yep... he had gone fishing and did not wash the plane out real good....



Quick story..



A buddy had a cabin out on Silver Salmon creek.  He flew his cub out for the summer to commercial fish there.  He was having trouble with bears loving on his plane and bending them up a bit so he called fish and game to come out.  He told them the next time he sees the bear he is going to shoot it.  Fish and game frown on this and give him a case of Roman Candles and told him to shoot the bear with the roman candle and he wont have any more bear problems.  If you dont know what a roman candle is, it is a firework that shoots out flaming colored balls about 60' or so.. if you do know what a roman candle is, then you know that the fuse is on the opposite end of what you would expect...  At any rate, my buddy get awoken about 4:00 in the morning to the sound of a bear outside huffing around.  he jumps out of bed in his underwear and grabs a roman candle, eases open the cabin door, takes careful aim and lights the fuse and waits... it takes a few seconds for this to start going off so he is "tracking" the bear.  The first shot goes off and realises that it is shooting flaming balls out the wrong end and he just launched on insdide the cabin.. in his haste to trun it around he proceeds to launch 2 more into the cabin before it gets pointed out the door.. now he is not so carefully aiming at the bear and fires a round into his ceconite and dope covered supercub... to his horror, the plane goes poof and is now a raging inferno.  He freaks out and start running out to the plane to see if he can put the fire out.. no dice.. it is just burning too hot at this point.  About this time, he remembers that he had fired off a few rounds inside his log cabin... yepp, he truns around in about pisses himself when he realizes his cabin and his plane are now fully engulfed.  So by now, it is close to 4:30 AM, he has nothing but his underwear on and he gets to take a 1 mile walk of shame down to the next cabin to get help... Needless to say, once he was fully clothed, he borrowed the neighbors cub, loaded up the remaining case of roman candles and flew straight the fish and game headquarters where he just darn near inserted the proper end in the now very scared biologists butt and lit the fuse inside the building...



They no longer hand out roman candles as bear deterrent's, and Kenny went on a one man crusade to rid the world of bears lol.... to have him tell the story over a few beers is about the funniest thing I have ever heard, and I can, in no way do justice to the way it should be told..

Len, You might be the world's #1 snakeoil salesman, but I ain't buying it. You had to make that story up?

sorry to disappoint you, no snake oil this one is very true!  I think that was in 79 or 80 that it happened.  I can promise you that Kenny wishes it was made up, he would not have had to buy and new plane and rebuild the cabin!
