Mini wing nite will be held at Beacon Sports Bar on Friday, March 3rd between 6-? PM. The Beacon is located at 5044 Hermantown Rd, half way between Piedmont road on the Duluth side and US Hwy 2 on the West side. If you need more specific info contact me. This location will save 15-20 minutes each way for people arriving from the West, is 3.5 Miles from my place, and in Hermantown where a couple others live, that have shown interest. I'll be wearing this hat. I really look forward to seeing you. Beacon Sports Bar |

Awesome RR, This is looking to be great, I stopped by the Beacon today to confirm that it was Ok with them Friday evening. It sounds like its fine for ~8 people to gaggle up there at a table. |

I'll be in Duluth on Sept 9th, I'll be dining at Duluth Grill, and you're welcome to join me (us). I'll post again a short time before I leave WV. I'll also be dining in Grand Marais on Sept. 10th, 16th, 24th, and possibly the 15th. More details later. |

Will probably be a little late. I am fetching NCTRY and his truck now and will shuttle him around. |

Your wanting me to get awfully healthy, I hope I'm not going to be expected to carry your stuff too... Hahahaha! |

I have been a member 3+ years but have only met two members. (BeaV & BlueskiesWI) I have to return to AK on March 5th and will be gone for 8 months. I was wondering if anyone was available for a small get together before I go? Even if I only met one or two of you fellow paddlers, I would consider it a great honor. I am available anytime between March 1-4 but the 3rd/Friday would work out best, since I have to catch a 7:00 am flight to Anchorage on the 5th. I was thinking about this pub, it is in Hermantown and is quiet as well as spacious, it's called the Beacon. Any thoughts? PS, Friday the 3rd they have an all you can eat fish fry for 10.95. Their food is good. But I'm open to anything. Beacon Sports Bar |

I wouldn't call the Beacon a pub, more of a dive although it's been years since I've been there. |

quote pswith5: "Lt3, if you can't throw something together you could just come down to the cities for the Apple Valley wing night Saturday the 4th. We'd live to have you." Thanks but I have to catch a flight out at 07:00 the next morning 3/5/17. Rain gear, they fixed the Beacon up a few years ago, it's nice inside, the outside still looks like a dive, but I'm up for anything, I just threw out the Beacon. |

Gone eight months... Well it looks you are going to miss the next fall one in Duluth when boonie comes to town. Too bad I’m already committed to the Apple Valley gathering, otherwise I could have stopped on my way to the cabin. |

Ben, if you have been told not to drive, be a good boy and stay home tomorrow. My preliminary estimation for our upcoming Hunters trip is 190 miles, 35 of which are portages...you need to get strong, brother! |

quote boonie: It's a ways out there, but I'm sure I can join you in either Duluth or Grand Marais or both. I'm in Grand Marias much of the fall or in between the cities and Grand Marais. I would enjoy meeting some folks from BWCA.com in person as well. |

It was particularly fun for me because I had the pleasure of putting faces and names of other BWCAers together. We had 7 people including myself, which I thought was great, I really only expected to get a few together. 3 of us live within 5 miles of each other on either side of the Beacon. Farthest travelers were NCTRY from Goodland, and Bellolake from Deer River. Closest was JohnM from 2 houses west of the Beacon. At least 4 of us have done a few solo's. Wables showed us pictures of the 3 cedar strippers he has built. There was a new member that attended, VOBS/Joel, he paddles a lot in the BWCA and visits the BWCA site, I think a friend told him to come to the event. Joel also won the Fish prize by taking full advantage of the "All you can eat" fish fry :-) The last of us left about 9:00 pm when the band started up. Bellolake/Santa ;-) is coming to AK next August on his motorbike, I'm guessing the Reindeer are laid off in the summer, I offered up my solo to him if he makes it to the Kenai Peninsula, The names of us are in the second pic starting from myself with the bush hat, clockwise. Lindentree3/Linden JohnM/John Wables/Ben NCTRY/Ben RoundRiver/Mike VOBS/Joel. Bellolake/Chuck Thanks all for coming, we should do it again next year. |

quote LindenTree3: "I have been a member 3+ years but have only met two members. (BeaV & BlueskiesWI) Similar - I've been a member for several years but have not met anyone in person. Unfortunately, couldn't make it but could maybe catch you on your return depending on timing. |

Hoaf, JohnMN, & others - I hope we're able to connect in the fall. I'll leave WV on Sept 8th and will post about it a week or so before then. |
