Re: CA or bust!!

I know it sure sucks that the Sacramento River has the largest run of King Salmon in the United States.<br />You'll be about a hour away from me putting you on them chappy. ;)

Re: CA or bust!!

Now that sounds like a deal Skinny!!!<br />Up here you can only keep 5 King Salmon a year (North of a line drawn on a map from Point A to Point B) - most of my fishing area BTW. Is it like that down there too?<br /><br />Update - movers have everything all wrapped up. Couch, chairs, tv, everything that I am not taking that is. I will be sleeping on an air mattress again, kids in a tent for the next couple of nights. Moving truck comes in tomorrow am to pack it all out.<br /><br />AK Chappy

Two a day per person. Season opens July16, but won't get really going until late August. It'll give you time to get settled. I'm an easy 60-70 mile drive north of Marysville.<br />I have the bait and tackle covered, so stay in touch and we'll do it. ;)

Re: CA or bust!!

Man it really sux being homeless!!! :D :D <br /><br />I have spent the past few days with a friend. I packed, unpacked, packed and unpacked my trailer full of ****, I mean stuff. Then I tried to leave yesterday and the trailer was just too tall and top heavy. I ended up renting a U-Haul trailer and unpacking and packing my schtuff again!!<br /><br />We are actually starting our drive down this morning. We want to leave at about 9 am. I will at least be somewhere in the Lower 48 for the 4th. I just may not be in Marysville now.<br /><br />Thanks again for all the well wishes. Skinny, I have to leave my boat up here (gives me a reason to come back :) ) I will be looking for a new one down there, but look forward to doing some fishing with you.<br /><br />LD, <br />Sorry to hear we will miss each other. I was looking forward to that too. But yeah, we can get together for Orville, or I might make a trip to see you.<br /><br />Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to CA I go!<br />AK Chappy

Re: CA or bust!!

It has been a very uneventful trip so far. No problems (other than massive frost heaves and mosquitos).<br />We changed our direction of travel and went down through Montana. I wanted to go to the Little Bighorn Memorial. (We did that today)<br />We have seen several Black Bears, a Sow Grizzley and two cubs, Caribou, Deer (Blacktail and Whitetail), Elk, Bison, Fox, Coyote and a ton of beautiful scenery. Tomorrow, we should make Nevada and Monday CA. Just in time for the 4th. Now I just have to find a place to watch the fireworks.<br /><br />AK Chappy

I would say look for a high school or a lake. Should be a show around those areas. Continue having an uneventful trip and get here safe.<br />Bassy<br />Edit: Here is place in Sacramento you might like to check out:<br />City: Sacramento<br />Date: 07/04/2005<br />Location: Cal Expo 1600 Exposition blvd. 95815<br />Price: Free!

Re: CA or bust!!

I am definitely not moving here by choice.<br />We got in to Nevada City last night. We came on into Yuba City and Marysville today. It is tooooooooooooo hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />I already want to leave.<br />We did have an uneventful trip after all. <br />Thanks for the tip Bassy. We will look at that and try to figure out what time they are supposed to be shooting them off.<br /><br />I am keeping my AK residency, not because of the PFD, but because I plan on retiring up there.<br /><br />Right now, I just want to relax. 4,300 miles in 5 days is a long trip.<br /><br />Thanks LD for the offer. I will have to take a week off and come up that way.<br /><br />AK Chappy

Re: CA or bust!!

I'm glad it worked out for you,Chappy. Glad I could help. <br />Enjoy your time here in California. Yeah it gets hot up there, as well as here. Find a body of water and you'll find some relief. And you have lots of water to choose from up there. Its all over. <br />Bassy

The best ever Striper run on the Sac is happening.<br />If it continues, two Salmon and two Striper a day.
