Yeah, but keeping the pins from floating away is a real pain in the rear.

The purple ball is sitting on the stern of the red boat. Haven't seen the other ones.

Should be 2 other black ones around, and soon a 3rd black one...... >

The bowling balls dribble nicely on the flat rocks. Perhaps we need a baskeball hoop and could get some 2 on 2 going.

Now you're talkin'.
Re: Yahara River? - MikeS - 05-26-2006
So... anyone have an old baskeball hoop?
Re: Yahara River? - Dewit2it - 05-26-2006
Better yet, does anyone have a waterproof hammer drill to mount it to the rock with lag shields?
Somehow I don't think my DeWalt 18V hammer drill will survive immersion.
Pneumatic? hmm.

What's the matter with duct tape?

I don't know if I've ever been colder than the day (March 25, 2001) we drift-dived the entire Yahara River, from just below the Tenny Park Locks to Morrison Park in Lake Monona. We were in the water for 90 minutes, with a max depth of 5 feet. I think I floated from E. Washingon to Willy St so I could hold my hands above-water and warm up a bit. There wasn't even much good stuff - all I recorded recovering is some golf balls and a traffic cone.
I'd still probably do it again sometime.

Which is why my favorite way to "dive" it is on my surfski. ;D
I can paddle up and down the river and see everything I want to, especially with a decent pair of polarized sunglasses, and then just jump in with a mask if I see anything I want.
I also wear a kayaking drysuit and dry gloves for winter paddeling so I stay pretty darn toasty warm for all the entire time that I am out there. 8)
