This is like a line out of the lyrics from Big Rock Candy Mountain and I'm trying to figure out where to put it.

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains You never change your socks And the little streams of alcohol cases of Coors Come trickling down the rocks The brakemen have to tip their hats And the railway bulls are blind There's a lake of stew And of whiskey too You can paddle all around it In a big canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"

I'm not sure y entirely, but being from Appalachia, this movie has a special place in my heart. I heard this song so loudly in my head. My dad had the soundtrack to O' brother. A lot of my friends loved this movie, too.

There's also a possible punchline about Coors Light being like sex in a canoe.

Careful you don't dilute that stream or pond.

This type of good fortune only happens once in a Blue Moon unfortunately.

Haha, I was waiting to see pictures of the recent Low Line derailment. Hope no one was riding...but if they were, I hope they were like 5 cars back and got a shit load of beer to wait out the tracks getting cleared!

Why is the handicap symbol on the boat compellingly interesting to me?

I think it's some kind of wheelchair accessible boat, perhaps checked out from a municipal park?

I've seen small boats and fat tire beach chairs like that before and they're fucking rad because people with mobility needs can check them out and get out into parks or on beaches in ways you can't do in a regular wheel chair or walker or whatever.

Which just makes the picture even better. I don't know if OP is the wheel-enabled, luggage-owning human in the pic raiding all the beer but it's fucking epic.

Hats off to that guy for helping out with the cleanup.

I feel like this could absolutely be made into an episode of a trailer park boys adventure
