Around 1970 I hiked in to Midnight Lake in the eastern Sierras and made camp.  It's a beautiful high altitude lake with sheer cliffs rising high around over half of the shoreline. I was just getting out of my sleeping bag at first light when a twin engine WW II bomber swooped down and circled just inside the cliffs. It made two passes dropping clay "pots" filled with trout.  When the pots hit the water they disintegrated and released the fish.  It was an unforgettable sight. 
"Pedo Viejo" is what Antonio called me.
