    Moonridge marina parker

    Was looking for a place with "river/water access" years ago much like you are now. Walked homes in all the places discussed here and then stumbled across Marina Manor. I guess by now I'm a little biased, but for the price range you're talking about and the amenities offered it's pretty tough...

    All, I have been asked by the Games family to pass along a daily update on Andrew's condition. I will talk with them each day around 6pm and will post shortly thereafter. "Andrew had a good day today. He is progressing and resting well." The family appreciates your caring words and...

    Stopped at their house in Parker this morning to see what I could do to help since I knew they had boats in the water.

    Carlsbad Agua Hedionda lagoon History

    So I guess I left off in 1978... Like I said earlier, me and Rolf and the Snug Harbor Team were pretty competitive and had some fast equipment. I'm going to veer off lagoon history, for a bit because what happened the next 2 years ties back into it... End of Summer 1978 I got a call from...
