On Sunday we went to Huber Farms & Winery in Indiana on a tip from Adam. The drive in was beautiful, winding through hills colorful trees. The farm was full of fall festivities - pumpkin patch, corn maze, farm fresh foods, and lots of people. We enjoyed a bottle of wine while taking in some interesting music and watching the crowds.
Monday we were off to Nashville for a demo day at Long Hunter State Park with Team NuCanoe member Kevin McCullough. We met up with Kevin during the River Bassin Tournament Trail stop in June and floated the Stones River. We had a nice crowd of folks out to check out the Frontier on a perfect fall afternoon. One gentlemen, Joff, was in work clothes but went for a test paddle anyway. He was reluctant to stand up in the Frontier, but with a little encouragement, he gave it a try. Five seconds later he was saying, "Wow, this is easy. I can even walk around on the deck." Yes, you can!
The next day we made the short drive to Lynchburg, TN to see Rhonda at Tim's Flies & Lies. It is literally 100 yards from the Jack Daniels Distillery. We missed the epic Jack Daniels Barbeque Festival by three days...probably a good thing since the crowds would have made getting around just about impossible. Tim's has a been a NuCanoe dealer for 4 years and has introduced countless people to NuCanoe thanks to their prime location, including current dealers in Iowa and Australia.
We followed Rhonda to Tim's Ford Lake for an on water demo. Current NuCanoe owners Warren Patterson, Denny Edwards, and Pat Neese made it out to see and try the Frontier. (See them in the video Duck River Fishing.) All were mightily impressed. Warren, who was a tournament Bass Angler back in the day, would hardly sit down in the Frontier, and he never fishes on his feet in his NuCanoe 10. He figures once he gets the Frontier, he may start fishing the lakes as much as the rivers. Another gentlemen, Joe, came out to try the Frontier as he is in the market for a new fishing craft. He's glad he did as the Frontier is now on the top of his list!
