NC trip report
 

I took my new pop-up (well, new to me) on it's maiden voyage, along with the
wife, to Boone county to see what would unfold.

A delightful drive down I-64 and 77, beautiful scenery and we ended up at
Grandfather Campground. Not my favorite place to stay but I knew it was
there and it was handy.

We went out fishing the nest day and had a blast, catching many browns and
Mark stopped by for dinner. We made some hamburgers and chatted until it got
cool in the evening.

The next morning we went to see Tom Brown and met Greg and fell in love with
his campground. Greg was a good fellow.

We took in two different streams that day and caught many browns...of course
you never have you camera when you are catching fish, ain't that right?

On the second creek, I did a three quarter Reed. Water was shipping over top
of my waders, my hands no purchase and I stayed afloat only but the smallest
of miracles and my wife had to pull me out. Embarrassing.

On Friday we fished with Mark. Now, without Mark we caught fish, with Mark
we did not....hmmmmmm. Finished the day with a nice dinner and the good
company of Mark.

all in all, delightful trip.
