Second, Stumpy I think you may have been closer than you think - now that I hear you were toting a Grumman.  We arrived on the pond by 1530 - 1600, we set camp and went back out to fish.  Hex may want to verify this, but we were pretty damn sure we heard a Grumman banging off trees sometime around 1730 - 1800.  The sound came from the woods on the western side of the pond about half way between the north and south ends.  We did get excited for a while, but then remembered we were crazy. I do believe that I read earlier that Stumpy has given us (or Hex) the right to choose the next location in 2010.  I can assure you it will not be any easier to get to.  It will be a bushwhack.

Yep,....That would've been me......ARRRRGGG !

I feel like the band and/or ring bearer that did'nt show up for the wedding.

I had lots of plans....forming a secret society (BUG-BIT Club), and such....etc, etc,......Now, I don't know if I have any say left in this thing that I started....?

But here's my advise....
Pick a lake and 2 nights for June 2010.
Don't reveal them until December 7th (easy date to remember) 2009.
See you there...........this time (honest Injun)


And to those who think they're getting too old to make it (Jimbo, DD, Natty, etc...)....Team up with me (only if you're committed), I'll be going on 50, and the Over The Hill Gang will charge into Bushwhackers Jamboree 2010* with canoes ablazing. I'll get that Grumman to any lake they pick this time !......God help me, so far I'm all talk :'(

   * Might as well go back to calling it a "Jamboree" since my fears of a BIG "party" out in the woods were obviously unfounded.
