I was there sort of, I twisted my ankle, up Tenaya Cyn, so I drove my buds to the trail head, and lets say I wasn't paid in gas. Of course I got the book. Haven't toasted in years, one time after I quit I had like one hit and it was like I was on acid, wow, that was it!

t*r...If I published the book now, and there were facts that were
either missing or incorrect, what would be your reaction? This book
isn't going to be a novel. Its going to be a historical book based
on facts that have been supported by many interviews as well as documented
reports. Anyone can take an event and crank out a comic book. Thats
not what I'm doing and I'm sure those that follow this thread seriously
don't want me to do so either. So hang in there, its coming together
as we speak.
I don't blow smoke.....as they say!

I always wondered if they would make a movie about that one.
Maybe Kevin Costner to play Rockjox?

Jaybro, I think you might be on to something. How about everyone chime in on who they think ought to play them if Hollywierd shows an interest.

I just watched the movie with Kevin Bacon and Merrill Steep where they were going down white water. She was the heroin and he was the villain. He was great in that roll as the insane bad guy.

Found a guy that had dinner with the two pilots the night prior
to the fateful crash. I'll be spending a day shortly with him to
get his story about the discussion that went on that evening.

Licky you sure are doing great with your investigation! Maybe this guy that had dinner with "the guys" knows Randy MHead? Maybe you can get four hours of tape from this guy, too? Guaranteed that dinner did not take place the night before. Let me know where they stayed that night and had dinner and what they actually ate for dinner because I know a little bird that chirped in my ear some of the facts you so dearly want....Better put this is one of your "fantasy only" chapters....But interesting reading non the less. Still love your effort and always will! Your factual chapters will be your strong points...Going back to the "bond" thing...you coming up here for other business and me spending $367.00 on a meal for two chance meetings does not constitute, as far as I am concerned, a "bond". People putting their lives on the line everyday for each other for many years....and I know many following this thread will never understand because everyone has their own version of a "bond" but I know the one we had and it can never be equaled. I also know Pam, even though their marriage was not doing well at the time, knows the bond I am talking about....I am not sure you have grasped that Licky but I may be wrong? Please do not think bad of me for my outburst.....I only want the best for you and all of the time you have invested in your project will be very interesting reading....B.

There will always be facts missing and incorrect. You can work on this thing for another 20 years and you still won't have "all the facts." You will never have "all the facts."
At some point you have to decide whether you are enjoying a lifetime hobby, or writing a book.

I'll not turn this thread into a rant nor a response to a troll.
And Ghost, there are still quite a few loose ends that I'm trying
to tie up. Have you ever tried to write a historical book?
Our friend Badness is part of the wild goose chases
that I have been sent on. They are time consuming, expensive, and
frustrating. I guess they are just part of the territory.

Licky, the offer still stands if you want a free edit. I go back to work in San Jose tomorrow. Not sure if you are still located there. (I'm the one who edited the Pat Tillman book.)
