Thats too bad. Im sorry you must deal with those kind of amenities. Perhaps the members of the club could all pitch in some extra coin and try and make things a little more pleasing.

That is an awesome looking place. Very envious....

Now that you mention this, We are currently accepting donations to finance the replacement of one of the leaky lakesisde beer taps.

Sadly the County will not let us do anything. They force this down our throats and we just have to learn to live with it!!

Let me get right on that. Send me a paypal email so I can send the funds. A leaky tap... Im suprised code enforcement hasnt shut you down for that yet.. Thats a felony

Unfortunately is not all fun here in our club amenities... we have to put up with some really mean Carps, turtles and ducks that hit our boats while we are out there... and on top of it all, the temperatures man... having days at 65F in the winter is hard to deal with... all the sweatshirts we have to own for that....

Yeah, and that lazy ice cream vendor only rolls by once every hour- some nerve !

hey, don't you guys have normal jobs instead of running your FE boats and posting vid's all day long? I must say that I am envious of your local and weather all year round to be able to head head out to the pond whenever the urge hits.

Keep posting the vids!!

Incredibly nice dock, The vid brings up an interesting question near the end "boaters insurance"?

I had heard there was something like this floating around. My safeco policy covers me performing activities from skydiving to running rc boats anywhere in the usa(yes contact your underwriter), they also insure my Rc boats and equip inside, rest is covered by renters insur, they have for the last 5 years since moving up from texas.

So why would you need "rc boaters" insurance to run your rc boat on a public access lake such as legg lake?

Curious, this just for events, or do you think you could stop someone from using that dock when no events are underway, regardless of who built it.

[Ub Hauled]

Good point!
I'll check with my insurance to see what the deal is in regards of RC...
NAMBA claims it is a membership and on top of that you get an insurance that covers you up to 1 million bux... or something like that.
The money that we pay is mostly for maintenance (rescue boat, paddock, etc.), I am sure that we don't have to pay the whole $45 to insurance.

Legg Lake is part of the Whittier Narrows Recreational Area that is operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. They control the lake and they require NAMBA membership, and as a consequence NAMBA insurance, to run at Legg Lake. There are a few NAMBA clubs that use the lake but none of them actually control the place, that is all under the County.

SO while it is in a public park, the controlling agency has dictated that they require NAMBA insurance to use the facility. They have done the same thing with the flying site located to the north of Legg Lake where they require AMA insurance despite one or more clubs that use the field.

Legg is open from sunrise to sunset 7 days a week for anyone who has NAMBA membership. If you choose to you can pay a small fee to acquire a key that gives you access to the lake from an closer gate and also gets you into the retrieve boat. That money goes into a fund that maintains the boat and other miscellaneous operating costs.

Nice place you guys have there. Maybe Doug Smock can post a picture of his place. Its also a great place to hang out at. You guys are making the rest of us that stand on milk crates very jealous!

[properchopper]

One thing not seen in the video is the crowd of regulars that hang out and run every weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays there's usually a group of 5 to 10 gas & nitro guys set up under the trees, all fine fellows that cheerfully include FE in their circle. Not to mention the hospitality the Grim family and the Seismic Amigos extend to us. Kids and dogs are welcome, and I swear this is true, one weekend one of the Amigo wives actually passed around a plate of deviled eggs to the crowd !!
Truthfully, part of my agenda in showing this video is to attract any forum members in the SoCal area to come and join us. The drive's worth it !!
