Dinking Around An Antler Arch

The first use of the new Dink Around Rig was a success.  We set it up May 30 in front of one of the four signature antler arches at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, town square.  The set up and take down were incredibly easy and trouble-free.  The light weight and portability of the rig were a real bonus.
We're looking forward to dinking around in more interesting locations now that we have such an easy rig to use.

New Dink Around Net

We created a much better new dink around net on May 27, 2017.  This is a totally free-standing net.  It's made from half-inch PVC pipe and fittings.  It measures 36 inches at the top cross bar. It's slightly more than four feet across.  The horizontal supports are slightly more than 36 inches.  Tent pegs can anchor the horizontal legs if necessary.  The unit weighs perhaps 3 pounds max.  Right now it's contained in two chair bags.  We will make a custom bag for it soon. Total cost (including a bag of 100 zip ties) is $10.50.

Dinking around Paria, Lees Ferry & Navajo Bridge

 We created a rough-hewn dink around net in early May  so that we could rig it up near Paria Beach.  We wanted to dink around on Paria Beach itself but there was a wedding going on there.  We had to tie the net into the rocks near Paria Riffle and keep the ball in the air.  Tough dink duty for sure!

Then we went to dink around at the Lees Ferry river runner ramp.  Susun had to recruit these two guys to hold up the net since there was nothing to tie it to.  You should have seen some of the "looks" we received while we were dinking around.

Finally, we went to dink around on the orifinal Navajo Bridge was was built back in the 1920's.  We had to be VERY careful so the ball wouldn't go over the railing and drop over 400 feet to the river below.  That would be littering and we would have maybe got a ticket.  The tourists seemed to enjoy hold the net.

Now that we  have a free-standing net to dink around with, the sky's limit!
