more Sierra trip rambles! After stopping in Bishop to resupply (Sizzler Steak house for salad bar!)we headed up to Lake Sabrina to do some kayak fishing,but when we got there the lake was so far down that the boat ramp was closed and to get the yak to lake was to big of a hassle,shifted to plan...

Alabama hills mine? Patrick,I do not know if it was a mine or just a storage shaft. It went in straight about 10' and had a shaft to the left about 10' also,as it was just off the road there was not any tailing's that i could tell,maybe they were used when they built the road.If you are in the...

Loaded up the taco,fwc,dual sport, kayak,on june 2nd and headed to the sierra's for three weeks of enjoyment.Made it to lone pine and since the long trip from La Quinta wore us out we ended up staying at tuttle creek blm campground.This got us so relaxed that we spent 4 days in area exploring by...

Eagle lake -yes-no -maybe! Fisherman,We are kind of planning on making it to the eagle lake area as my wife lived a few of her early days in Quincy,Her uncle was the game warden for the area. The problem is there is so much to keep us busy that its hard to say if we get that far this trip.But...

roof vents If i remember i think you can get flush roof vents at marine supply outlets like west marine.Just a idea if you only need 1-2 inchs,cheaper than raising your garage door. I did have a car collector that lived near us when we lived in Borrego springs that cut two channels in his...

Long! Jay Length is 14'4" bow to rudder (which is not removable) I have not had any problem with length,but then we have always had ocean yaks which are long anyway.Of course at this stage of life they all seem heavy,but have learned how to load/unload without causing damage (to Me!).I made a...

ac questin Mark, Do you use ac because of high temps or because of high humidity?.I always wonder ,seems like unless you stay in reg camp grounds with hook ups you wont be able to use with out gen.One of the main benifits of fwc in my opinion is the fact that soon as the sun goes down the...
