Football was more my game.

I always played the end guard position. Played right on the end of the bench and guarded the water bucket!

Alright guys it's going to be at Shelby Park. Saturday May 3rd

There is a ramp for anyone who would like to fish the Cumberland river before or afterward. Golf course so Merv and Sambolie so they can swing their sticks together. Pond for anyone who would like to walk around dunking worms. A disc golf course for the Frisbee throwers.

What about the smoker ??? This needs to be lined up ... JD maybe you should have just donated it to the Site ... That way it would have always been dedicated to the Gatherings ... And any member could have checked it out to use ...

I bet pookie could whip up some great stuff with the Pecan .... <'TK>< :)

PS Pookie I still want some wood .... :D

Buccener got the smoker. He said it would be availble for gathering use.

Shelby Park !! <'TK><

Jeremy ...what memories ...Shelby Park ... In 1954 when I was 8 years old my Dad use to take me sledding on the Hills on the Golf Coarse ... It wasn't to far from our house ... We would travel Riverside Drive to McGavock PK. We lived 4 house's from the river right before you boarded the old Ferry to Donaldson ... The ferry was the Judge Hickman... I lived on the river as a kid ...

Question ..I can get there but if you or Mike could give me an address that I can plug in to my GPS it sure would help ... The only way I would know to come is via Inglewood down Riverside ... And I know the Nashville route would be better ... I haven't been to Shelby Park since 1972 ... When I moved back to Tennessee ... Thanks ... <'TK><

PS ... I had a Great Aunt and Uncle who use to live in an old stone house on the right when you first entered the park from the Nashville side .. ... They were born in the late 1800's ... My Dad told me he would ride a bus for a nickel to Shelby to swim in the pool in the summer ... He was born in 1920 ... Is there still a swimming pool ... I know The duck pond is still there I fished out of it in the 50's with my Dad ... ;)

If you are going to fish the lake bring corn because the trout are hitting on it real good right now. Is it OK to bring friends............woody

Directions to Shelby Park <'TK><

TK what it reads is no hunting, trapping or fishing permited. Why would we go where you couldn't fish.....................woody

You can only not fish in the ponds in the preserve. The river and Shelby pond are good to go

Here is the location of the shelter, the blue pin. Right on the lake. Plenty of parking, plenty of table space. No grill though, so if the plan is to grill, someone will have to supply that. We have it reserved may 3rd 6am to 11pm. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/25/y3ytu3yb.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/25/byhytype.jpg

Lol, thanks guys! As I am typing this right now my phone is at 6%, lol

Has Shelby gotten any safer in the last year or two? Last I heard, you didn't want to spend much time in the park without a gun or two.
