| Me and Cactus Bob got to witness 35 barges that broke loose from a tow boat and they were goin down the river out of control, we watched them for about 2 hours and the barges were spread out over atleast ten miles when we left the river and the tow boats werent even close to catchin all of them!

| Mac, im gonna get me some patches that go on them shirts so it looks like i have sponsors too
Everett, those pics were taken with Coach's phone,,my pics did the same thing you are talkin about and i dont understand it because all of the other pics i have posted on here are taken with my phone
as for them corralin the barges, the boat that lost them were pushin the barges up on the bank till help got there and had two other small boats helpin him and then an empty tow came along and they tied the barges up to the empty tow boat ,,and i guess they rebuilt the tow on the empty boat and then hooked back up to the original boat |
