It brought back a memory of an incident years ago. I'm sure the statute of limitations has passed, and the landowner has also passed away. I was gifted a nice aluminum Lund V bottom boat with no trailer many years ago. Buddy and I knew of a guy living just outside of a COE lake, somewhere in Oklahoma that had a couple of junk boats with trailers. He said he would give me the trailer if the boat went with it. His back fence had a gate that opened up to a shoreline on the lake. It looked like the fence was intact, but he had it rigged to open.We filled the boat with driftwood and hay. Launched it on the lake, then set it on fire to give it a proper Viking Funeral. The North wind took it toward the middle of the lake with a tower of flame. As it was about dark, we saw a LOT of boat lights heading in that direction. (Memorial Day) One set was certainly LEO. We got the heck out of Dodge and left the area! Probably a stupid thing to do in retrospect, but we all do stupid things on occasion. Probably what's left is now fish habitat on the bottom of the lake.</blockquote>
