thanks for the pulls Chuck! You and Brandon are great hosts, and top notch teachers as well. Sorry, I do not have better photos. Maybe Brandon or Mitch can post up more from this weekend. Here is what we started with. Brandon starting the day Chuck riding what? Chuck killing it with bad foot. Here is what we ended the day with well worth the drive through the smoke and fire to get up there. Looking forward to my next trip up. edid- can someone move this to the proper topic please? oops.

Brandon is a great Guy to ride with, one of the first that invited me out when I moved to L.A.

I wouldn't say that Bakersfield is "heaven on earth" but I would say that it has itself a few nice private lakes! Aside from the deathly odor it blows at you coming from cow pies and steaming crap, I'd say it's alright. But, if it weren't for those lakes, I'd call that place the "Arm pit of California" It's definitely not a pleasant feeling getting punched in the face with puke-ish scents at 8am out on the water.

Manteca is the armpit of the CA. Bakersfield is the pit stains. Now being down wind from Norco is the odor of death.

Having a private lake would be nice. But guess what... You still have to be in Bakersfield! Might as well slit your wrists!

What's the matter with you people?! Bakersfield is a great place to live. Maybe you haven't actually spent any length of time here. I can certainly think of worse places to live than Bako. Randy-- No T to B just yet; only tryed it once though. Soon enough! Andy-- When you gonna be back in CA? Hit me up man. Phantom-- Thanks for clarifing where the real armpit is. Trigo-- Thanks for the post. I have some pics that I will get to you soon.

u guys are lucky you still have water in ur lake. me and the carrols lake wolf lakes cut off water about 2 months before the contract season was over and told us to basically get over it. they're too cheap to pump the water it. i guess that the 3 grand i pay isn't enough for them to supply the water for the rest of the season if the canal gets shut off.

Brandon and Chuck! I wanna come out...Did you say it'd be cool to bring my dog? My beagle Buddy would be stoked to get out of the city and run around. Plus, I need to get revenge in cornhole against Brandon! (If you don't know what it is....it's not what you're probably thinking...sickos! ). I can't believe you're only 1.5hrs away and I still haven't made it out. What's the water temp like right now? Looks like the high today is gonna be mid 70s? Is that pretty much how it's been? Hit me up guys...I'd love to get a few more runs in before it get's too cold...I think I'm getting past the age where I push the 100 air/water rule. It's more like 130 now! HA!

Sunday huh? I am going to be heading back from Fresno that morning. If its cool I would like to hit it with you guys and get abused again. And bakersfield might be the pits but Chucks lake is my idea of heaven! I think it might be cold air temp this weekend. Water temp will probably be 57 to 60 but the air temp is dropping.

I challenge anyone to a game of cornhole!!! Wish I could make it this weekend but having a pre Thanksgiving Thanksgiving bash (with many games of cornhole). Maybe we can get a remote game going?? How do you guys score? Count hangers?

Seth, do you know Chuck & Brandon? If not, you should. You would appreciate the setup Chuck has, glass water and a slider that is a ton of fun to hit. I'd be careful though, Brandon is a ringer at cornhole. I've only seen him beat by one person.

I'm glad to call Bako home! Born there, and lived there for 4 years, and go back almost every summer and winter. not the best place in California, but still one of my favorite places to go!
