I guess it's better than taking 2 cars, but I think $10 to $15 is more fair. a dude does the same thing for canoeing on the Buffalo for $10.

As far as I can remember, the price of a shuttle from the store to Betty's has been $20. At least that's what I've always been told. It's always been $10 from the store to Happy Hollow.
$25 is high, but no, I don't think it's out of line.
I remember when Joel's white truck was brand new. The first time I ever floated the Caney was in one of his canoes. We ran all the way down to Betty's because we didn't recognize the Happy Hollow take out. My dad gave Joel another $10 because he had to make the trip to Betty's to pick us up. But the one thing that sticks out in my mind most was Joel's daughter ran across that gravel bar and dove right into the middle of that run.

I have been hiring shuttle folks for a long time in this part of the state and $20 bucks is what we paid 8 years ago and what we still pay today. I am sure at some point they will raise the price but IMO it is a bargain to be able to take the boat out at the end of the day and head to the house without a bunch of shuffling around.

Okay. Seems as though I was wrong. Maybe they just gave us a price break. I thought they went from $10 to $25. If they went up $5 that's more than reasonable.
Anyone remember when Deidre was running the cash register at the Old Big Rock and had to stand on a stool to reach the thing? That little sweetie never made a mistake with the change, though.

With today's gas prices , and the time involved , I think $25 is reasonable .

From my house, I can take two vehicles for less than $25. It isn't the money. It was the idea of more than doubling the price. Now that I know that is not what they did, I'm cool with it.
RE the pickup. No, they don't pull your boat out. They pick you up and then you drive back and pull your boat out. I'm sure that is an insurance thing.
Tomorrow we are doing Happy to Bettys and then off the water and highways until next week. Our aim is to time the gens to hit us about 3/4 of the way down.
