Geezuz. Doesn't anybody have writer's block? I've done the same thing. Get all excited about some historical research I've done, talked a little big about putting out a book and then just fallen into despair when it comes to putting pencil to paper. Research is the only thing that inspires me and is exciting. The big let down is when you realize there ain't gonna be no book coming out of me. But that's no crime. Just because you talked big doesn't mean you owe it to anybody to complete something. I've still got rooms in my house that haven't been touched in decades. He doesn't owe anybody anything.

Its been more than ten years and still no book.

Just click on the "First" button at the top of any page of this thread and you'll see that it is not ten years, but almost twelve.

And Skidmark. You should just continue sliding down the hole I sent you towards after leaving my anus; the best place youve ever known. Now go.

Hey ski bummy, if there's a guy crawling out of your butt check his ID cause he ain't me. See, I've like got a girlfriend and stuff. She won't let me move to Montana and turn all gay like you. Maybe you can be a dental floss tycoon there, but here you're just another queer. And one in bed with Licky. Better get tested, butt-buddy. And if you get writers block like Licky take your time responding. We don't care what you faggots think or why you stink. Something to do with that infected "anus" perhaps.

Is there going to be a forty year reunion?

I'd suggest holding off until the fiftieth!

By then it will be possible to 3D print memorabilia and the book will be in it's third re-printing and most here will be no longer able to read, let alone type or wipe themselvex

WHAT PHUCKING BOOK? Thought we told ya there ain't gonna be no book. Not about the plane and not penned by Licker. Never. No ink will be shed on this topic by the moron who started this threadbare blog. Hes lying to you, me, Lottie, Dottie and Everybody. Figure it out folks. He's no more a writer than he is a climber. Look the whole appeal of the plane story is that an "illegal" substance of value in quantity was found by poor people. Well it's no longer illegal. So a generation of kids will wonder what all the fuss was all about. A pot plane going down will be no more interesting than if a potato truck does an endo on Hwy 99. YAWN!!!!!!!!

And before you hipster haters blast me as homophobic, checkout Skibummy's profile pic full size. Is that photo not gay? Not surprising that he alludes to things coming out of his "anus." must be the 'ludes. 714 and out.

The post I made about law enforcement who was reading about the 77 crash on the taco may have been deleted. I was directly contacted by a Tuolemne co detective when I revealed that the pot was actually grown in california. The story that is told in Stanislaus is that the growers always bagged their harvest to look like it came from south of the border to protect themselves if their couriers get caught. You could buy those sacks at Eucalyptus records in Davis or Berkely. This is a murder investigation and will be until it gets solved. Ask people who live around the Columbia airport near Sonora. They will confirm local lore that the load originated in california and was flewn out of Columbia airport. If the plane really came from south of the border then: why was it full of fuel? How did it avoid radar to enter US airspace during the high terror alert that occurred when the hostages were taken in Iran? If noone was fighting (shooting) in the cockpit then why did it crash? I was advised by an army ranger who was a former us marshal that the licky book thing on supertaco is likely a federal murder investigation. I never claimed to be at the lake. I was nine years old. I remember the YMCA camp run by valley climbers in curry village ci1977 because I was a camper there. Those guys flaked and didnt run any of the activities we were promised. Instead, they took off and went climbing and got stoned all day while unsupervised children ran amok. That was the year that toothpaste and chapstick were banned in the park because a bear attacked a girl wearing cherry chapstick. Dont believe a word that licky says. HE is the real troll here, and many of us fell for his bullsh#t.

If you want to, ask licky about road 96A, the wharehouse, the king air and the osprey. Dangerous Dan and the Hotdogger. Now those planes were going south and back and they got caught. Their cargo wasnt green though.

Wonder how Lick responds to Saw's pointed points. Bet he attacks my moronic and sophmoric unsubstantive rants and ignores this latest cord of firewood Chainsaw cut for him to burn through - probably can't reply without clearing it with his superiors. I doubt they let Rittle Licky play with matches. 
But Timidity can't let go of the whole jack off handjob thing. Even if he was right jackass did me a favor by keeping her habits off my tab. Let him pay her gratuity. And let Little Timmy scurry up safely on his well-belayed top rope. And then ride his bike home with those adorable training wheels. Don't forget your helmet son.

Just to reset your calendar. The hostages were taken on Nov. 4, 1979. The plane crashed in 1977.

My analysis concludes that the plane most likely avoided the increased radar scrutiny from that terror alert by flying (and crashing) two years prior to the Iran Embassy takeover.

Carry on.

Back then it didn't take a Bob Hoover to fly under the radar.

We were on high alert long before the hostages were taken. Those were the days of many hijackings. Yes the hostages were taken after the crash. But the Ayatola Khomeni was well into his game. Was the planes transponder disabled? Where they flying VFR without VOR navigation? Nav radio VOR off? Just wingin it along the coast? Hmmmm

In semi-private communications, Ric has told me he's altering his schedule to get the book out sooner so that nobody has to wade through the boring sheeit that's getting posted here these days.


Scavengers on the Lower Merced Pass lake should have invested in some of the technology pioneered by the CC.



This mofo made more money than the whole group of folks involved in the 1977 affair combined ever even dreamed of, even when high. Musta been a fag, eh?




Redeeming social value of drug-running? Ask some of the really successful practitioners. If they don't be dead.

Of course the transponder was off, but that was legal back then. I can't believe they weren't using every nav aid available as they were pros and nav aids aren't gonna give you away. They weren't lost they just had a catastrophic mechanical or structural failure.
