Every time Fish recalls running it, it grows about a foot. I think it's up to about 75 feet now. ![]("smileys/smiley36.gif")

I haven't actually seen him run it, myself. The time he dropped it in front of me, it was more like a 40' seal launch ![]("smileys/smiley42.gif")

This is at flood stage, last fall, was there with Fish and Dave. You can decide how high it is. ![]("smileys/smiley17.gif") ![]("/uploads/bin/2/useruploads/542/2158tn100.jpg") ![]("/uploads/bin/2/useruploads/542/2159tn100.jpg") ![]("/uploads/bin/2/useruploads/542/2160tn100.jpg") ------------- Ashley Duffus Well behaved women rarely make history. www.naiyadays.blogspot.com |

| One way to measure it is with a weight and a string. I saw it on the discovery channel. |

So, I was about to post asking where exactly this is, but then I checked Google Maps, with their awesome terrain feature and StreetView, and I think I've found it. Can someone please confirm?

| Yea that's it. Easiest to pull over just after the bridge and then walk back up the west bound lane shoulder to the big boulder pile. |
