We missed you Gordie. I kept hearing about your fire jumping/cliff diving stunt the whole weekend. I hear lots of pics were taken and might show up??

To everyone who showed up it was good to meet you all and sorry the weather was so cold...  Mike H we owe you big time for those fine feasts you put together. I'll get in touch when the weather gets a little nicer and we'll do a float trip.

I'll throw some pics up this afternoon. I looked at a few of them last night and they were BITCHIN! ;D

Good times, good times.

As they say on the House Foundation-Some of the punchlines you missed if you weren't tuned in include:

"Bitchin"

"The Ritz Carthage"

"Drivin' In Memphis"

"I could have stayed in Montana for this."

"Walk  Hard"

"Blazing Saddles"

I'm sure there were more, but I can't recall them at the moment.

I got to meet some new fishing friends and had a great time.  Even got to lock the hubs in on the slick as calf slobber mud.  Caught a few fish though none were picture worthy. 

I took very few pictures since the place was over run with big guns.  They'll have to post a few for your viewing pleasure.  I'm keeping a few photos as insurance. I think it is a good idea to hold bac a few off the initiation ceremony with the goat just in case someone else may have an unflattering photo of yours truly.

Thanks to everyone that showed up, good times.  Thanks Jarrod for the hospitality and Mike Hill, thanks for the grub.  I'm going to donate a quart of transmission fluid to the cause in your name!


We build 'em heap big fire.



River Gypsy Village


Don't argue with the cook, he's packin' some real heat.


Chef Hill on the stove and Mike on the big gun.





Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."
