I don't keep my boat at West Alton any longer, but I buy my gas there. Far easier than hooking up the trailer, dragging the boat out, getting the step ladder out of the car so I can reach the gas fill, bring the boat back and launch it, bring the trailer back home and park it, and go back down to Parker's, get out in the boat, go out Alton Bay and be within 5 minutes of West Alton.
Also, I live in Alton and West Alton is one of the largest taxpayers in Alton, so it is a small way to say Thanks to them and support them. (thanks also to Minge Cove -Andrew's- and Roberts Cove as well).
And I am off topic, so back to our regualarly scheduled program: I have used the boat far more than in past two years, and we have had had the lake pretty much to ourselves sometimes, and others, well, where the heck did they all come from!
