My version says there were 34 $50 bills in the wallet. At least that's what some dude at some lake said when he showed them to me. Man, was he trippin; headed to the valley with his lode.
That was the week of April 4 1977, probably the 5th or 6th. Bumped into Roger Banister (RIP) on the trail that day, as well as others left unnamed. Camped downstream with a party of gold diggers with a warm fire.

I think your take on Jack sounds about right. He once marched AGAINST the war protesters back in New York

Lois weren't you previously asked to stay clear of this thread?
This event was an iconic moment in US climbing history and you have no idea what you are talking about. Stick to the political threads where no one cares how much drift you create.

Sorry LEB it wasn't this thread it was the South Face of Half dome thread.
Still, thread drift is a terrible thing. Please avoid it if you can.
The US legal system may have a statute of limitations but the drug cartels do not. They have a looooong memory. Many people have a fair reason to be nervous.
Licky, the black book was destroyed right?

Ok...time for some facts.
First off Lois, you are the one that is speculating. If you read this thread from the get go you will learn the answers to many of your questions. I have posted in the past.
Jon Glisky and Jeff Nelson knew exactly what they were hauling. They had been doing this for five years. The plane was one of five that Glisky had owned. Not one at a time, but at the same time. At one point in their past they had attempted to set their own record at 14 trips in 14 days just to see if they could do it.
As for letting the dead lay. It was Jon's wife Pam that first approached me to start a book about their drug running days. It was no secret, but the rumors (as you have speculated) turned into facts after they had been told enough times, and they in turn turned into history. Most either totally bogus or modified into something unbelievable. Such as "...maybe they didn't know what the cargo was." Maybe is the operative word.
I can appreciate everyone sitting around spinning yarns about what might have gone on. The story really does have some great twists and turns that can stand by themselves without embellishing.
Lois, email works pretty well...js

"I just wish they did not have to die so young over something as worthless as drugs."
My guess is that they died due to a problem with airframe/flight and it had nothing to do with what they were carrying. Just more speculation.
Didn't know what they had in the hold? Yeah.....sure. caveman

LEB,
Please quit babbling.
You are making us wonder which drug you are on.

Seconded (with extreme prejudice).
For God's sake Lois, please read this thread from the start, and you'll see how out of place
and absurd your ramblings are...
LEBization™, indeed!

I'd rather die in plane wreck hauling pot then on the 405 going to work. Now, that would truly be sensless

" LEB-ization of this thread is really thoughtless "
LEB-ization is never thoughtless, it is a tangent and often hard to 'get' at first. Try to keep up, it's worth it.

And there was thunder......thunder......over thunder road. Thunder was their engines and ganja was their load.
Public service if you ask me.
Maybe the Sierra is different but you drop a load in the woods here'bouts then the locals own it...maybe you too. They won't consider it stealing.

I think if I where you I'd write something else, before you get yourself or anyone else in trouble."
Is there some "karl" that's planning on writing something? The OP's name was rick.
Peace

Lois posted: "As for the widow (or rather one of the widows), it has come to my attention that you are now married to her and she is having a good life with you. That is a very good thing and I am glad that the story appears to be having a happy ending. I will be reading your book once it comes out so hurry up and publish it."
First,I hate to put water on your continued speculation, but we are not married. Never have been, probably never will be.
Second, there have not been any comments about widow(s), so again, it is a reach to assume there is a second widow rather than to simply ask.

"we are not married. Never have been, probably never will be."
Now, how evocative is that?
