Death Barge!
I was almost hoping that Dee might forget about the Death Barge idea and move on to some new mania, but no. He keeps sending me links, which means he's engaged , which means I'm on board, which means it might actually happen.
So Team WRECK, get ready. Start collecting styrofoam, pickle barrels, anything that floats, plus lumber, plywood, rope, etc. After the 2009 Rickreall Open we will launch our rafts and barges into the Willamette (or possibly the lower reaches of Rickreall Creek) and race back to Portland.
The Miss Roackaway ArmadaWe are floating down the Mississippi River on a raft we built from trash. The catch is that we don’t know much about boats or rivers, and we don’t have any money. We know we are blowing crazy hot air, but if the idea makes your eyes glow like coals then you understand what we’re doing.
"Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea" by NYC based artist Swoon is a flotilla of seven intricately hand crafted sea vessels that sailed up the Hudson river from August 15th to September 7th of this year. The ships were a hybrid of boats, furniture, household objects, and other found materials that the artist compiled an then constructed into a floating barge. Check out the link below for more details on this interesting homebrew art piece.

i know of a partailly completed barge that needs a new home. Lots of decent materials.

I might be able to find some room in a barn...

How large is it? Would it fit in a pickup bed or would I need a bigger flat bed? Maybe it would look good in Dee's yard...
It's about 8' wide, and is three full fire barrels long - that means it could _probably_ be hauled in the back of a pickup, sort of at a slant, and have it be tied down.
The next scrapper will get it unless I hear back.
Free barge!
Wait, if it is already considered a barge, doesn't that make it a boat, and rendered ineligible to be a, or even part of, a Death Barge?
(Since I heard that no parts or supplies can come from a boat)
John, it's 6 fire barrels welded together with a bike frame attached. Ergo, a bicycle with floats, not a boat. Said drums can be separated and used to make a barge.
Cupcake said he's inbound to fix it and take it away today. If not today, you or a scrapper gets it. Please call me at 206-383-7306 to arrange pickup asap.
Well,
I hear, (or technically helped to decide that) another part of Death barge is that no bikes or bike parts are to be used on your barge.
And definitely no Pirate Flags or Flair...
i am either sad, or confused, or both
