I spent many a day in Sports Valley playing pool while Dad and his buddy held down the bar stools talking shit with the bar tender. I think it was a fella named Wayne.

We stayed in those condos to the right in the picture most of our trips back then.

Any pictures of a place called "Tom's" or "Tom's Landing", it was up by the dam I believe? My parents used to camp there in the 60's.

Now that's my old stopping ground. In 1969 I did a barefoot run through the small channel. Dick and July Johnson had it and I ran with there kids. Danny Churchill ran with a girl with the last name of Wilson, cousin to a gal I went to school with in Rialto, Cherri Wilson. Camped there and moved to the river in 1968 with my parents, great time in high school. Had a few problems attending school when I had offers to ski instead. A few names Last names I remember are Graham, Swicktenburg (sp.), Voss, Haraka. I know I have some video, have to check with parents on pics.
