Gil, here's my 0.02 on the fairness aspect of running for whatever it's worth. If everyone has the same option to do it (and we did), it is fair. Like fishnjohn points out, in a boat tourney people can run anywhere they like and that is fair. So what makes it unfair in a kickboat tourney?

On a place like Clear Lake running is just another option that helps to spread things out. Can you imagine what State park would have been like if there were no running and 40 kickboaters were all fishing there? The way the bite was at State park it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun as it was :+



BTW, there are pictures of your park ranger in the SCBBBC photo gallery ;-)
