A small hovercraft would be much better.

Provided you could find a place to get up and over the berm, you would be out of sight, and also have mobility in the interior.


Given the land is less than a few years old or so, I doubt much for tree growth has developed. That being said, I think you have the safest and sanest approach. Assuming the data is correct, you are definitely wanna tie off somewhere while romping around there and definitely bring a buddy. They state that soft parts can be as deep as 16ft.

Having said that...just putting this out there ;)

That's pretty cool. :-)

But this is more the kind of thing that could take on the slope of a berm - even if you had to offload your victim, er, passenger temporarily.

If I am spending that much on a hovercraft, I’m gonna insist I do it right.

This is about my temperature

I’d probably suggest a decent flare gun and a comsat phone with the coast guard on speed dial. A good attorney might help too

16 feet deep? Meh. When they dredge out the settling ponds I play in the hole is at least 20 ft deep. Bring it on! :twisted:

They are limiting liability for the inevitable idiot that will try to take a high school class there. We are an entirely different level of idiot entirely. We could do this and nobody would ever know.

Oh, Dave...these boys got boats - https://www.nautitoons.com/ And I love how it mentions they are located right behind "Go Topless Fishing Charters" - We could do this :mrgreen:

Casino? Check
Go Topless Fishing Charter? Check
Pontoon Rental WITH A FUCKING WATER SLIDE! (Use your imagination folks)....AND CHECK!

So when are we all going and how much in advance do you need from me before it costs more to fuel the thing than to rent it?
