only two months. still unsure who'll be showing up. other than me,
makela and roger(?), doesn't sound like many distance travelers will be
in the area. small crowds seem to be the deal this year...not many
traveling to penns either. i'm gonna miss the regulars out west,
especially my good friend and fellow traveler, ij. but, each year is a
new adventure. warren promises some interesting hikes into new areas,
and since he won't be burdened with the gink boat duties this year, i'm
looking forward to spending more time on the water with him and learning
a bit more about the great mystery.

fellers, this life squirms away too fast...best get you a handful of it
every chance you get.

Unless I get fired, together with a bunch of other guys, I will go, but
since I was one of the most recently hired at my office it doesn't look
all that good. 75 people out of approx 550 are to be let off.
The cabin is paid for, so if I can't make it I'm hoping that riverman
can, and will, use it.
Will know more in two weeks.

I was looking forward to seeing IJ, Bruce and Willi, but I am trying to go
anyway. Some hikes sound good to me. I'd like to get a room at the Slide
Inn but last I checked none were available. Preferrably a single. If
anyone cannot go for some reason let me know before you cancel your
reservation. Otherwise I'll look into the cabins farther downstream. I'm
at about 80%.

The film crew has recently been subjected to stern admonishments from the
Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and an ominous silence
emanating from west suburban Philadelphia. The union is making ugly noises
and the National Endowment for the Arts is conducting an investigation.
There has been talk of excommunication, exorcism.....and execution. For the
nonce, the film crew will not be quitting its day job. :(

Hi All,
I read through the thread.
I have an opportunity for someone.
A friend of mind booked us into a time share thing in Island Park, Idaho a
few months ago so we could attend my first clave. (He went to the Swedish
Clave.)
I can't go to this one. And he won't go if I don't for some stupid reason.
Here's what it is.
resevations : July 7-July 14.
what: 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo, everthing furnished, all kitchen,
fireplace, said to sleep 4. Usually no smoking in the places, but just go
outdoors.
My friend said it would be $70.00 per night for the place. Ya pay for the
week.
It is Island Village Park Resort. Located 22 miles from the West entrance
of Yellowstone.
Web address is:
http://www.rci.com
Then you have to go through goop to get to resort number: 0027.
Lots of on-site amenities.
My friend's name is Don Stern. I have no affiliation with the resort or
RCI. People just seem to get me places, as a guest and friend, to take
them fishin'.
The best bet would be to research the site first.
The address of the guy you want to talk to is:
.
You know how to remove it.
If you would cc: any emails to him to me . . . just want to know what is
going on.
BestWishes,
DaveMohnsen

Hey, if I want to fish for brookies and big ones at that, I can go to
Hawaii. Was watching the movie "10.5 Apocalypse" last night. When the
big tidal wave is getting ready to hit Hawaii, the tide goes way out
leaving fish stranded and flopping around. I played it over a couple
of times with the Tivo just to make sure my eyes weren't decieving me.
The fish were rainbows, browns and brookies.
Don't know if I want to hike for little brookies. Will see what the
week brings. Will have to leave by about midday on Saturday to make it
back to Omaha. If were still in the middle of the salmonfly hatch, I
ain't going nowhere but the Madison.

Last year I had a pair of inexpensive aqua stealth with no studs boots
for the boat. They were ridiculous on the Madison. I should have
known because it's tough enough there with the swift water and round
rocks. Now I have a big piece of carpet for the bottom of my raft, a
trick I got from Warren.

The Madison is like golf for me. 90% of the time I feel like an idiot.

Well, tonight they're going to make an inland sea from the Gulf of
Mexico up to South Dakota. Hey, I'll be able to fish for bones and
redfish in Nebraska. Cool. Then again, this morning I 'bout broke my
arm putting on deodorant (raised the arm under the open cabinet door,
nice lump and even bigger bruise), so the concept of a 10.5 here in
Nebraska is not all the far fetched.

I'm still fence sitting. I have the time free and will be in the

available during that week...the best I could find was Thursday to
Thursday, which would probably leave me all by my lonesome out there
for a few days.

I'd say I'm right at 50-50, until school lets out and I can remember
what it feels like to not be standing behind a 4-foot tall stack of
