Picture taken in Bountiful - this is the car that I almost lost in the Sacramento river along with possibly my own life - I had launced my boat at the city ramp but did not know the tide was out - my back wheels got off the concrete in to the mud and I started sliding back to the deep part of the river - had to keep the engine running because turned off it would suck water to the engine and ruin it - after about an hour or so the onlookers got me back on the concrete and the crisis was over. As the car was full of water I soon turned it in for a dry one.
