OUCH!!! SHANGHAIED AGIN!!!!!
Sounds like you were the one hanging with glen whatever-his-name-was – I knew him in hi school and ditched him soon after, in Yosemite . . .after he turned. He wasn’t so bad earlier, maybe because he didn’t sport the ranger badge. I guess you had to know him in the valley, which meant you were the dweeb I said you must have been. Loser. When did you show up, ’76? What were you then, like eighteen and a half? Tried to run with cool older guys and wound up getting burned by glen fitz-paul? Loser. Did ya get a little plane weed did ya? Wow, that must have been like the most coolest thing ever, huh? Even if it hurt your lungs, hey, it was free, right? Loser. Thought anyone who you didn’t see the day you were there never went? Never made it past the village store, so anyone from the east side of the valley must not have been cool like you, huh? Loser. Could you drink at the mt. room, or did they get hip to your fake ID? Loser. Shanghai, you bore me, and if anyone finds your crap interesting, then good for you and yours. Loser. Why would anyone give out anything because you were dissing them? Another loser. Eat shyt shanghai, just like something you scrounged off a tray in the lodge caf . . . before you got all rich and stuff after the plane – or were you on the curry co. meal plan? Loser. Didja get the curry hurries?

and no, i'm not rox, chainsaw, glenpaul or related - you guys crack me up, do you watch game shows too?

Not that anyone is counting sid, but you're up to 128 posts on this thread. Do you like anything in life? What song are you listening to right now?

Mama told me not to come
That ain't no way to have fun, son

^good to hear. I've been told that I waste too much time hereabouts, but that it appears that I enjoy what I'm doing.

Was wondering if the lake has ever been scuba-dived by civilians, not to find more pot perse, but for the hell of it. Would seem a good chapter idea for an author too.

Happy Frik'n Friday Night all...

Had dinner with Pam, the pilot's wife last night. More stories and some photos from their old days. Him in Viet Nam as a pilot. Great stuff.

Well like I've said many times. Sidmo, I don't think you were ever up at the lake. You have nothing to offer up.
And, I don't think you have ever writen a published piece. Can't put it any tighter than that can I?

So what? You had dinner with the widow, so you obviously know everything. She must be pleased with the glacial pace of your project.We're all so proud of your judgement and insight. Good lick Lucky, you’re gonna need it.

uh ric. you mispelled written as writen. I've offered proofreading and editorial assistance in the past. I hope you're working the Howlin' Wolf/blues angle like I suggested.

and

In 1977 a plane loaded with dope crashed into Lower Merced Pass Lake.

1. Marijuana (which I believe in my heart to be the cargo) is not dope.
2. Is it being said that it was dope to transport marijuana in the late '70's?
3. Dopey was actually the smartest of the seven dwarves.
4. Snow White on the other hand is considered by many to be good dope.
5. I believe that it is alleged that:

1. A plane crashed
2. It had a cargo, or colloquially, it was loaded
3. The plane landed on or crashed in a lake
4. That lake was not Lake Crowley as far as can be ascertained
5. But, more probably, was Lower Merced Pass Lake (herein 'Lake')
6. A senior pass was not then, and is not now, required to visit Lake
7. Many seniors, juniors, stonemasters, allegedly visited Lake
8. Along came Jones and emptied the trash, then
9. Everybody made it on down to The Million Dollar Bash

Excuse me, just let me play my guitar for a minute while I procrastinate.

That's the abridged version, stay tuned for the august August, 2012 release of the book.

I'm still having trouble with the airplane fuel/gasoline in the lake being enough to contaminate the mj, not only to leave a smell, but to poison people and give them a headache - normally when gas evaporates there isn't much of anything left. It's just a strange detail that doesn't add up for me.

Good to see you again Bullwinkle. Man, I gotta go to that place again. The
enchiladas were fantastic! Keep in touch.

Warbler..the plane was upside down in the deep end of the pool. Any dope that floated to the surface sat there until guys like sidmo plucked them out. Of course sidmo waited until the coast was clear to run up and grab his stash. The wait time resulted in the dope absorbing the fuel/oil. But then sidmo can speak to this. I'm just a third party. He claims to know all about what went on up there. Stay tuned for his next post.

I would leave out the part about people getting poisoned from the gasoline residue. It doesn't make sense. They used to spray paraquat on marijuana back then. I wonder if that's what made people sick?

Don Paul, smoking gasoline could be very detrimental to your health. Just
inhaling the fumes is deemed dangerous. Even late into the flight the Howard
should have had a couple hundred gallons left in the tanks.

Months later, most of the gasoline would have evaporated.

Hmmm, under the ice in the cold I'm thinking not so much plus the residue
is still gonna be there. But I'm not a chemist.

You could be right Reilly, and apparently there are people would attest to the contamination. I think sidmo said the weed would actually catch on fire because of the residual gasoline. Take a rag in your garage and soak it in gasoline. Leave it on the floor and come back a couple days later. Now put a match to it and see if there's any gas left. I havent tried this but I expect it would have all evaporated.

As the Warbler said, Tests were done. . .Some of the Weed had Fuel still in it, you could taste it and sometimes the Joint would Flare up when hit.

That’s right Lick, you’re a third party so you don’t know shyt – and what’s all this “waited until the coast was clear” crap about? Are you sneering at anyone who was careful? Who are you to sneer Licky, have you done anything even remotely dangerous? Have you even done a risky climb? And if you're waiting for guys to finish debating whether plane joints spontaneously combusted into flame while being toked, well then you’re just too stupid to know when the truth hits you upside the head. Just keep wasting your time belaboring the obvious and that book you’re supposedly writing will remain as elusive as your good judgment. Your ignorance remains as your greatest obstacle.

Hey! It must have finally have rained or is.

Sidmo; Your ignorance/stupidity remains as your greatest asset.
Oh! No OUCH!!!!! SHANGHAID AGIN!!!!!!!!

Don’t drink Gin. Ever play for Curry on their baseball games since you were a MCA company man. For sure never made it to the Camp 4 and Park Rangers games. The good ones.

Edit: Let’s see: No shyt head what a DUMBASS, obviously know everything, DUMBASS not a MCR man i "i" was ……….. but will let you finish it in your small make-believe world.

And since you are wasting Rick's time as well as mine you should be happy since you just don’t get it; so bye bye, so long take it easy, write, send a postcard, UPS, fax, Fedex, email, imail, youmail. no responds from me.
