Yeah I told @rem270 I have a sharpshooter shovel with about a 14" handle that we used to dig the ditch under my son's deck to run electricity to his shop that would have been VERY handy that day.I used to carry a small shovel and an old machete to "cut" the mud off the tires. 15 years of that was enough to make Reelfoot more appealing
Too bad it was in Paris. LOL
