Re: August Trek - Nor Cal
We'll cook several. I'll name them appropriately.

Apparently Mike's the lucky one, at least he's still got his head. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: August Trek - Nor Cal
I think we need pics of the fish with names attached so we know which is which.

Re: August Trek - Nor Cal
Is there a story behind the fish? You should give em a little back story.

Thank God, you said "plan" not pan !Greg wrote:Already in the plan!
With regards to the back story, Remling could be the "one that got away".

Re: August Trek - Nor Cal [PICTURES]
So we set out on our lovely way last Monday. After gearing up near our strange, elvish four-wheeled horse-free buggy, it vanished into thin air and we set out to find a suitable place to cross the creek that extends out north from Lake Hennessy in order to find an appropriate campsite for the remainder of our time there.

We encountered some incredibly thick marshlands. Many of you might know them as the Dead Marshes. We simply called them "Hell." It seemed fitting, considering the thick reeds and copious amounts of mud that were trodden through.

Unfortunately, the Ranger outpost (campsites, for any laymen reading) that we had expected to be present apparrently were torn down. But we traveled around the lake in earnest, attempting to find a place where we could settle ourselves down that was away from the strange black paved road, where we could avoid attracting attention. But alas, a happy ending was not yet to be. We had traveled into forbidden territory, and were rescued only just in time. A pair of Eagles happened by, and they picked us up (and ALL of our gear, which was surprising) and carried us nearly twenty miles south to a different area that could take us to a similar destination along our road. After some travel on foot, we reached our base camp, with much rejoicing.

Aaannd...the rest is on its way. I have rehearsal at the church that I have to head out for.
