For those of you that don't know that gunkholing is :a quite anchorage where the anchor sinks into soft mud or gunk.
I think I find a new one almost every time we are out for the night but I am a newbe at finding spots on lake Wallula on the Columbia river. Last weekend I gunkholed about 4 blocks from where I live in front of 5 mil $ homes and the next night in Burbank hooked to a bouy behind a cresent shaped island, where bird watching was great with pelecans, ducks, geese, eagles ect. I am finding these spots quite now the water is 49 deg and jet skies are not out yet, just fishermen. Last week it was at Hat Rock park by a waterfall, great sleeping.
On with the adventure.

These links to Google maps are always long, and seemingly ill-behaved.
The only solution is giving them a "nickname" (such as "Map Link" shown above). Here's the step-by-step approach to shortcut a long link. - FIRST ... enclose your 'nickname' within the URL tags (NOT the URL itself);
- Next, insert an "equals sign" into the first tag; (see below)
- Now -- paste your URL within the first URL tag (just after the equal-sign).
Code: Select all 1. [URL]Nickname[/url]
2. [URL=]Nickname[/url]
3. [URL=http://..Long...Web...Address.aspx]Nickname[/url]

Now don't go off on a tangent again.
Her contract expired in the 90's, I think

John - - - I was born there (accidently at Clark AF Base) - - - spent a week there then because of "premie" birth, and haven't been back since, but wife #3 was a gorgeous girl from Manila named - - - ah - - - I can't remember her name. Anyway, I liked her for awhile.
Bubba - - - now that you edited your post and your link to a different one, I think yours is a GREAT spot too.

Got to agree with Rick on the cold in Newfoundland our daughter spent 6 months at Placentia and at -40 it is not where I want to be, despite constant invitations to visit from lovely people.
John I couldn't get your link to show me anything but some houses, but then thats probably because I am computor challenged.
We have some amazing places for Gunkholing here but the best (for me) has been our Murray River due to the character and constant changes.
