Diva & I were thinking the same thing. He was about the right height. And bFoot would not look at us when we were trying to look into his eyes. Not sure if he had any EC in his backpack. We should have checked. Our second choice was Adam. It could have been either one. |

04/29/2012 10:07PM  Oh Jan you were missed and here's a little something you missed! Did some Dutch Oven cooking and it was somewhat successful. Chuck Wagon Stew and Pumpkin Dump Cake! I will have to make a double batch of the dessert as it was wiped out pretty fast! Yummy! Only a few know of my 'secret' ingredient! Many thanks to all who had me laughing and smiling late into the night! Met Frenchy19 who shared his Dealy-bob's with me. That was so generous! Thank you so much! First thing my hubby said when he saw 'em was, "Wow these will work really great for lashing the fishing poles into the canoe!" :) Finally got to meet AndySG. Was wonderful to get the chance to get to know each other. Had a blast the last night at the fire late. Only those there know how I once came to be sitting in canoe along Interstate 90. lol ALso got to meet up with Tuscarora Borealis and Vickie and of course the cutest little camper Aurora along with her big sister, ? Sorry can't remember right now. So nice to see Coriolis and Doris. Soo glad you made the trip again to see us all. Bellolake and Liz always glad to visit with you! Liz was my DO helper! Thanks so much! Lots more new faces I got to meet, Suncatcher(Pauly) OneMatch(Jerry and his guitar-sweet!) Tremolo. Many more I hope to see again and get to know better. Mooseplums and Mr. Barley, great to share my yearbook with ya! Great times! Had a blast! Looking forward to Fall WN when we all will have more BWCA stories to share!

Fortunately there is currently very little discomfort. Since I also won one of the big prizes in the raffle the next day, I guess I'd have to say there is such a thing as karma? ;-) That said, had a great time with lotsa great people. And, FINALLY, (after many a close call)got to meet mooseplums in person. It was worth the wait! :) |

04/29/2012 12:40PM It was fun to see everyone. I LOVED the paddling. I got to try a solo plus and a wilderness thanks to Ben. Trumpet Swans and low flying birds with yellow bellies (swallows?) in the twilight. I wish I had pics of all the people paddling. Jerry sang with the ladies of Diva and that was amazing too. I really like the song "Once a Week". I would love to hear a recording of it the way you sang it Sat night with Diva Ladies. Maybe on your next CD. Bobbwca-- I envy you bought an Advantage. I loved paddling one all last summer. I fell in love with that boat. I hope your daughter thrives in the Marines. I bet you are proud of her. All the things she must have experienced as your paddle partner will serve her well. Bellolake and Mrs Bellolake-- have a wonderful motorcycle trip this summer. Maybe someday we can have dinner at Good Thymes? Mooseplums, Katie is a mellow awesome dog. You make a nice pair. It was good to meet you, even if briefly. Thanks to those of you who did all the work putting it together. Apollo had a blast. He says thanks. Molo |

04/28/2012 03:26PM Nothing better than sitting around a fire talking to a bunch of funny intelligent witty people. The jokes were coming a thousand miles an hour. Listening to JB and Suncatcher trade barbs back and forth was hilarious.JB and Sunnie, really great to meet you both . Got to see my favorite Packer fan Trix. It was great meeting Diva,Kendra and the Killer Bs, Izzy, sleeping pad and bag, Andy G, Tony, Tuscarora Borealis and so many others I cant remember them all. Jb and Diva the two of them together are a force of nature. It was good to see Mooseplums again always great to talk to. Can somebody remind the screen name of the Horse guy I was talking to, very interesting conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to all that worked so hard to set this up, thanks to Kendra and the log splitters for the beautiful fire. Thank you Izzy for that amazing venison sandwich, that was the best I ever had, and also the smoked trout it was delicious. Its funny how fast the time flew just hanging out and enjoying good company . I have to mention something else. I have never been lost in the bwca but I was lost totally in Rebecca Lake Park last night. I committed the sin of every male driver when I thought I knew exactly where I was going. I went in through the main entrance and drove down every legal and illegal road in the park looking for the camground. I did see something very cool however when I drove down this (authorized personnel only) road and came out into this clearing. There was a small lake area and in it were a bunch of Beautiful Trumpeter Swans, it was beautiful. Well back to my story, after I found my way back out from that detour I had to call my daughter and have her log onto this site to get me ( correct) directions to wingnight. She was giving me directions with just a little sarcasm in her voice , it was pretty amusing and (humbling). |
