Gold Lake

Just got back from a week at the lake. The campground spots all have water/beach access It rained one night leading to a spectacular Sierra Sunset Plumas National Forest Lakes Basin Recreation Area Reserved sites 26/29 have the best beach. Half of the other sites are first come first served. I reserve one or two nights and move to FFS once there. Had very good luck for the past 5 years

American Poetry The 19th Century

Picked this edition up at the local library book sale for $3. Especially like the American Indian Poetry and folk song lyrics. Was reading it on my recent camping trip to the Sierra where cell service is nonexistent

Terrawagen Bug Barrier Window Vent

Highly recommend these. They are pricey $205/pair but the build quality and fit is worth it. Ram Promaster, the Canoe Transporter. Also added the Mopar wind deflectors, which I also recommend as they attach to the door frame top with two clips and strong adhesive, for extra peace of mind than just adhesive alone types...

Dry Ice for Cooling or Freezing in Cooler

This schematic is on the dry ice box at local Safeway. I am particularly interested in the cooling scheme. Has anyone tried this? Is there a danger of freezing food instead of just cooling it?

Fredo's Aluminum Boat: Geographical Goof or AI Nonsense

The small aluminum boat that Fredo goes fishing on Lake Tahoe has the California registration CF 4654 AK registration required of all motor boats. Search Google for CF 4654 AK and AI calls it a geographic goof, which is total nonsense because the last two letters can be any two letters and it certainly doesn't signify Alaska. AI DO BETTER!

He said Ne-VA-da in Godfather II It’s pronounced

/nəˈvædə/ (nuh-VAD-uh) How it sounds: The middle syllable rhymes with "bad".

Gold Lake Campground, the best canoe camping spot

There was a sign Limit 1 per customer. I asked the cashier and she said they are only getting in 12/day. These are good basic sardines though I prefer the ones in olive oil in the purple tin. These are $1.49 up from $1.29 a year ago. Any other stores experiencing a shortage. My local TJs is Los Altos, CA

I am re-reading Moby Dick along with the audiobook narrated by William Hootkins that I got online from the local library. This is definitely one of the best audio renditions out there. Peter Coffin recommended his cousin Hosea Hussey's hotel The Try Tops in Nantucket to Ishmael and Queeqeg and said he was famous for his chowders. They ate both clam and cod chowder, and I immediately got a hankering to make some cod chowder which I found all the ingredients, including Pacific Cod at Trader Joes. It turned out amazing. Lots of great chowder recipes out there and I added a half a can of Guinness Stout to my recipe.
