Ramps Closed

[mattplapp]

I heard that concrete trucks were at Conley today. Everything is going to be good. Worst case scenerio a few pleasure boaters stay away this summer.

Wow, that would be really bad

Just left Conley bottom at 10;30 am 2/8/07 and the ramp is CLOSED. The gravel that was being spread was for the house boat that they TRIED to launch there yesterday.TRUCK BOAT AND ALL got stuck .Had to have a wrecker pull it out. The men that work for the dock said QUOTE..."Everyone is working on moving the docks and changeing the electric over. The ramp is last on the list. They where told that they didn't know when they would even start on it" He did say they where going to pour more concrete but you can bet that won't happen until one of two things occurs. 1. They get Government funding because they haven't made enough already from a taxpayers project. or 2.it is getting close to tourist season and their grant funds are still tied up in red tape. I feel for them that they are in some what of a plight . BUT where are all the ramp fees they have charged the last 5 yrs.They told everyone that that is what it went for......
Of course if you call the "office people" they will tell you what they think you want to hear.Opening soon !!! I hope I am wrong but don't see it happening
AS for the camp ground ramp it is still in the water , but the dock workers are using it and don't think you can put in there.

HALCOMB'S IS CLOSED!!!!! They closed it Jan. 29th,that is where the concrete plant is going to be for the reconstruction of the dam. They are building a new ramp on the backside of the island/peninsula there, however, it won't be done until August. Here is a run down of the Lower Cumberland ramp situation on the Jamestown side:

StateDock/Pumpkin: Closed for repair.

Jamestown: Down to one lane

Lilly Creek: Not usable.

Alligator 1 and 2: Dry Land

Pleasent Hill: Not sure if it is accessible, however I feel a smaller boat with 4X4 truck could get in there.

Bent Hill (Caney): I was told by a reliable source it was accessible.

Purdy Hill (Caney): I have no idea. It is in deep water, but not sure about length of the ramp.

Here's a picture of the pumpkin ck ramp as of yesterday. Like I said, it's kind of rough, but I could get a boat in. (I hope this picture works)
