Chad Thompson, an ice fisherman, found this boat with his camera a couple years ago. He saw it again this year because the water was very clear and got in contact with Okoboji UnderWater Recovery and the Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum and worked a deal where UnderWater Recovery would donate their time and Chad would donate the boat to the Maritime Museum where they would display the boat.
A handful of Grain Belt beer cans, one Hamm’s, and a Bubble Up bottle were found in it

Hey... West Okoboji is in Northwest Iowa.
ReplyDeleteIowa, Ohio... 4 letters each with 3 vowels and one consonant. Easy to mistake one for another when they are both in the midwest

ReplyDeleteThanks for making the change!
it's one of the weird idiosyncrasies I've noticed about how my brain works. Words that are that similar, with similar meanings (states in midwest I have been through but never stayed in) are often confused when I use them. That sort of thing happened with Rick Springfield and Bruce Springsteen. Last names exactly the same length, mean 80s rock stars.
