Back yard depth is about 20 feet but the right side opens up a lot.... almost as big as the Blowmont one did.

Nick's already planning the RC Truck Track he knows there will be time pre yard install for them to tear it up out there like they did in Blowmont they make jumps etc 's

I guess we'll check it when its completed.
Dos Logos was there 10 years ago when we lived in Lake Elsie and we went sometimes. Its changed a few stores over the years but good job of your friend MAN you really need a transponder to use the Toll lane now a days thru there its traffic at times
I probably told you Ali's story. He built Dos Lagos out of nothing. It was an abandoned silica sand mine. He built a wastewater treatment plant and gave it to the City of Corona in return for annexation to the City and quick approval of sewer, water, electrical, gas hookups, roads, etc. I was with him from the beginning doing environmental work, including site remediation. He thought he was sitting on a groundwater source of drinking water for 30,000 people until I found explosives residue in the groundwater from the Hubbs hard rock quarry next door blasting. He didn't have a pot to piss in when I first met him and accumulated $200 million in personal wealth from the project. Then the recession hit, he couldn't cover a bank loan, and he lost everything. A very sad story.

You should get a transponder. I use it all the time to travel in the Express Lane for free. I'm using it today to go on the 110 to Gardena for a job. All you have to do is buy the transponder from AAA, then it's virtually free forever.

Yeah Skip remembered your telling of your friend Ali

We own 3 transponders as we had one in each vehicle, now down to 2 vehicles we have an extra, they've saved us a ton of times! Our builder's Design Center is over right next to UCI and that 91 can be a Beotch without one also trips to Mickey Town its was great to have
the 15's gotten worse in the last few years though so glad they added it there
