...you remember driving up to Lookout Point and sitting on
your Dad's shoulders to get a better view of Bodger's Flower
Flag during the Korean War.

...you remember as a child how excited all the local fishermen
got when the Steelhead made their annual runs up the Santa
Ynez River and hearing them say it was the best Steelhead

...you remember watching your Dad and his friend Harry Paaske
using heavy equipment from JM to open up the mouth of the
Santa Ynez river so the waiting steelhead could work their
way up to their ancestral spawning grounds.
...you remember a free flowing river teaming with wildlife
in the water and along it's banks before there was a Cachuma
Dam.
