Hey Bill My Uncle had a cabin near lake Topaz. Are you familiar
with the area?

Yeah Joe... I know of the area to some extent. I'm a retired freight
hauler (30 years with Western Gillette/Roadway Express) and for
awhile had a bid run from our L.A. terminal to Reno.

Needless to say we were basically routed up 395 unless the snow
got to heavy... then we would go by way of Fallon out of Bishop.

But I still remember those trips down through Walker Canyon and
that casino by Lake Topaz. A lot of us would take a break there
at that casino.

I know the lake use to be good for fishing... but at this moment I'm
not very knowledgeable about small craft capabilities. I think I will
do a "Google" on Lake Topaz and bring myself up to speed on the
boating issue.

It might be a nice location (summer time that is) for a person with a
"Mac" type set up.

I also have a buddy from work... that retired and bought a cabin
up there.

Thanks for commenting about that locale... it brought back some
old memories. Most of which were very pleasant... with the except-
ion of the time I went off the road and crashed a few miles north of
Bridgeport and dumped my trailer loaded with car batteries in the
Walker Creek. Now days there would have been Hell to pay... but
back then the hazmat issues were not being dealt with like they are
today.

Best regards

Bill

P.S. And Scotty don't you be saying nothin about us card carrying
freight haulers. (smile)
