An out of the blue question for you Hank, since you live near Quincy:

'deed i do.

I was down there a few weekends ago for High Sierra...

So how'd you like the festival?

You have any info on the car accident on 70 in the Feather River canyon? As
we were leaving Quincy, about 7pm on sunday evening (July 6) we were passed
by several ambulances. Turned out a car had gone off hte road, fell what
looked like 50+ feet to the river and was in the middle of the river on its
roof, partially submerged. Several ambulances, a fire truck, and a chopper
were there. I'm just wondering what the hell happened...

Passengers were recovered alive with minor injuries, amazingly. When my
son saw the photos in the local paper he commented that he would not
have wanted to take _that_ ride.

However, on the 4th, a guy drank ten beers and left his buds playing
poker to take a swim in Antelope Lake. He fell down on the way to the
water, sat there for a while, then went into the lake and headed out,
swimming on his back. Small waves from a passing boat washed over him
and he sank and drowned. Hint: ten beers and swimming at high altitude
is not a smart combination. I heard lots of sirens, as I was in
Taylorsville jamming at a party with friends.
