Plane weed was unpleasant AT the time
I don’t remember anyone concerned with longterm dangers
you’d have to actually smoke it to damage your body,
and none of us did because it smelled bad, tasted bad and
flamed on occasionally – maybe it was passed around those
C4 baseball games, I can’t say – I didn’t go to the valley
to play ball, or smoke shytty weed

I've read about "bales" of weed. What was the stuff wrapped in? I believe airplane fuel is highly toxic no matter how one comes into contact with it, though inhaling (isn't that huffing) or smoking would be probably worse that just washing your hands in it.
I found this up at the lake in 2003, but didn't think it was important enough at the time to notify anyone.
If you've ever brushed your teeth with Pepsodent, you'll sometimes take to wondering where the yellow went.

Just ran across this thread, or should I call it more of a Trans-Atlantic Cable?
Is there a Guinness Record for most posts/ longest timeline with new posts ongoing? Let's go for it!
Forget "Seven Years in Tibet" - try 7 years (wasted) in online typing exercises,instead of oh, maybe a PhD or Med School?
Second-generation posters are now carrying on the tradition their parents began, replying in good faith to Mr. Licky.
Statutes of limitations have run out for most crimes committed after posting to this thread - never mind the original crash and correlated activities.
In this time, Jon Krakauer has actually written a book that did NOT begin with "Into..."
Now, I fear the worst - Licky is he, a nom de plume, and yes, the book and feature film to star Sean Penn as Yabo, Danny Trejo as Bridwell (Fear His Wrath)will be titled ... (Oh, the Horror, wait for it...)
"Into Thin Ice"
Face the facts - sadly, noone except old climbers give a rat's ass about a 35 year old drug plane crash, which is why Jeff and John Long's tales were transmogrified into unrecognizable pulp fantasy starring Sly as the world's only shirtless ice climber.
It would appear that had your offer been genuine, and had you actually had any writing credentials, this all would have come together in print by now. The book would be shorter than the printout of this thread, perhaps containing some more specific factual details but in all likelihood less entertaining.
As Tony Soprano might have said, "Fugeddaboudit".

I always thought Sly was underappreciated, maybe that's why he's living in his car in LA. Aren't we all everyday people?
A 35-year old plane crashing is, in and of itself, interesting. They are supposed to be taken out of service before then.
Are we talking about Peter Noone here? He perhaps was overappreciated?
Has anyone ever seen a hermetically sealed rat's ass?
Wasn't this guy told to quit thinking about it and write something?

^Actually in the drug smuggling world 10 years is the rule while in bad economic times some might stretch it out to 30-35 (if the pilots are still alive and the 'organization' is still in business).
I guess the real question and one implicit in ric's book, is whether drugs and drug smuggling are good for people and society. Nietzsche on the other hand might be asking the same about sex and syphilis.
Nietzche also addressed eternal recurrence, which is the nature of this thread and which will be addressed in coming issues.

My only regret about this thread is the fact that it rolled over to a new page. Now when I click "last page" I will not see that hilarious picture of Sidmo choking his chicken in front of ST.

I've just spent the last hour going over all of sidmo's posts. I'm hard pressed to find a software program that could flow chart his ramble/rants. He claims to have not been up to the lake, not have brought down the dope,and not sold any of it, and yet he claims to have been in the thick of things. He rants that I'm nothing but third hand info (but of course, all of my info comes from interviewing those that were). In his emails to me he supports my effort.
Sidmo...are you ok?

Licky you are a moron
I never confirmed anything to you and won’t as long as you act like an ass, and I don’t have to – I’m under no obligation to you to confirm or deny – if you don’t think I know anything fine – I don’t care – I stopped wanting to help you years ago, because you simply don’t deserve help – if you think I was there, not there, or not alive it just don’t matter to me – I enjoy seeing you frustrated by a process that you do not respect enough to approach with humility and respect – you keep obsessing over details that are irrelevant and immaterial, and promote debate over ridiculous topics like whether or not plane joints spontaneously flamed, as if there was any debate among actual participants – there is more hearsay promoted on this thread than fact, and if you think you know more than guys who were in on the action then all I can say is that you are delusional and in love with yourself a bit too much – no one appointed you lord protector over the truth, as much as you would like to think that “writing a book” makes your opinion sacrosanct, anybody can claim to be a writer . . . I mean, you question my credentials and you have no idea whether you’re right or wrong – I have good reasons not to confirm anything to you, and if you don’t like that then you shouldn’t have acted so hostile – you could stop flaming anytime but for some reason you get a kick out of attacking me – I’m just a distraction to you, and could easily help you with this project but I choose not to – again, because you act like an ass – if it helps you to be in denial of your inability to coax info out of a potential source, so be it – you are a moron

I find your claim that "smugglers" only fly 10 year old or newer planes to be quite unbelievable.
I find it unbelievable that anyone would doubt such a spurious claim.
While not as much comes in via plane as in the old days, back then you could take a hike down to smugglers gulch and observe all the relatively newer (i.e. less than 10 year old) planes in action.
I know from personal conversation that the border swimmers (generally less than 25 pounds per load) who founded the Coronado Company would only use their (Churchill) fins for 6 months before retiring them. Additionally, the border hikers (as much as 50 pounds per backpack) rarely wore the same pair of boots on successive excursions, lest they become traceable through their unique (possibly as individualized as your DNA profile) Vibram souls.
Don't get me started on how many times surboards, VW buses, and Porsches traveled the circuit before ending up in the scrap heap.
The one thing I do not know is, though carried much less frequently BITD, what the life cycle of various guns was/is?

Is there any evidence that Sly Stone is not Sly Stallone and/or vice versa? Have you ever seen them both in a room at the same time?
I thought so. Don't let the clever disguises fool you. This is the same guy for sure.
And then he said hi, like a spider said to Sly jump right ahead in this web (abyss).
Oh yeah, and ric, any news on how the book is coming along?

As I've said before sidmo..you offer no stories, views, experience, or writing skills. God help us if you'd use your research skills to find info that could be used. The troll gets smacked. Come on back sailor

Sidmo is a glutton for punishment.
He's so stupid he punishes his own self.
No one else is doing it here.
Dumbest jackass ever.
He's so stupid he doesn't even realize we're all laughing at him for his stupidity .......
