Sightings

As word of the Fat Paddler travels the globe, he is being sighted in all sorts of wonderful places worldwide. Send me your pic of the Fat Paddler (sticker, tshirt, the Fat Paddler himself etc) with details of the location and I’ll post it here (with most recent at top). Send away!  🙂

  1. Folsom State Prison??? Hmmmmm….

  2. That’s right Dave – @NoReinsGirl works for the California Department of Corrections & Rehab 🙂

  3. *cheesy smile* Have interesting stories to say the least.

  4. Wait…what? @NoReinsGirl lives in my neck of the woods?

  5. Yup! I’m in your neck of the woods, Loyd! Was at Caltrans when the SR-140 slide happened and it was our District who did the work at the bridges.

    Always take the shortcut on SR-120 instead of the switchbacks. Sure, its straight uphill but it beats those 10 miles of switchbacks.

    Stomping grounds, buddy. I stay out of the Valley from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Backcountry only up on Tioga Pass.

    Sean, you gotta see Yosemite. Go in the Fall or Spring.
