Yeah - pobably all of Stumpy's crap so he doesn't have to portage it out.

Don't be so quick to judge, Old Salt.
I'm sure you've heard of the blue walleyes of Joyce
or the silver pike of Disappointment ?
Well, wait'll you see the red bullhead of Chub Pond !!!
You'll think you portaged to Mars !

Then again, what's to say I'm NOT an Allien, gathering a crew to hitch a ride on the next Comet...or Maverick....which ever comes along first ? 

Old_Salt,

Referencing your Question #4

There you go, dredging up my wife's argument about having me "committed", again!  

Well, at the very least, I expect to catch a few fish on the way TO & BACK from Stumpy Land.    

It doesn't appear that I'll NEED to catch all that many fish, either.  My original party of 4-6 has recently dwindled down to two and possibly just one (1), if my college freshman son pulls a certain important Summer Internship down in the Carolinas.  

A frequent partner, my brother, WAS going but, after careful "Old_Salt-like" reflection, he made the following observation: "WHY the hell do I want to hack my way through a mile of nasty wilderness, boot-sucking swamp, & who-knows-what just to get bitten by bugs while sitting on some desolate beach on some godforsaken lake with a bunch of bullshitting tall tale tellers?"  

I secretly thought that referring to potential Jamboreers as a "bunch" might be a bit optimistic but I held my tongue.  However, I didn't get very far with the response I DID give him: "It would be just like Old Times!" [referring to a 1996 debacle, notorious in our family circles, occurring 'somewhere' a few miles NW of Cache Lake]  

Brother Gary & his friends are now eyeballing my more sedentary Autumn Base Camp Trip option.  

Well, the way I look at it, it won't take all that many chubs to mix in with my Cache Lake Fish Chowder Mix to make a fine meal.  BTW, that stuff is great!!  

Let the faint of heart vegetate on their sofas!  Seize the day & the Flamingos!!  I say 'on with the Quest' and those fabulous 'door prizes'!!!

Well, I was reading all the entries in the "Monikers" thread the other day and came across this:

Kinda gives you food for thought, eh Jimbo?

I don't think anybody is showing up, so once the date has passed I'm telling everyone I was there.  If by some weird chance somebody challenges me, I'll say that they were the one that wasn't there. 

Also, I may consider making an alliance with several people and we'll all claim to have been there.  Perhaps gather in a wooded area outside some tavern and snap some photos to prove we were there!
