That's hilarious about your father Mossback.  But that's just how it was.  I would go on a fishing trip with my dad as a kid where we would rent a cabin about 8 hours from home.  I remember sending postcards back to my family and scribbling what we were doing on them.

BTW - I got an inreach text from Jimbo yesterday.  It said Welcome from island camp on Veron Lake and he described the site a bit.  So, instead of asking questions and starting a dialogue I simply congratulated him for getting there and wished him a good time.  IMO text conversations should be minimal when out in the "wilderness".  You lose that "feeling" if you have cell talk with the outside world.  Jimbo is with Magic Paddler and MPeebles I believe.  Their goal is to visit Delahey.  Jimbo said he was going to use his net and just scoop up the lakers.   ;D ;D
