Hey,
Congratulations to Phgportager, Hexnymph, Pennpaddler and the rest of their gang. They (6 in all) were the only people to make it to the Bushwhackers Jamboree 2005...one can only guess at the tales of adventure told around the fire, at their remote camp that night. ???  They ARE the charter members of the BUG-BIT club....You can pick up your patches at BWJ 2010  ;).

Here goes....

BUSHWHACKERS JAMBOREE 2010....

WHO....Whoever can get a permit and get to the lake on the dates to be revealed later. No daytrippers (campers only)...we will gather in the evening.

WHAT...It will be an informal meeting of tough and hardy travelers, where stories and information will be told. Knowledge, that has been earned, and should continued to be earned.

WHERE...It will be on a lake in Quetico, with no name, no portage trail to it (none), good depth, good water, plenty of bugs and campable shorline, and maybe...just maybe good fishing.

WHEN....It will be in mid-June 2010...when bugs are bad, and so are the voyageurs.

WHY...Because the best information should be earned. Because exploring those no-name lakes makes for great adventure. Because I want to meet other bushwhackers and hear where they've been, and tell them where I've been, and exchange great stories. Because this time I REALLY want to shake the hand of anyone who gets there!!!

On the evenings of June 14 & 15, 2010, we will meet on this lake...
