About 3 weeks ago me and the wife were returning home from about 10 hours of boating/fishing in Jackson County WV(Obriens Lake) and were tired and hungry so we pulled into the Burger King there at Fairplain....We stop there usually 12-15 times during the boating season. There is a SHARP turn from the food ordering sign, and my 16' Starcraft is pretty wide so I always swing a bit out or use the outer ordering lane.....No problems ever. However for some reason I swung in there, in the first lane, ordered food and then turned without swinging out. While sitting behind a car that was at the pay window I noticed that there was a pole real close to my load assist bracket, and NO...was not going to clear it. I backed up a bit and turned and still won't clear it. The guy behind me is close so I can't backup much...try again, same crap. Now I see my trolling motor is on one side and the bracket is on the other side so I can't go anywhere....Really getting frustrated now. I see that the guy behind me can now see I am in a mess so they back up a little more, but there is a guy behind him now...again I fail...Now the guy and the OTHER guy behind him back WAY up and I back it up further and finally look OK. And, all the time the two people in Burger King (Pay Window and food window) are sticking their heads out the windows wondering where WTH is going on....Finally get it going and apologize to the Burger folks and haul my embarrassed self to the other side of the lot to eat...and hide.
