Dying to hear about the Forebay!

[Jay Murakoshi]

Jay,

This isn't across the border, it's right down the road from you. This happens to be the O'Neill Forebay. I've also seen them around the Yuba river during the hot days. But O'Neill and San Luis has a good population.
My son has a Boa that's getting bigger. He feeds it large mice or small rats. That thing is so quick when it strkes. And to watch it swallow those things whole

What a world

Jay, you're not helping -- Jay was talking about the Oregon border!

I was wondering about the shot because you have taken some nice macro shots of flies before. The maylfy shot was very shallow as well. I don't have any acro expeireence with an SLR, only a point&shoot style camera. I would imagine that an SLR requires more work.

It's much easier to take a picturew of a sationary fly then a moving spider. I would love to won a digital SLR and a macro lens, macro shots are cool. Keep up the picture taking Jay.

Mikes right. I was talking about the cal/ore border. It wouldnt suprise me a bit to see something like that in Mex. I have had several boas and pythons (much fewer in the last 16 1/2 years......since I've been married) Snakes have always totally intrigued me and I still love 'em.

A few were there.

Some waited and some fished.

Ken getting "the shot"!

Some of the crew getting pointers......like don't get the sting in the propeller thingie!

This IS all we managed to catch.

We sure do miss our girl!

Lots of grand BS'ing. A BIG thanks for Ken and Jay being there ALONG with all the others.

Hey Jay,

I only know one border and that's the southern border, sorry. Hell, I've only been across the northern border twice. Once when I was looking at property in Bend and the other time was last year when I went to British Columbia. Opps there was another time and that's when I did my basic training at Ft Lewis but I'd rather forget that 4 months of hell.

Eeeyyyuuuukkk. Nice photo's JM but damn , what an an awful subject. I would have to be knocked out to let one of those things crawl on me. I enjoy all critters and snakes and even had a very large pet rattle snake once but I draw the line on bugs. When I was a kid we lived in the hills out of El Toro in So Cal and we had those things. I didn't know they were as far north as the ForeBay. I'm with Jbird and glad they aren't north of the Cal border.

I think it's mating season. Yesterday at Eastman lake, I saw at least 20 tarantula's crossing parking lots, streets and patios. I saw this huge one crossing a road, so I grabbed the digital, stopped the truck and ran back to try and get a couple shots of this thing. I was laying right in the middle of the road, getting ready to focus when this car crept up on me. Scared the crap out of me. The driver thought I was hurt. They got out and noticed I was trying to get a photo. As he was walking back to the car, I heard him mumble something. The spider was moving to fast to get a clear shot.

What we do for a photo

too funny!!

Jay, given your recent trolling motor experiences, I don't think you should be lying down in the middle of any roadways.
