San Diego BS Thread.

Morning kds !! Been soaking my bladder in Yuban since about 4:20 this AM.....The best part of waking up, is Yuban in my cup....

Todays history lesson: One of the ways water was delivered to the City of San Diego was the wooden flume that started at lake Cuyamaca & ended at the Grossmont summit's Eucalyptus diversion dam with the longest span being the Los Coches trestle at a height of 57ft & a length of 1934 ft. Pictured below is the trestle that is now the location of Lake Jennings 1886

 

Nice Doug, ya I remember seeing alot of the old water aqua-duct trestles when i was a kid. there are still a number of them still be used near Hodges along the Del Dios hwy too.

 

That's kinda what I meant. You end up airing down to soften. I ran my diesel tires at 25 in the rear if I wanted to drink a come while driving and they held 80.

 

Yeah I've seen those in n. county as well as the remnants along the hill leaving El Capitan reservoir, people used to get rafts & float down it from its trailhead in Cuyamaca , thru the Lankersheim tunnel (about 2000 ft long) getting out of flume before getting caught somewhere around el cajon, fucker was 37 miles long, wow that'd be an awesome float tube trip

 

yup, my Dad who grew up in Dehesa would tell my Sis and I about doing something similar. Talk about the ultimate water slide/park.

I forgot about the water flumes, and the family float rides through the county. Thanks Doug.

 

Yesterday I learned that Lakeside was a not so nice place at one time; lots o' crazy people.

 

These are some fat tires on a Tacoma maybe it's a Hilux, dunno.

Nice... I had Cooper Discoverer STTs and ATRs... on my 2005. The STTs were WAY LOUD on the highway and terrible in sand... not unusual for a mud terrain/ 3 ply sidewall tire... but the ATRs were nice, quiet and good in sand, just not aggressive looking like the STTs.

This ST Maxx is a nice looking tire... What size did you get and how much do they sell for?
