| Batteaus by Erik Wahlman |
| Erik Wahlman built the batteaus used in the 1998 movie "Almost Heroes." The movie was filmed around the Redding area and all over Shasta County, CA. It starred Matthew Perry (of "Friends" fame) and deceased comedian Chris Farley. The comedy has Perry and Farley as Edwards and Hunt; two hapless explorers racing to beat Lewis and Clark across the uncharted American West. |
