VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS BEWARE AND FOR THE REST OF YA BUCKLE IN TO CATCH SOME RIVER MONSTERS!!!!!!! They’re not really river monsters because we’re going fishing at LAKE Cachuma, recommended to us by our housemate’s 53-year old coworker who would skip work to go fishing here. We will be on a little boat together catching some fishies and it will be very fun. Then, we will e-fish-ently drive over to basecamp to meet up with the gang and we will demolish them in the cooking competition. (fish fry anyone????) Needless to say, Josh the USC Sailing TA and Halo, his fish-enthusiast bestie, will make this trip o-fish-ally fintastic.
