      That is something that I've wanted to do with my Sea Doo's ever since I saw an article about it in a magazine, years ago. But I've never done it. I hope to try it sometime when the water is up. My brother went up into the Canyon, but I think that it is illegal for PWC to go up there now, not sure though.

        Whitlock87's post of Lake Castaic reminded me of my roots in So. Cal. Here is a google earth view of my favorite place to boat (jet ski) when I was growing up.


        L.A. Harbor, Pacific Ocean. (Hometown Rancho Palos Verdes on the left).

          That's a cool picture of Elsinore, it's been over 25 years since I've been there.

            Do other So. Cal. lakes have the same boundaries?
            Yes they limit the number of boats, but I do not what that number is.
            Only on holidays does it get that full.

            And no most lakes do not have the restrictions on jet skis like Castaic does.
            Castaic is run by LA County. They only have one other ski lake (Bonellie park) and on that lake they won’t let boats and jet skis on the lake at the same time.
            So boats go on even days and jet skis on odd days.

                    I looked at my house, and it still had my old roof on it.
                    I changed the roof back in 2004.

                      Yes, it does get choppy, especially later in the afternoons, when the wind picks up. At about the halfway point of the lake, the mountains to the west form a valley, and the wind can really whip through there. Best chances for smooth water are right after the lake opens at 8am. The water tends to be on the warmer side though, so even with the wind, it's nice in the water.

                          Being a geography major working with GIS in school right now, I'll atry to answer that. They are supposedly up to three years old, and some of them as old as five years. There are some areas that have brand new imagery though like the New Orleans area or the area of Pakistan that had that huge earthquake last year.

                            Here is one of my favorite finds on Google Earth. What the heck is this Delta Jet doing sitting in the middle of the marsh, and why is it so big. Maybe cause it is flying at 35k feet or so???

                              That's awesome. I will bet that is a rare find.
