Title: Re: Bushwhackers Jamboree 2015... Lake & date... Post by Jimbo on Jun 26th, 2015 at 12:53am
A total of 3 voyageurs actually made it to the 3rd Bushwhacker's Jamboree... and 2 of them don't count, according to Stumpy's official set of rules.
MagicPaddler arrived a day early with all of his gear & actually camped on the designated lake. The following day, two day-trippers arrived (identity, as yet, unknown). Magic says he has film footage of the "Jamboree." They spent a grand total of 15 minutes together and then the pair disappeared, presumably headed back to their camp on the main drag. Magic mentioned he fished the Jamboree lakes but made no comment re: his catch. The following day he, himself, "moved on", heading to the campsite on Poohbah (on the island opposite the entry to the Memory Lane portages) where my son & I camped over a month ago. While, technically, Magic Paddler is the only person to satisfy the standards of Stumpy's Bushwhacker's Jamboree quest, honorable mention goes to the unknown pair who winged it in there for a day. More to follow, I'm sure, in Magic's account of this event. Super kudos to Magic Paddler for his achievement. Magic, after Opasquia and some of the bushwhacks I KNOW you have been through in the past few years, I'm not quite sure how you managed to remain with the living quite this long. Truly, you are an inspiration to youngsters like me... & I'm 60! Jimbo 8-) |
