  1. The west...Snake, Green , Sacto and the Fall.
  2. SC's line was bad, but it was a hell of a lot better than UCLA's.............
  3. I've climbed that sucker with ropes...even then it's do or die. If Alex sneezes he's dead....
  4. I've played the game 3 times. One was Spyglass. Another was a par 3 in South Pasadena. Smoking and drinking, we both teed off. Spent about a 1/2 looking for my ball. Partner got impatient and putted in...there was my ball in the cup.
  5. I have a 12 1/2' Avon. I move my toolbox back to the tailgate, and put the raft on that and the cab. Strap from the front bumper to the nose ring, I can drive 70 easy.
  6. Led Zepplin, May 3, 1969 Rose Palace, Pasadena I was 15. The Rose Palace is a large corrugated steel building where they (still) build floats for the Rose Parade. Tickets were $3.50. Elvin Bishop and 'Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and the Trinity' were the opening acts. When Jimmy Paige whipped out his violin bow on his guitar on 'How Many More Times?' the place went wild. Pretty fricking amazing first concert.
  7. Wow, y'all are a bit older than I thought.... Grateful Dead, sometimes in the 70's @ Kesar Stadium in San Francisco. Kesar is an old concrete bowl of a football stadium where the 49's played in the 50's and 60"s. Brother lived in rural Orange County, in a house surrounded by orange groves. My roomie was a semi-pro baseball player. When the dead took their usual 30 minute break, we opened the two gunny sacks of oranges we had brought from the groves , and my roomie began to distribute them, with pinpoint accuracy, throwing to people all around the stadium....even to folks waving their arms at the very top of the rim. The wind swirled a bunch at Kesar, so his accuracy and delivery was something to see. Within 10 minutes or so, the oranges were gone. Soon, we were the recipients of all kinds of "goodies" passed to us by appreciative folk - I mean a lot. Wouldn't all fit into a large baggie. Oh... the night before the concert, we stayed in the Stanford dorm of one of my brothers high school buds. Said bud opened a bedroom door and told me that's where I'd be sleeping , and given the fact that we were drinking Mickey's big mouths and Cuervo Gold all the way from LA, I got right to it. Sometime later a beautiful blond slide into bed with me, and fun things happened.
  8. I don't have any experience with flycraft, but I have decades of experience fly fishing out of rafts. I went and looked at their website and the stealth model and noticed a couple of things. I don't know if you will be fly fishing, The advantage of being able to stand in a raft in fly fishing is that it gets your rod tip 6' to 8' higher above the water than in a float tube. Gives you many more options in how and where (and what) you can cast. But when you stand and cast, having a broad base, as in being able to spread your feet, allows you to properly control everything. The stealth on the website is pretty damn narrow, and precludes a wide stance. It's narrowness is also an issue in seaworthiness , wether floating a river or being offshore. You're out there to fish, not worry about your craft. I think for what you pay and what you get, you can do better. A wider inflatable is cheaper. You can build your own frame with floor for a couple hundred bucks, and you will have something that you will be able to use in more situations.
