[QUOTE="user 18775, post: 400799, member: 18775"] No picture available. We took my Crestliner to Lake Almanor (Orville, CA) and had reserved a campsite.. My partner asked how far the site was from the water, and was told 85'. Joke was that meant 85' vertical, near 1/2 mile from the "bay". We beached the boat, hiked to the site, at lunch, discussed the deal at length and decided to fish that day and head for home. Local forest fires made the lake into a smoke sink, and it wasn't real fun to breathe there. So we hiked back to the boat. We had left it with the bow a couple of feet on the sand, with 20' of rope up on the beach. The lake level dropped a foot or two in the hour we were gone. It was really evident in that shallow bay. My 16'-6" boat was four feet from the water resting on a mixture of sand and mud. no cell phones, no one around to help, and the water wasn't coming up for about 6 months...so we pushed. Luckily the mud was wet enough for the boat to slide. Unluckily, the mud was sticky enough to claim three shoes and a sock. [/QUOTE]
