Wait a minute, didn't I read about a number of you in Boundary Waters Journal? Quite the colorful bunch,especially Old Salt if memory serves me correctly.   Do you guys still go as a group?

Ah, yes, the infamous "Flamingo Gang"... the bane of natural color schemes across Quetico!  You've pegged our cook, anyway.  Old Salt has raised park cuisine to an altogether bizarre level.  It's neither fresh nor dried.  It's sort of achieved a category status of its own (think thickened Pepto Bismol featuring lava/magma type qualities with occasional filets slowly bubbling up to the surface).

QJ luncheons & suppers seem to be favorite haunts for these park renegades, who enter the park wherever they want & proceed forth where no man hath gone before.  Otherwise, their flags, buoys, banners, balloons, & whirlygigs - all brightly emblazoned with their logo - scream their presence in the park.  If they're around, you'll know it!  Others  imitate them [see:   (You need to Login or Register ], but nobody has ever figured out WHY.

Attach yourself to this crowd with caution!  Beware!!!

P.S.  In keeping with the theme of this thread (which has taken on a life of its own), Flamingo Gang members often hang their food packs, though one wonders "why?"  Half the time there are mainly hunks of wood in those packs, anyway.....
