Hose A
Dan Schat had a very pretty Red-headed Sister that married Richard Nelson. When I was in Montana I ran across her, she had a Tea Shop in downtown
Musuolla. She and richard had split and she had remarried and was moving to Hawaii.
I have a picture of Mt. Tom where Richard Nelson killed a 170 lb.Deer, picked it up and carried it off of Mt. Tom
Sure is good to hear about Bishp!

For Skeet:
No, Skeet, I don't re-call that lake. We fished the stream that ran thru Camp. I remember Fales Hot Springs that was nearby. We'd go there to
soak and wash off the dirt. (In the beginning this was Aug-Sep) At the barber shop you were able to get a haircut and drink beer at the same time.
Just had to remember to keep your thrumb over the bottle opening.
My God !!! A three pound, 3 oz Golden. How in the world did you manger to cram two and a half pounds of sinkers down his craw ? Just kiddin",
what a brute ! How close to a State record ? During all the fishing in that wonderful area it was just as satisfying tying into a eight inch Brookie
ar six inch Golden as any saltwater fish. Someone on this board or another sums it all up for me when he posts "It's not the catchin' but the fishin"

This has nothing to do w/all the folks you are talking about but a few years back I was hiking out of Onion Valley and up thru Kearsarge pass and I
will have to say that was beautiful, but cold, country....... that God for jungle juice, though, those skeeters were tearing it up in late August.

Ole Farts have the Money-young have the Desire
Ronnie Rock Cod:
I was in the company of an  le time fisherman" named Otto masstellar" he and I
walked into the lake on a small road. he was a Hundred feet are so above me when I hollared that I caqught a Golden. He told me I had better have it
stuffed as I would never see another that size. packed it is ice and carried it to Jim at Brocks.. My office was in the second storu diectly across
theStreet from Brocks, had Coffe with him and all the locals a couple of times a week..
I am going to Google and see if,I can bring up the Map of the Lake.
Also I did some fishin south of La Conte Canyon and caught many goldens of about a lb. with very large Mouths and small bodies.. that was at 11,000
Feet.
I think the Calif. Record for a Golden was 5 Lbs, with the national out of Montana at 8lb 9oz.
Hose A
As you say the miles on our ole bodies wears them thin but does not take the gleam out of our Eyes as we think about the many things we have done, the
Scrapes, the Pleasures, always enjoying the New and different.
Oh if more youngsters would lay down their Game Boys and take a trip up to Bishop for a couple of weeks
Even ole Charlie Manson liked the Area around Independence.
How about some Ole Farts Adventues???

Mrchuck
We were required to climb a horrendous dirt, uphill, trail to Saddlebacks Lake. USMC (Uncle Sam's Mountain Climbers ?) Not long ago I saw an
image on the net and there is now a paved road all the way to the top. Buildings, boat rentals, etc.
Fortunate that so many of us have pleasant memories of Bishop and surrounding areas and that others have such intimate knowledge of such a
small. but wonderful, place. Somehow the phase "It's a small world" certainly applies here ! RRC

Ronnie; My Memory is coming back, I think the small lake on the way to the marine base was called Rosevelt.
It was a brood lake.

This is a great thread. I have lots of family in Bishop,CA also. My aunt & uncle run Rossi's Staeak & Spaghetti in Big Pine. I have another
uncle that runs Bartlett Training Center out in Hammil Valley. Finally I have another aunt that lives right outside Bishop on that Pleasant Valley
plateau development just to the west of the reservoir. It's great country up there. I'd love to buy some property up there myself, but ever since
Intrawest has been turning Mammoth into the next Vail,CO the prices of land and homes have skyrocketed.
