Local family fishing off the dock at the Old Mill Inn at San Quintin. They didn’t have poles, they used old liter soda bottles with line wrapped around them.

The Zink’s were run off the road while passing a semi just before the gas stop that preceeded lunch. We had talked with them as they pulled in for gas and I took this shot of the son at lunch.

This is John Zink’s arm. There was not one piece of clothing that wasn’t ripped to shreds. They both walked away with little more than a few scrapes and bruises. Pretty lucky after getting run off the road at 60 mph.
