[QUOTE="riverrunner5891, post: 247428, member: 7889"] Seth, thank you for the compliments...looking forward to a fun summer with the new rig! Your boat is quite nice as well sir! Do you ever do the poker runs on the Gasconade? I think I will be doing the Boating for Buddies run for sure this year. Brian J, I do realize the circumstances that would come with the Meramec Basin Project and the loss of the river that is there now. We would, however, have a large LAKE instead to enjoy, plus it would have generated a good source for Hyrdo Electricity and would come in rather handy right now as the area is facing some pretty significant electricity rates (especially local municipalities). You must speak to the earlier generations in regards to this project, as I think most people in their 30s and younger would now support such a project. Yes, we would have lost some of our historic sites (caves & state parks) and that would be a shame, however, the increase in the local economy due to the new attraction would have been crazy. The problem is too much money from the greater St. Louis area was already invested at the Lake of the Ozarks and this is what really shut the project down, as the Lake of the Ozarks would have went bust due to the closer proximity of the Meramec Basin. Anywho...not extactly what I intended to get into with the topic of this thread, but interesting conversation none the less! [/QUOTE]
