We were riding double on my friend's 4 wheeler but I got off before he drove over the open crack pulling two clam shelters. He was safely on the other side but now I had to get across. I walked south toward shore along the crack hoping to find a spot where the crack came together or something like that.......it didn't so I jumped across it without incident. I had a throw bag attached to my back pack I was wearing. Had I been thinking I would have tossed it across the crack to my friend, tied the other end around me and THEN jumped across the crack........... I won't forget that.
SOUTH wind predicted for Saturday....... I notified my friends that I'm not going this weekend. Few years ago I was out of Crane Creek driving across the near shore crack & plywood all month, and even the day before the flow broke. Buds wanted me to go again that day, Saturday, with 20mph South wind......... I said nope. Glad I did...........
Lucky
