Apple Blossom was crazy in the 80's when I was a teenager. As a young kid in the 70's I remember when the H.E.'s would thunder into town, as they would stay at a camp near Rock Island next to the Highway. It has ebbed n flowed through the 90's (some wild times with girls even then too).

Chelan would get crazy on Memorial Day too. I remember when the cops literally lost all control, 88 or 89? I guess the same thing happened at A.B. too, then they started changing the cruising directions, etc. But, when phuktards start shooting people, something has to happen unfortunately. Several of us should have went to jail in Chelan one year, at Campbell's as we were part of a brawl. Talked our way outa that chit show, '97 I think. I was fully prepared for a ride to the crossbar but the cop let our side go. We jumped in my boat and bailed back to the house after that.

I never made the Tri Cities boat races but I always wanted to! I heard those were insane. Good buddy got into it with Hanauer one night, traded a couple of punches, supposedly over (his) a woman? It's a great story from what I can remember! I couldn't do it justice anymore. I'll have to get him to tell me again, I've heard it from 2 different people, so pretty sure it's legit. Glad I lived through those times! Did some dumb chit, and thankfully nobody else got hurt!
