than prowling) the area along East Lake before moving onto North Shore area. Was a pleasant ride except I probably shouldn't have gone to the Linesville Marina before cutting cross country to RT 6 where upon turning left I found the road closed?
I'll be darned, had I simply followed 6 out of Linesville I may have seen the stupid road closed signs and possibly the detour signs too. Who knew??
Not to worry, whipped out my trusty.... phone (ya hogs), tapped the "maps app" and down the road I go. Dirt road, that is, where "Maps" had me turn onto yet another dirt road blocked with "road closed" signs....WTH!!!
OK so reroute and continue on and that's where I learned internet and GPS signals suck in the area. But fear not, I still have my trusty compass on my dash and it's showing I am headed north which is exactly where I do not wish to go. No problem, I'll just find a place to turn around, hopefully soon, when what before my eyes did appear but a red sign with 4 letters that read STOP. A left or right puts me on a paved road so I chose to follow the old proverb "Go West Young Man" where some odd miles later I reconnected with RT 6 (turns out the paved road actually traveled southwest) and I was right at the other side of the construction and almost to my destination. Thank goodness, back to civilization and my internet signal was back too!!!
To make a long story short, no way in hell did I try and find my way back to Linesville. It was "Andover OR Bust" then "Home Again, Home Again.
Oh, did I mention while passing through Espeyville I stopped at the boat launch to make use of the facilities? Not the launch, I just had to pee really bad. But during my visit I learned there is now a "boat wash" available at the sight and the sign said to see the "launch attendant" for assistance. Perfect, I now have an excuse to to talk to the person sitting under the tent looking thingy over by the dock, cause she was cute as a button. My first question "I Don't have my boat but can I still have a free bobber "? Sadly, "no" came the answer she was out of bobbers. OK, so about this boat wash thing, is everyone going to be required to wash before, after, or both when botor moating. "No, it's only voluntary as is an inspection of your boat" I was told. "The wash is experimental and two more sights, are planned in the future". I thanked the young lady for her information and headed back to the car, somewhat disappointed not getting a bobber.
I Don't know about using the boat wash but I do appreciate the other facilities. I mean, my eyes were looking yellow.
