Where to Dock your boat on “Y” Highway?

Ever driven Y Highway, Missouri from top to bottom? It is an interactive drive… to say the least. Consisting of about 17 miles and 300 plus sharp curves (I gave up counting at 228) it makes for an interesting trip pulling a boat. Life on Y Highway is not always simple for a typical homeowner who happens to have a boat, as many do. The draw to living on Table Rock Lake often includes boating recreation. There are few choices for boat dock ownership and few  – none that I am aware of rental slips.

Until Hideaway Marina came along. A perfect affordable opportunity for a homeowner in the area to dock a boat for the summer or year.  This would reduce traffic on Y and certainly alleviate the boat traffic up and down this stretch of beautiful Missouri roadwork. Tourists are HIGHLY unlikely to use this option for a dock. There are many more useful and far easier and closer docks without the long drive. In fact few folks other than locals are even aware of Y Highway and Hideaway Marina.

The convenient store at the Marina is an asset to the area and makes life that much easier for those in the area who are 20 long miles from a gallon of milk or a roll of TP.,,

The long time local owners of Hideaway Marina are dedicated to preserving the integrity and beauty of Table Rock Lake and the Y Highway area for themselves, their neighbors and friends, and future generations who also deserve to experience this unparalleled part of the Ozarks we all know and love. If you have never been to this top notch, clean and friendly Marina make it a point to do so.

Hideaway Marina zoning issues with Stone county may prevent any possibility of boat dock rentals to property owners.

Support our neighbors and ourselves today. Send email supporting zoning Hideaway Marina for rental slips to rebeccajshortt@us.army.mil

Thank You all <><

The Road to Anywhere near Table Rock Lake

Will be turning, twisting, turning again. The only thing you can be sure of is there will be no straightaway, so don’t be hoping for one cause it isn’t coming, baby.Ever. All the roads are named one of two ways. we have our ‘Y’. And ‘DD’ And ‘Double O’. Which is shorthand for “OO’. Each road has it’s own little offshoots. ‘Double O 10′.  ‘Y 20′. ‘DD 16′. each of these roads have smaller yet offspring. ‘Double O 10 A2′. By the way, to save on confusion each of the second generation and beyond also has a proper name. Pritchard Holler. Blues lane. Jumpin Jacks. I believe these are assigned by whoever decides they have a great name. Kind of like buying a star.

As you may have imagined by now, each little road-child becomes progressively smaller, curvier, and a much more exciting downhill ending up in at the lake adventure. The end of the road is drawing near when the curve signs stop coming but the curves keep on. The state road crew knows when enough is enough before you do.

Wondering how we come up with ‘Y 11′ , ‘Y 18′ , ‘Y 20′? It is certainly not by miles, no sir. I believe it is measured in time. All directions are given by time here about. As Driven in a F-150 Ford pick-up. Anywhere it takes 45 minutes to travel 20 miles( with but 4 other vehicles on the road ) is a go-fast-turn-left experience. Hone up your skills and come on down, the water is fine.

ladies at the lake remember this…

oh no!!!!

Alright ladies, it’s that time of year once again!!! I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below…

The Open Toed Shoe Pledge
As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:
*I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.
*I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.
*I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe..
*I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.
*I will shave the hairs off my big toe.
*I won’t wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.
*If a strap breaks, I won’t duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back! into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.
*I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl’s if my feet need him.
*I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids’ sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.
*I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.
*I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.
*I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.
*I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $20 or $25 and worth EVERY penny).
*I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear… nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

Don’t ! keep this is to yourself – pass it on to other sisters.
