Bruce-

Sorry about your stress fracture and having to cut your trip short.    Here's wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.  Maybe your luck will be better for Jimboree #3.

Hello All...
I have news... All of the Jimboreer's, made it safely to Bottle Portage via the tow to start their journey!  On the other hand I was not able to continue with them because of a stress fracture I received in my right foot on the way into the BWCA last Sunday the 25th...  Lake Agnes was as far as I made it (Campsite 1804/29) and that was all!!  I did manage to get up to Bottle Portage Thursday morning to let them know I was not going to be able to go with them and then I went back to Agnes, broke camp, made it back to the truck, a shower at VNorth, a bite to eat and then an 1100 mile drive back to Arkansas to see a doctor...

Jimbo's posting at 5:00am Yikes!

I hope you have a wonderful trip and that all return safe and refreshed.  We all look forward to hearing the tales and then finding out what really happened.

I think we should schedule a council fire session and allow people to intreact with the players from this trip.  Just an idea.

I have a feeling there won't be much "sleeping" going on at Jimboree.

All the guys at my place have been up since around 4am... and for no good reason.  We won't see Old Salt, Kingfisher, & Pepper until 8am or so.

Yellowbird is posting to QJ at around 3am this morning.  Yikes!

This is going to be an early bird crowd for sure!

My thanks to all those MANY good QJ'ers who sent up routing, fishing, & camping info in preparation for this trip over the past several weeks & months.

Death to spammers!!!

Folks,

Be sure to tune in Saturday, July 8th at 12:30 pm on KSMB for a live interview with the returning Jimboreers.  This trip, fully sponsored by the Little Bay de Noc tackled company of Happy Rock Michigan, is flying a film crew into Zup's resort, LLC. The interview will be conducted by a legendary Fishing Facts magazine writer for the exclusive on the "magic" bait revelation.

Best wishes, Jimboreers! Here's to wishing you all a safe journey! The QJ won't be the same without ya'll. Well, actually it will - just much quieter. 

I guess I'll see you in Brigaloon some night next week...

P.s. Hey, 10:30pm and I actually have the whole of QJ to myself. No one else logged on. Am I missing some big party or something? How many of you are going to Jimboree #2?! 

Satchmoa -

I am pleased to report that QP, Matunik, & the Fireman have made it to my house.

Under extreme duress, QP has confessed the REAL reason he arrived SO late & confused at your place.  It seems he chose to read the old map that Stumpy gave him versus the road atlas in the truck.  So, not surprisingly, Stumpy is our villain, yet again.

Apparently, QP felt it was his duty to "meet up" with Stumpy PRIOR to our trip in order to make a "peace offering", thus ensuring safe passage for our party through Quetico.  Stumpy "accepted" the boat (& has not yet discovered the leaks), so we feel pretty good about the deal.  On the other hand, Stumpy's map turned out to be about as good as QP's boatl.

Countdown is OVER!  We head north in the morning.

Back in a couple weeks, folks!

Jimbo 

Hey, Satch!

If I see the whites of your eyes at Scott's Marina before 4pm tomorrow afternoon, you're in!  As you could probably tell from your visitors last night, we take in your tired, your cold, your straggling struggling huddled masses, etc. & so on, and accept all God's chillun' at Jimboree.

Thank you very much for taking care of my team last night!  I am much obliged to you.

Intrepid Camper is getting an earlier start on Jimboree than I anticipated.  She will like be the first one to arrive in the Brent/Suzanette area.  Of course, the REST of the Jimboreers will be lucky to get there at all.  Old Salt, of all people, has come up with "new routing" &, somehow, I'm certain that QPassage will suggest a few interesting deviations from that!!

The fun starts this afternoon, provided that QP does better at finding MY house than he did in finding yours.

Thanks, again, for your help!

Jimbo
