ramps can be dangerous at elsinore

So did anyone see this. Be careful when launching your stuff.

Ohhh! Damn-it, that's terrible... I guess that ruined their nice afternoon at the lake?

what is the story ??? the ramps at lake elsie are pretty mild..

(more_betterness)

I have no clue about the real story I heard it from a few people.

I heard the guy backed up all the way to his front tires and got out to do something and then it just started to roll back and floated away.

I feel really bad because that is my worst fear. I hope I never have to expierence that first hand.

So, there is a trailer attached too?

That is funny and sad.

damn... He must have been launching at the north side ramps, I know you have to back in really far
to get the trailer underwater cause the ramps are
not very steep..We now launch at the city ramp. Much better ramps.

"It needed to be washed, the curtains were dirty" oh wait we are talking Elsinore water ewwwwww. What happenend there is actually very common. People sink their vehicles all the time. Do not ever trust a parking brake, especially drums in reverse.

Looks to me like he is in front first. Wonder what he was up to.

Dan,

Sorry dude! I will make a copy right now. Hey! Where are my CD's? j/k

Lots going on. I will call you.

As far as the ramp, am I wrong, or did that motorhome go in front first?

Buzz ~ I think it's just floating better in the back.If you look in the front,you can see that the ramp is that way.

Yea Ed, you are probably right. I am not familiar with the shoreline to know which way is up. Pretty much sucks either way!

It isn't sitting level and probably throws a crappy wake. I'm thinking that a couple of Fat Sacs next to the bed should do the trick...
