It's spelled Dolores.

Which means "Our Lady of Sorrows" in Spanish, the catholics can probably take it from there.

I'm betting Calbob over on Riverdave's knows more about this.

A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.

I went there in 72, or 73. Even though it looks big, wasn't a lot there. And what was there was really costly. Might be a good place for that guy Down-under that was looking for a place to have Sprint Boat Races.  :eek

It'd be fun to own and turn it into a private lake/resort for Family and friends. I think that HDF ought to buy it......it can be our "club house" for gatherings!!  :D  :beer

Here we go. Somebody buy this place quick before the price goes up. Dana?

You may have never heard of Sprint Boat racing, but its origins can be traced back nearly half a century, halfway across the globe. That according to the United States Sprint Boat Association (USSBA) website, which credits New Zealand for founding the sport.
It all began with Marathon River Racing in the 1970s. These endurance races took place on New Zealand's naturally winding waterways, over the course of several days. Eventually a shorter format of river racing was developed known as Jetsprint, or Sprint Boat racing stateside.

The USSBA was formed in the early 1990s, with races initially occurring on ponds or small lakes. The sport was revolutionized in the U.S. when the first in-ground track was excavated in 1997. Since then, man made courses are popping up all over the Pacific Northwest, constructed to mimic the twisting tributaries upon which the sport was discovered.

There are 3 classes of Sprint Boat racing in the U.S.: Superboat, Group A-400 and Super Modified, based mostly on engine power and size. Complete class specifications can be found within the official USSBA race rules.

Not my style, Kenny-Boy! I'll pass!!  :laugh  :good
