APRIL 19 SACRAMENTO CLAM BAKE RUN

SACRAMENTO

 


La Revage and Scotts Seafood says they will be ready for us to come check out the new docks and facility.  The south 1/2 portion of the docks both inside and outside will be open to the public.  We will leave Discovery Park at 11am.

Everyone is invited to come check out this new place in Sacramento.

 

   
MAY 10 &
MAY 24
FOLSOM LAKE FOLLIES

FOLSOM LAKE

 


Folsom Follies first two gatherings of the year will be May 10 & 24.

Fun day and possibly night on the lake for taking some runs and hanging out before the brilliant water wizards drain the lake again.

The KING will be holding court for those that still have not received their Folsom blessings. Pasties available upon request.

Come join in for some fun. Staying over night requires filling out a card with the rangers and possibly a small fee, can't remember. It is really cool to spend the night on the hook up by the rapids.

If we have enough who want to we can BBQ on some beach maybe. If someone wants to organize it jump in and lets "geterdone".

Anyone got some fun ideas for competitive games in pastie cove besides pole dancing?

Who's up for a gathering at pastie cove???????????
