Just a note that may be of interest. 5 of the top 8 QJ posters (notice I did not call them IMposters) will be in Jimbo's gig, led by the leading QJ poster himself. There is also a rumor that another top poster may join us for a portion of our quiet journey. So, we will not lack for conversation and story-telling.
WOW!  I mentioned to Jimbo that my party of inexperienced Quetico newbies will be camping along your route in and thought of trying to hook up however, I'm now reconsidering this in light of the number of top QJ posters.   Undecided

I mean, this sounds intimidating.  Maybe we'll just lie low when we see QP and Jimbo in the lead canoe cruising by and listen to all the conversations from shore.  Grin

Intimidation was quite unintentional. The reference was to the likely volume of chatter.  Wink Grin Grin

OK, QP is road bound.  Hitting the door in 15 min, swinging  by the Sport Store for a couple last minute things and I 65 here I come.  See ya this evening Stumpy and Satchmoa.  The rest of the Jimboree I'll see you in a day or two.  
May the Magic of the Bait lure the big fish into Jimbo's and qp's canoe.
Thank You to db and the qj for allowing a great group of guys/gals to become friends and put together a trip as this.  Ya'll are the best!

I am starting out today, will be on Moose/Sucker Lakes tonight, Basswood Lake Wednesday, Basswood River Thursday, Robinson to McIntyre Friday, Brent and Suzanette on Saturday.  Should be a good time and the trip reports will be interesting I am sure!  Looks like a nice, hot summer week coming up.  Happy 4th of July everyone.  IC

Hey, Satch!

If I see the whites of your eyes at Scott's Marina before 4pm tomorrow afternoon, you're in!  As you could probably tell from your visitors last night, we take in your tired, your cold, your straggling struggling huddled masses, etc. & so on, and accept all God's chillun' at Jimboree.

Thank you very much for taking care of my team last night!  I am much obliged to you.

Intrepid Camper is getting an earlier start on Jimboree than I anticipated.  She will like be the first one to arrive in the Brent/Suzanette area.  Of course, the REST of the Jimboreers will be lucky to get there at all.  Old Salt, of all people, has come up with "new routing" &, somehow, I'm certain that QPassage will suggest a few interesting deviations from that!!

The fun starts this afternoon, provided that QP does better at finding MY house than he did in finding yours.

Thanks, again, for your help!

Jimbo   Cool

Satchmoa -

I am pleased to report that QP, Matunik, & the Fireman have made it to my house.

Under extreme duress, QP has confessed the REAL reason he arrived SO late & confused at your place.  It seems he chose to read the old map that Stumpy gave him versus the road atlas in the truck.  So, not surprisingly, Stumpy is our villain, yet again.

Apparently, QP felt it was his duty to "meet up" with Stumpy PRIOR to our trip in order to make a "peace offering", thus ensuring safe passage for our party through Quetico.  Stumpy "accepted" the boat (& has not yet discovered the leaks), so we feel pretty good about the deal.  On the other hand, Stumpy's map turned out to be about as good as QP's boatl.

Countdown is OVER!  We head north in the morning.

Back in a couple weeks, folks!

Jimbo  Cool

Best wishes, Jimboreers! Here's to wishing you all a safe journey! The QJ won't be the same without ya'll. Well, actually it will - just much quieter.  Grin

I guess I'll see you in Brigaloon some night next week...

P.s. Hey, 10:30pm and I actually have the whole of QJ to myself. No one else logged on. Am I missing some big party or something? How many of you are going to Jimboree #2?!  Huh
