Awesome flag!!  8) 8) 8)

(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)is the welcome mat I put out on last year's trip.  It is flying proudly in front of my campsite at the north end of Silence Lake (August, 2005).  It will be along on this  year's trip also.  (Its standard handkerchief size, re-enforced along one edge with grommets added.)

Hey, Bruce -

Sounds like you won't be too tough to spot in June!

I kind of like dd's "flag" & may try to duplicate it.  So, you might keep an eye out for such (in addition to our "flashing you the bird") on Iron Lake....

On the subject of the pink flamingos.

I'm going to the Q again on May 30, for a couple weeks of solo walleye chasing.  I'll probably go straight up Agnes and be fishing Kawnipi, the Poet Chain, Sturgeon, and the top of the Kashipiwi chain.  I like all the moving water in that area.

Would it be worth my trouble to bring a flamingo?  Are there that many potential paddlers out there who would know what it means?

I'd be interested in meeting other folks and sharing fishing info, coffee, and just seeing the perspectives of others.  I've done a bunch of these solo trips and I rarely meet anyone for anything other then a quick "hello, how are they biting?"

I could easily stow one in my Bell Wildfire while afloat, and then at the waters edge.  But I don't really want to if no one recognizes it, and it's just another thing to portage.

Sounds like you think the odds are a bit slim then, eh?  I suppose if I could find a small one then maybe--but I don't want something to catch the wind in my small canoe.

Plus I don't know the secret handshake.  I suppose that's why it's a secret.
