Any interest?


This would be a good opportunity to finally put to rest the
Fawn Lake rumor.


What we need is an expedition equipped with GPS devices and
digital cameras.


Any volunteers ? Jeffie ?


if you agree to show up, and we have at least one other disinterested
person accompany us to record and report the event...sure, i'm in.


how about a bet? i say and bet there's a fawn lake. *you say and bet it
doesn't exist. loser pays the other's roundtrip airfare to bozeman, buys
the night's meal and beer in the park, and makes a public statement on
roff admitting the other person was right about fawn lake. i think i can
walk us to the lake without a gps...it's just beyond the backcountry
campground...but bring your gps. *don't worry, i'll have a camera.
gotta have a photo of you at the lake. we'll get warren to come along
too. we can fish two small brookie streams and the lake. @ 12 miles
roundtrip as i recall. *i'm old, and i'm miserably out of shape...this
will give me another reason to get fit.

Whoa friends. Why not make the bet a bit more in line with the times
and such? After all it is just a disagreement about the geography of a
place of which neither of you guys are resident. Good people can be
good and wrong; it is normal. I suggest that he who loses the bet gets
to buy me a new Sage rod. That would be fair.

Don't have much of an opinion on whether or not the suggested payout
would be fair, but I think it bears keeping in mind that the bet has
already been won.

Still, ya almost gotta give the doughboy credit for tenacity.....if
not originality. Many a twelve year old boy has used the tactic of
eternal insistent denial to his advantage. No, it doesn't convince
anyone.....but it generally wears them down eventually.
