[PARADOX]

18 foot donzi with a 289 and omc drive....moored at LOTO at the 10 mile marker in sunrise beach missouri from 1971 to 1984.....i sure do miss that place....and the boat....

70's -80's Loto was a lot better. I miss those times. My best friend had a condo in Osage Beach. I got lost once going to a campsite with my litle Hustler. Took the "Big Niangua" instead of the little one. I was going to Kansas with 4 gal of fuel. Once I stopped seeing any lights and any civilization I turned back and prayed to the guy upstairs to find any light to get some fuel. I got to some house and walked about 5 miles with two cook bottles... yup glass bottles with gas. But I made it to the campground. Linn Creek or something, by a bridge.
Great times...
