Los Angeles Dock

Hello everyone!
I know some of you have already heard that Southern California is going to actually have a dock that everyone can come out and use. Well I am the person that finally decided to make this happen. I am not going to say exactly where the place is just yet for a few reasons but it is close to the 55 and 91 freeways. Some of you may already have figured out exactly where it is and I ask you to please be descrete till I announce the dock opening.
The dock location will be a pond about 150ft x 300ft, right now we are draining the pond and digging out one end to a depth of about 5 1/2 feet. We are also going to clean the pond and desilt it at this time. Because of the location we cannot put in a permenant dock. However I am building a dock 40ftx8ft that I can put in place almost every weekend. The site is used for other things some weekends. The agreement I made with the property owners means I cannot exclude any clubs or organizations that want to use the dock for dock diving. I am going to be exactly fair with all clubs and organizations and am going to encourage anyone that is not in a club to join one. The location is one where you and your dog can be as loud as you want.
I am hoping to get the dock open by February but this might be a bit optomistic. I will charge a fee for the use of the dock so I can pay for the cost and pay for maintaining it and setting it up and taking it down.
Hope to see everyone out at Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga.
