This is my first post, spurred on at first because of the 10 post requirement to sell one my rifles, and then when I thought about what I could write about, I came to the realization that I may have some personal history that others would be interested in. With an 80 word limit, I will go well beyond 10 posts. So here goes:
I grew up just north of San Francisco, on a dead end road that backed up to many thousands of acres of ranch land (eventually bought by the federal government and became a national recreation area) and the owners did not seem to mind a kid with and air rifle or fishing rod trespassing. I could hike to the coast: in one direction I would end up being able to see the city of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, in the other direction end up at Muir Beach. [Downstream from the Muir Woods National Monument, where when I was 13, I snuck in and speared a salmon with a collapsable spear made from tent poles! (please don't tell anyone)]
(I think I have greatly surpassed my 80 word limit, so I will submit at this point and see what happens. The story gets juicy eventually (from an airgun perspective) when I will relate how I helped Robert Beeman start his business!
