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.

Whoa friends. ...

Whoa is right. There's no way in hell *I'm* going to schlep all
the way up there. That would defeat the purpose of the whole
exercise which is to get *Jeffie* to schlep all the way up there.

Again. LOL !!

as i suspected. all hat, no cattle.

Not quite.

It's actually a no hat, no cattle scenario. The doughboy knows that
he screwed the pooch several years ago (well, actually, it was the
pooch that "got lucky".....assuming it had low standards and
expectations......but your average canid takes what it can find under
a barstool, I guess), and knows that nobody is buying any of his
pathetic bull****. This is what happens in a no retreat, no way
forward, and no room for lateral movement situation.

It would all be ineffably sad (to your average humanist) if it weren't
so GODDAMN FUNNY!

it's a pleasant hike, great scenery, and a lake with big brook trout.
two small streams...headwaters of the gardner and fawn creek, full of
brook trout.

Speaking of brookies, I heard a bit of a program on climate change on
public radio yesterday. Best guess predictions based on current best
bet climatological models are that coulee country could well lose
anywhere from 30 to 90 percent of its brook trout suitable habitat in
the next half century or so. I say **** a bunch of Fawn Lake and get
back up here in early June. Deluxe accommodations. Home cooked
meals......and everything you ever wanted to hear about chestnut,
walnut, butternut, hickory, hazel, etc......all at no extra charge.
Hiking available on request.....if you insist.

i'd love to go back again. *but, having done it twice, the
third time will be simply to prove yellowstone kenny doesn't know what
he's talking about.

Hm.....

Stretch yourself. Prove that the sun rises in the east. Prove that
birds can (mostly) fly. Prove that fire is hot. Prove that trees have
roots. **** a bunch of doughboy. EVERYBODY already knows that the
doughboy is the perennial poster child for bathos. It's been done to
death. Even the ceritifiable idiots here know that the doughboy is a
sad joke.

i think he's saved me the effort by his refusal to
back up his ignorant bluster.

Correction; you've KNOWN that for years.....as have the rest of us.

Still, favorite toy non disputandum est, ainna?

giles
who is seriously considering hosting a gathering in the driftless area
of southwestern cheeselandia in early june if there is any interest.
for now, suffice it to say that there are many many miles of superb
trout water (in terms of production, if not necessarily everybody's
personal aesthetic ideal) within thirty minutes drive.....not to
mention a ton and a half of sublime (if not necessarily grandiose)
scenery. three beds and tent space for a hundred or so
available......book early, book often.
