Cant imagine the feeling of loosing an entire wheel assembly. In fact, I've mostly towed without a spare, believing a can of fix a flat is good enough. Guess that wouldn't work if there's no flat and the wheel is missing. Trinity and nearby Lewiston are two of my favorites for fishing. Small mouth Bass in Trinity and flyfishing for huge Trout in the other. I've also heard that Whiskeytown Lake is a local hotspot for sailing. Ever been there? Supposed to be great winds and very steady for a mornings sail. I guess it typically dies in the afternoon (so I've heard). Good to hear... Alls Well That Ends Well. Bill
