Yes, more. Definitely more!

wellhell...this is fun so far. think i'll stick around to see where
we're goin next. excellent stuff george...thanks. ...esp. liked the
paneless parts. with you and claspy and wolf and knight around in the
yoop next month, the campfire's gonna be an entertaining place.

And John......don't forget John. Maybe we can get him to dance for us!

To whom, incidentally, I spoke not ten minutes ago. He's agreed to
driving up separately.....he'll be coming up over the Big Mac (if they
haven't blown it up by then) while I circle around and come in from the
west. Figured if we get you in a crossfire it'll be harder to miss
you.

We'll have three kayaks between us and John has promised a veritable
feast in the bottom of the Sturgeon Falls gorge. He is also hell-bent
on Fishing the Fox and the Two Hearted. Early in the trip probably
works best since we'll already be further east than in past ventures.
This also works out better for meeting Wayne who, when last heard from,
was planning to be there Saturday, the 9th. Bill has not yet
confirmed, but I believe mid week was his best guess. Not sure when
and where we'll meet him, but he was working on getting access to the
family cabin......which puts us back on familiar turf in the
west......as does Fisher's shack which is also available.

George?

Mid-week is looking good.

I only dance naked....and you don't want to see that....

anyhow my plans are leaving Dayton, Oh, on the 7th or 8th or thereabouts and
returning via any route on the 15th or 17th or thereabouts. If that helps
anyone I've got a big van.

Sturgeon Falls dinner will be filet mignon, with potatoes (recognize *that*
spelling?

) and green peppers and garlic and onions and other stuff all wrapped in
aluminum foil and roasted in the embers....I'll keep the receipt and charge
accordingly. The wine is on me and I'll pack it all in!

Eh? A traveling fly shop? Hm........yeah, I suppose we could work
something out.

I'm considering taking the trip.
General dates, meeting location..

The only firm items currently on the itinerary are meeting Jeff at the
airport in Marquette at 2:07 p.m. on Friday, September 8 (John and I will
both be there), and returning him thither sometime on Saturday, the 16th.

Personally, I have no strong preferences concerning where to fish. John,
Jeff, Wayne and Bill have all expressed a desire to fish the Fox and the Two
Hearted. The Two Hearted is roughly a hundred miles to the east of
Marquette. John also wants to go back to the Sturgeon (which we fished
together last year), and Bill and I are most familiar with waters from there
on to the west. He and I both have access to relatively comfortable
accommodations in the Bruce Crossing to Kenton area. All of this is about
eighty miles to the west of Marquette. Bill and George (whose preferences
are as yet unknown) both plan to arrive around mid-week.

What all of this boils down to is a number of potential logistical problems
with regard to scheduling times and places for meeting. While the distances
involved are not overwhelming, I understand that some of the participants
have a limited amount of time available and would like to hit the water as
soon as possible. To complicate matters, cell phone coverage is spotty in
the U.P. It is reliable only in towns.....which is exactly where we will
NOT be most of the time. The only way to assure that we'll be able to meet
later arrivals is to make firm plans in advance.....changes MAY be possible,
depending on who can get in touch with whom by phone, but there is a real
risk that we'll be out of contact.

The best we can do is for anyone planning to attend to let me know as far in
advance as possible when they intend to arrive and where would be convenient
to meet. I'll do my best to accommodate based on how well conflicting
schedules can be overlapped.

I hope you can make it.

Here I am. Just back from a Yoop-length drive in the opposite direction, so
now ain't the best time for me to commit to ANOTHER long drive in a month's
time. Less'n a month! Hellfire!

That said, I'm headed nort' on Wednesday the 13th. My suggestion to the
clavemeister was for a rendezvous on the Fox that afternoon. There is both
a nice campground right (RIGHT!) on the river as well as a motel in Seney,
as I recall. If being in the middle of the peninsula on Wednesday works for
you lads, I'm all for it. I'll probably pull in mid afternoon sometime.
Beyond that, I'm up for just about any destination, although given my
druthers, I'd rather head west than up to the Two Hearted. Though I can't
remember exactly when it was the fly-in boys are departing (Friday?
Saturday?) and will bow to whatever decision fits their flight schedules.

Family accomodations are up in the air and more likely to be unavailable
than otherwise, unfortunately. We'll consider it a windfall if it happens.

Glad to hear you are joining us, Frank! I'll bring the full first aid kit
and bear repellant.

That was if Wayne could get away and get as far as Grayling on Friday
night. My actual departure date from Indy will be dependent on the
Catholics financial closing calendar.

I am working on meeting a few friends with cabins and connections in
the area (and hunting dogs) for the grouse opener that Saturday. Who
else is up for a little casting and blasting at the end?

wtf is "the catholics financial closing calendar?" so far, all i know
is wolfgang, asadi, frank and i will be at the marquette airport at or
about 2 pm on sept 8. where we're going from there isn't real clear,
except we'll be yoopin somewhere east or west of marquette...meeting
claspy for poetry on the fox river, finding g.c. somewhere west of
marquette, and perhaps finding you somewhere if the catholics allow. i
spent most of the day in the midst of, and fomenting, arguments about
whether the best interests of a child would be served by sending her to
a private catholic school or a public school. those catholics can be a
ruthless lot, so don't let them know you want to go fishing. g

that's when i figure out how much additional "reserve cash" we made from
operations for the prior month.
