Brings back memories of getting out of school in 1966 to sandbag the dike. "Dike patrol" was the funnest. We took the old 55 Chev wagon around the dike to check for leaks and "varmits" trying to invade the town. One guy sat on each fender with a shotgun and a spotlite as we idiled around the dike. We would check for leaks in the dike and "deter" any invading skunks, rats, mice and other pests. We even got an "attaboy" from the county sherrif for our "thourough" patrol methods.

Some of the guys got "pinched" by the game warden for spearing carp on Highway 1, with pitchforks (not me). The county judge threw the deal out and told the game warden to find something more constructive to do than mess with a few kids having fun in the disaster.

Just think of some nice old tin getting the mud changed in the rocker panels along the Red and the Snake. In about 1977 a couple kids dragged me north of Oslo along the Red to identify a couple old cars they got from a farmer. Within 1/4 mile of each other were 2 1929 Hudson 3 window coupes, along with other varoius junk. The bodies were nice with very little rust. Just think how many times they had been submerged. Oh yeah, the price of the Hudsons was FREE.
