QP felt the need to allow those who unfortunately can't make the Jimboree this year a sneak peak at the beginnings of this fishing trip.

WOW!!!  What a trip!!


QP just wanted everyone to be on the lookout, as this "one-of-a-kind" bait is likely to catch more than just BIG FISH.

HAPPY 4TH.

Word of Cauction
The QP Magic Bait isn't worth using.  Here I thought I was going fishing and not a bite! 
I did  find 2 MAGICAL WOODEN BOBBERS in my special Pack HOWEVER.   
AND I can tell ya!  It kept me floating over those muddy portages.

Arrived home safe and sound.  Maybe I should sprinkle some magic dust tonight and for get going back to reality tomorrow?

The anticipation is killing us, will we see it here or do we need to wait for the FALL BWJ to quench our thirst?? I know it has only been a few days but, but ,but,but.

Cedarboy,

Doubtless some of the pics will tell the tale best.  I may wait until I see what pics get posted & what tall tales get told before I post my complete (& bonafide) account.  Until then, I guess I can share a few highlights here, I suppose.

We certainly had a couple VERY pink evenings soirees.  My permit party (QP, Magic Paddler, Matunik, & The Fireman) paid a social call one evening to one campsite occupied by the other permit party (YB, Kingfisher, Old Salt, Young Pepper, & Intrepid Camper).  As our flamingo-adorned (original flock members, mind you) hood ornamented vessels arrived, we noticed the pink welcome banners on the trees & floating pink flamingoes out on the water (marking where OS had snagged a chub or two that afternoon).  Magic Baits (shown in QP's post above) were distributed, as were flamingo gumby-dolls (courtesy of IC), pink champagne glasses (courtesy of MP), battery-powered pink flamingo glowing eggs (OS, I think), and variety of other pink paraphelia.   We all shared pink flamingo stew (I think OS might have soaked a chub in it) and pink bannock.  It was a night of flaming pinko madness, I tell you!

All the multitude of canoeist passers-by certainly had incredulous vacant looks on their faces.  For the most part, they were speechless.  Due to the extreme traffic of those sorts of folks, word of the strange happenings & our unusual rituals has, no doubt, long preceded our accounts.  More later on that whole episode.

Other highlights & adventures that you may hear more about later include: a) trying our hands at moose-herding, b) cliff-diving, c) the discovery of a new pictograph featuring "Picto-bird", d) row, row, row your towboat, e) QP's discovery of an obelisk of possible alien origin, f) QP's discovery that he was just a chip off of Old Salt's blocks, g) adventures in hammock-sleeping (we had 3 hammock sleepers in different types of bear pinatas), h) how to land 40 pound beavers on light tackle, i) Kingfisher shows us his rope-a-dope technique, j) QP's Wilderness Pizzeria, and much, much more.

Gotta run.  More to come.....
