Hello, I'm Laura from So Cal.

[sdporter]

http://www.adoniayachts.com/Laura, I thought I recognized the area. I do the heating and air conditioning on all these houseboats that get sent out there. I’m located 1-1/2 hours away from Lake Powell. Used to be beautiful until the damn Quagga Mussel got setup there. Now it smells horrible, and you gotta wear thongs on the beach to keep your feet from getting cut up.

I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post.

I shoot a Remmington 700 Ultimate.

I'm happy to be here.View attachment 9342

Thank you very much, that's very sweet.
Needless to say I was intimidated to start posting. The more I have read the various topics here the more I know I don't know.

Thanks for you kindness,

Laura

No worries around here, speaking only for myself, I'm certainly not an expert, still learning everyday.

Oh no, terrible news.
Is that the same as the Zebra Mussel?
We were there some years ago, it was FABULOUS! We rented a houseboat and pulled our 20ft openbow Sea Rey.
So Fun!
I hate hearing that beautiful lake is hurtin... We go to Lake Mojave (down river a ways) every Summer.

My Son "flying" over Lake Mojave.

Not sure. Thousands of them stuck to the bottoms of those big boats when they pull them out of the water

Zebra and Quagga mussel are close enough to being the same thing. They are both an invasive species. From eastern europe. Weve had both here in the great lakes since the 90s. Eventually the local ecology will adapt to them and have some kind of balance.

Good to know thanks.
Many of the lakes here in the Southwest have been very strict about wet boats when you first launch, they want to know when and where the last time the boat was is in water.
Anyway, good day to you sir!
Stay safe,
Laura

Old Guys Rule!

Well, thats what my daddy's Tshirt says (and he is really, really old). ❤

Welcome young lady

Thank you. Though, not really very young. My babies are in their mid to late 20's out of college and on their own!

Welcome, If you see any pictures that include toes, look away quickly. I didn't sleep last night.

Same here, seems like an adult sport!
I do shoot with one of my boys mostly because he's local. I think the older guy would love this kind of shooting but he's a couple states away. I have one genuine old gun (1861), a Pedersoli flinchlock (my son shoots that) and a Knight MK85 inline. I like them all.
