You have an excuse if you did !! :sqeyes:
I picked up some fuel at Willow, although I think I could have made it back no problem. Just not used to the fuel tank readings yet.
Dan, beautiful boat you have there and look forward to an ocean run or two later in the year. Nice to meat you and Derek.

There were many obstacles to over come. But we did and we were determined NOT to let it ruin our weekend...

Scream's friends, Frank and Kelly, in the black and red laser ran out as well about 4 miles up from Cottonwood. He hasn't had his boat very long and we all jonesed on the small fact that the second half is a lot smaller than the first in a v-hull. oops :eek:

No i didn't run out, i'm going back there in a couple of weeks so i'll see how it does then,
I have a question is the water level always that high i noticed that up by the dam it got a little shallow and i would hate to tear up the props or drives when i go back up there.
depending on water release from the dam it does get shallow at times Dan...
Its usually pretty obvious what its doing.
Some areas that were buried when we were up there sat I've seen as an island before
