The Upper Owens river below Benton's Crossing. Meandering through to Crowley.
Sometimes, as the dust settles on your adventures, you forget the thrill of exploring areas that you have never set foot on before. You go on with your routine, and the time between trips stretches longer and longer - and the enthusiastic sensation you felt while traveling, gets dull with time. Read More...

After about 13 years of sitting in my parents garage, I finally towed my jeep to San Diego. It runs and all I need to do is get it smoged! Then I got to find someone who can give me some pointers on welding some brackets to mount the back seat. My total budget for the Jeep is around 5K... but since I don’t have 5k, Its going to take a LOOOOOOOOOONG while. Here’s what I want to do:

Remove the inside carpeting & apply LineX Bedliner to the whole interior
Remove the roll cage and grind down rough edges and re-shoot the whole thing flat black. Install nice padding to the bars.
Fabricate brackets for the driver side chair. Find some used floor brackets, clean, paint & install.
Buy a cover for the jeep
Get the missing parts for my SuperTop
Find used used hood, fenders in good condition.
replace body mounts
replace welded bumper
Rebuild Transmission & Transfer case
Redo Dash
Replace factory lights with new halogens
replace wheels and tires


Guess thats it for now...

This is more of a reminder than an actual blog entry... but for those that don’t what a sportsmobile is, take a look at my links!

Mark Twain portrayed Americas Fishing youth with a wiley, country kid, in coveralls fishing on a slow moving river with a coffee can of worms. While that may be the case in some locations, here in California, the likely hood of a kid fishing on their own is almost non - existent. Coffee can? Maybe a starbucks coffee cup with worms!! Nevertheless, they say the future of the world lies with our kids. That is also true for fishing. Fishing with your kid creates a bond that lasts a lifetime. Ask my dad -- to this day I’m constantly asking him to take a trip with me to Belize!!! Read More...

My beloved Mama Channing has passed away at the age of 90. She lived a great life and touched the lives of many people. God speed and good luck up there! You may need to bribe God for me and let me know if there’s roosterfish up in Heaven.
