Cedarboy,

Doubtless some of the pics will tell the tale best.  I may wait until I see what pics get posted & what tall tales get told before I post my complete (& bonafide) account.  Until then, I guess I can share a few highlights here, I suppose.

We certainly had a couple VERY pink evenings soirees.  My permit party (QP, Magic Paddler, Matunik, & The Fireman) paid a social call one evening to one campsite occupied by the other permit party (YB, Kingfisher, Old Salt, Young Pepper, & Intrepid Camper).  As our flamingo-adorned (original flock members, mind you) hood ornamented vessels arrived, we noticed the pink welcome banners on the trees & floating pink flamingoes out on the water (marking where OS had snagged a chub or two that afternoon).  Magic Baits (shown in QP's post above) were distributed, as were flamingo gumby-dolls (courtesy of IC), pink champagne glasses (courtesy of MP), battery-powered pink flamingo glowing eggs (OS, I think), and variety of other pink paraphelia.   We all shared pink flamingo stew (I think OS might have soaked a chub in it) and pink bannock.  It was a night of flaming pinko madness, I tell you!

All the multitude of canoeist passers-by certainly had incredulous vacant looks on their faces.  For the most part, they were speechless.  Due to the extreme traffic of those sorts of folks, word of the strange happenings & our unusual rituals has, no doubt, long preceded our accounts.  More later on that whole episode.

Other highlights & adventures that you may hear more about later include: a) trying our hands at moose-herding, b) cliff-diving, c) the discovery of a new pictograph featuring "Picto-bird", d) row, row, row your towboat, e) QP's discovery of an obelisk of possible alien origin, f) QP's discovery that he was just a chip off of Old Salt's blocks, g) adventures in hammock-sleeping (we had 3 hammock sleepers in different types of bear pinatas), h) how to land 40 pound beavers on light tackle, i) Kingfisher shows us his rope-a-dope technique, j) QP's Wilderness Pizzeria, and much, much more.

Gotta run.  More to come.....
