At a certain other site it was rated 10 for a long time, until someone came along and spoiled that.

As I recall, it was foo-fooey type person who did not enjoy lakey-outdoorsey type vacations. One of the complaints was having to stay and sleep with dead animals.

Some folks seem to get a kick out of stuff like that (nit-picking not sleeping with dead animals).

It is kinda weird with those animals all over. I do remember when we were last there, we had stayed in the lodge. The bench by the table was (ugly as all get out) not a good place to sit. However, the coffee table by the TV did fine for a table substitition and the couch was comfortable. Another thing I remembered was the paddle/peddle boat we took out was bad. It had an adjustable seat that kept popping off which meant you couldn't go anywhere because you had nothing to hold onto when peddling.

I also remember it being hot and traffic that didn't move. That was because we were their on the July 4th week and everyone else was there too.

We will be staying in a cabin when we are there in August. I think that will be more comfortable. It will probably have more animals though. I just hope it won't be as hot.

Johnny Morris is very particular about stuff, but the rental fleet bumfuzzles me. I expect it to always be in tip-top ship-shape, but . . .

When we bought our house in '97, it came with a boat slip. We had no intention of boating but we were at Bass Pro in October, '97, and they had 11 deck boats that had been in the Big Cedar rental fleet for just 3 months and were in great shape. Those boats had been replaced in the rental fleet by the new-design Tahoe deck boats.

So we got one of the used ones. We still have it and it is still in great shape.

But, last we noticed, Big Cedar still has those old Tahoes and they were in horrible shape.

Johnny Morris has been rebuilding Top of the Rock golf course for 3 or 4 years. The word is he is not satisfied with what they build, and tells them to do things another way.

I am planning on running my resume' over to personnel, for Player Services at TOTR, because it has to open some day. (not that I'm not happy where I'm at)

I always forget about that when I do the reviews! We had one last year in which the pedals were broken. I could do one stroke forward and then it would jam. I ended up having to go all the way back into the dock BACKWARDS. It stunk!

The powerboats and the pontoons have always been nice, though.
