Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

Howard "Conan" series - I think it was about 11 paperbacks at the time. Epic reading - Howard was an amazing writer.

Years later the movie came out and I was of course delighted to see the character(s) come alive on the screen. Including 'Pipeline Master' Gerry Lopez.

For all you other barbarians - here's a nice little documentary on the film:


Thanks Baz,
I had no idea of the books, only the movie. Will give them a read. Just goes to show you how little I know.

Cheers
