while i enjoy penns and the rapid, if i was making or suggesting a choice
(and i am), i'd choose west. ...or were you talking about west as in
graham county?

No, I was thinking Jellystone West. I'd have to have two weeks or better
time off, as I don't fly.

North would be up Wolfie's way.

yeah, i used to say that too. amazing the courage you'll muster after
seeing children and skinny wimmen fearlessly board a plane. the wussy
burden becomes unbearable. plus, that's a really long drive...i'd hate
to spend half of my vacation blasting across country in a car. i'd plan
for a month-long trip before considering a drive across country, and
then i'd find waypoints of interest along the route.

i'd still say west... except, of course, the north does provide the
prospect of wolf's evil sense of humor and excellent discourse on things
historical and literary...as well as becky's exceptional common
sense.g but if you want to chase trout while elk bugle, buffalo
meander by, and wolves, eagles, pronghorns, antelope and big horn sheep
share some of the most beautiful country in the lower 48...well, even
the wonderful wilds of wisconsin and the yoop can't compare.

You keep saying that, you're gonna run out of this years.

You are correct sir! I will make it up your way one day, much to your
shigrin. I'm just not one to fly and my vehicles of the last few years are
not the travelin' kind. Tax refund may improve matters a bit this year
though. I'll attempt to co-ordinate things with Jeff and John and you and
others as to the most feasible 'Clave for me. I'n thinkin' of going West,
young man, or North?

Wolf and I found a stream that you wouldn't believe...right by the
road,
pretty and just chock full of little brookies...

That figures. It's always Wolfgang, isn't it.

Wasn't my fault. Everybody was palying ditch the immigrant
kid.....John was slow.

So you won't be running for President I take it?

If elected, I will not serve.

We have our own brand of bucolically charming scenery here but Mr.
Miller is right. Our geography is what it is by virtue of where it
is......middling. I can find adequate diversion here to justify the
time and effort but Middleton (and Muir.....as well as myriad others)
was right.....the mountains, left or right, have an attractive force
greater than mere gravity or magnetism.

et...
1) Bike week, Daytona

2) Shad fishing, NC

3) Spring clave, PA

4) Chicago Clave

5) Manistee National forest, MI

6) Optimistic RV Park, NC

1) It's going to be a little tight time wise but we are leaving in
February and will be back before bike week is even half over. We'll
trailer the Harley's till we hit warmer weather and then park the van and
ride on down. We don't need to be there for the whole thing...Heck I rode
to Sturgis from Ohio and was in town long enough to buy a t-shirt and have
a beer, two hours max. It's just something to do.....

2) Around mid March I'll be in the flatlands of North Carolina with my
camper and kayak picking Jeff's brains about how to do this shad fishing
thing...It's just one of those been there done that things I've got to
have under my belt...

3) Spring Clave... I won't be staying the whole time in PA but I intend to
show up for a few days to see some friends I haven't seen in a while.
Weather providing I'll ride the bike over, if not, I'll drive. Dave and
Joel have graciously offered to put me up in their cabin...

4) Chicago Clave...Frank the elder didn't really bite on that troll but,
I've just about sold myself. Should anyone else care to give it a try,
I'm sure Frank could give good references on streams, there's the navy
pier and other things to see....might even go to one o those interactive
plays...be a great long weekend.

5) Manistee Forest...At one of our local fly club meetings a fellow (
http://www.schmidtoutfitters.com/index.cfm ) gave a talk on this area and
I am real anxious to try it along the lines of camping with kayaks...

6) I may or may not make it to the anti-clave, but I will definitely make
it here...( http://www.schmidtoutfitters.com/index.cfm ). It's right smack
dab in the middle of Waldo's 2000 spring Clave (gosh, that was memorable
to me...treasure the hat) and just a great owner and location and scenery
and everything.... He's got a refurbished original log cabin with "all"
the amenities, a bunkhouse, camping spots and individual cabins and
everything. I stopped buy last year and felt if I didn't go back soon I
would be leaving out a memory I should have. A good caster could catch
fish from the back door of the log cabin...!


That covers the main things. The club has a weekend campout/fish fry at
some local blue gill lakes along with another family campout for kids and
all...several local kayak floats....one terrific stream (goat you
listening?) that just begs for getting up early, hiking and fishing hard
with a packed in shore lunch...I swear it's like a trout stream except you
are fishing for smallmouth..

And I always have the local river I can walk to...it's great for
smallmouth in the mornings or evenings and is an absolute hoot when the
rock bass are on the nest.

What's on your, you , youse guys mind?
