Re: River Rambling Part 2

Hi Bob, I must admit I cheat a little with the axles. Nothing like a small compressor to put 5 psi of air in the axles. This does help to keep the water out.

In spite of these potential obstacles one is able to sit back and enjoy the ride. It takes far less concent...

What a day, it had been 40C ++ for the previous week, the day we come to swim the GPA it comes in cold. We get out into the middle of the lake and it rained like mad. You could not ...
