    Rough Weekend

    Went out on Saturday to a little place called Lake Webb in Bakersfield. Had never been there before, but the people I was taking out said they had gone in the past and enjoyed it. I should have considered their limited experience when considering the lake suggestion. That place was a mad house!! I am amazed that someone doesn't die at that lake every day. I have never seen so many boats all pulling skiers/boarders/tubers in such a small place. The shore facilities are great, but being on the water was just taking your life in your hands.

    Anyway, on the way out to the lake I had a trailer tire blow up, then at the end of the day I wrapped my anchor line around my prop shaft. I also had a handful of other minor problems.

    I just did a bunch of maintenence and expected this to be a worry free day, but boy was I wrong!

    Sorry to hear it. It is very disapointing when you go through all the effort, and it dose't work out. However when it does go well, it sure is fun

      Murphy's Law is in effect. I'm glad no one got hurt out there.

        I grew up in SoCal and spent many weekends on "Buena Vista" from the age of 12 to about 19. It a crazy place, but usually better than Castaic or Pyramid, at least back then. Later when I bought my own boat, I think I was 27 or so, we mainly drove all the way to Lake Mead to get away from that.

        Now we live up here in NorCal, and Lake Oroville even on a Sunday at 2pm is not that crowded. ;-)

        My parents used to send me and a friend up in my truck when I was 17 to camp there on Wednesday, so that when they showed up on Friday, we would have a good spot. What the heck were they thinking? Man, the trouble we got into....

          At least it all happened on this little day trip so I can get it fixed before the long weekend trip coming up.

          I still am totally amazed that everyone survives that place.

            I really hate that lake. IT sucks on the weekends. Weekdaynights are nice though.
