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?
