"I was calling about Coyote Lake and all the Santa Clara County lakes. I noticed a few years ago they put new campgrounds at Coyote Lake, which I am kind of wondering why because they don't want boats out there. Santa Clara County is the only county that makes you go through an inspection for the clams. The inspection is a joke. You have to start your boat and remove all the water. In my case, I had to start my boat and it messed up my plugs so my day was shot because I had to buy new plugs. They added the campgrounds, but you can't swim there. They can't fill the lake more than 50 percent. I'm wondering why you add campgrounds when the dam needs to be fixed. Back when I was a kid there was a swimming beach area in the '80s and you could enjoy yourself. Now they will harass you on the lake after they have inspected you for the clams. Why is it the only county that does inspections? I have been to numerous lakes and no one charges. They charge $7 for the inspection, $7 for a reservation and then you have to pay for parking. I no longer go to Santa Clara County lakes. You can go to Lake Nacimiento and pay $7 period to get on the water. I feel they need to close down the lakes like they wanted and then they don't have to pay for the rangers."

It’s next to me, the textured binding is tattered, the stamped, indented cover title “Willie” on the orange background has scribbled black crayon on it courtesy of my younger brother – boy I was mad about that at the time. But now, it’s just added to the history. Inside the jacket cover in my mother’s practically perfect in every way handwriting are my name, 5 Maple Ave. and phone, 325-9211. The book came to me as a birthday or Christmas present in 1966. It’s a first edition, and through the care of my mother who boxed it when I flew from the nest for college and beyond, it survived.
