Bushwhackers Jamboree 2010...
Dec 8th, 2005 at 3:56am
 
Hey, it's December 7th...
Congratulations to Phgportager, Hexnymph, Pennpaddler and the rest of their gang. They (6 in all) were the only people to make it to the Bushwhackers Jamboree 2005...one can only guess at the tales of adventure told around the fire, at their remote camp that night. ???  They ARE the charter members of the BUG-BIT club....You can pick up your patches in 4 1/2 years  Wink.
By all rights they should pick the lake and dates for the next Bushwhackers Jamboree. However, at their insistence, I will continue with the honor of scouting, and picking the lake for 2010. I do plan however, to meet their approval (and them) on said lake.
I am also going back to the "Jamboree" name, since my fears of a BIG party out in the woods were unfounded.
So here goes....

BUSHWHACKERS JAMBOREE 2010....

WHO....Whoever can get a permit and get to the lake on the dates to be revealed later. No daytrippers (campers only)...we will gather in the evening.

WHAT...It will be an informal meeting of tough and hardy travelers, where stories and information will be told. Knowledge, that has been earned, and should continued to be earned.

WHERE...It will be on a lake near the middle of Quetico, with no name, no portage trail to it (none), good depth, good water, plenty of bugs and campable shorline, and maybe...just maybe good fishing.

WHEN....It will be in mid-June 2010...when bugs are bad, and so are the voyageurs.

WHY...Because the best information should be earned. Because exploring those no-name lakes makes for great adventure. Because I want to meet other bushwhackers and hear where they've been, and tell them where I've been, and exchange great stories. Because this time I REALLY want to shake the hand of anyone who gets there!!!

HOW...Barring any changes in the permit system...I will anounce the exact date and location on this website at 9:00 PM (cst), December 7, 2009.

Thank you,
Stumpy (your humbled scribe)

If you don't tell us until December 7, how will we know where to meet you in mid-June??  ???  ??? Grin Grin Grin

My hunch is that the water will be hard and white on December 7, 2010.

By 2010, I expect to have developed & mastered a new medium of creative expression in which to document, for all Posterity, the many expected significant developments of this worthy endeavor dubbed Jamboree II. 

Think modern-day "Songs of the Voyageurs"!

Think "Bushwhacker Bee-Bop"!!

With 4 1/2 years to practice & acquire new material for Bushwhacker Bee-Bop, I figure to score a platinum album, at the very least, with my inaugural efforts in this new art form.

Advance orders may be placed in bait shops and bars everywhere (north of Virginia, MN)....

Bee Bop eh!
That might be a tough challenge for you Jimbo.
Topping the Voyageur Rap at the Jimboree this year, will be a tough challenge to top.  I sure wish I had that on video I'm sure you would have went Platinum by now.  Wink
The gestures as well as the crowd were all left in awe. 
Put me on the list, even if it means a trip to the next Jimboree to get the cd.

2010 is kind of a long wait, you don't want to do it sooner?

No

If someone else cares to plan another get together (Jimboree etc...), by all means do so.

I figure every 5 years, gives bushwhackers a few years to explore new lakes, thus giving them new adventures or finds to tell of. When I was younger and more free, I could explore a lot more in a year or two....but now I have less time to do so.
Also, I need those 5 years to practice-up on my Voodoo.  Lips Sealed
