BTW it was 72 degrees at 2 am at Allatoona, got up into the upper 80s
by quitting time. REALLY missed that Rhinelander weather!

I'll just bet you do. LOL

It's been raining here nonstop till today. I put the leathers on and
rode over to the drugstore in the next town. It was a bit brisk...But
refreshing :}

Glad to hear you made it safely to the tourney and caught fish.

Had a great time in Rhinelander, as usual. Thanks to Steve and Janet
for all you do to make the trip good. I was disappointed in my finish,
dropping to 4th, but that's fishing.

Left Rhinelander Saturdayat 9 am GA time and it was 34 degrees with a
predicted high of 72. 16 hours, 45 minutes and 1001 miles later I
pulled into the parking lot at Gault's Ferry landing on Lake Alltoona
at 2 am. Slept somewhat for three hours in the truck then fished a club
tournament. Got two keeper spots - on on the prototype spinnerbait Joe
made for me and another on the same rocky point on a jig and pig.
Together they weighed 3,81 pounds, good for 7th place. Worth it, I
guess. After another 80 miles I got home at 4 pm on Sunday.

Already looking forward to next year!
