My shop teacher was saying something about a cardboard boat race on
the California river in July. A friend I want to enter but a google
search; "California river" "cardboard boat" only returns 2 results,
neither has any usefull information. Can anybody tell me more about
this contest? and if not, are there any other cardboard boat
competitions in southern California?

Use groups.google.com, not www.google.com, and search this newsgroup.
A few threads toward the beginning of this month, with subjects
"Cardboard boat results"
"Cardboard pics" and the like... just use "cardboard" as your search
keyword.

Some of the posts were binary posts (in error) to a text-only newsgroup;
your
news server's mileage may vary (i.e. you might not see them at all.) But
the
other threads should pop up.
