BassMaster 7 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I see that you are digging for a post from me (pun intended). You neglected to mention the 9 fishing rods, 2 cane poles, 2 fans, castnet, buckets, enough extension cords to grab an open outlet at the Grand Floridian, my campfire/firepit chairs that you can't seem to keep your camo-wrapped buttocks out of (especially after you forgot or broke your anti-gravity lounger chair), crock pot, griddle, etc, etc. 4 days, baby, and it was worth the packing, and we never broke out the microwave. Truth be told, I had such good memories that I had forgotten about the skeeters. Damn, them boys was ginormous. BTW, if any of you fiends happened upon some of them suckers flying haphazardly around the 1300 loop. That's where my brother and sister in law were staying. When they are camping, vodka flows continuously. As such, the skeeters in the 1300 loop were drinking bloody marys. When they hit the bug zapper they lit up like candles.MD, I really appreciate your attention to detail and I promised myself that I would try to do the same during the next trip. And I am DEFINITELY going to take more photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ben and my Mama would get a long well, she would love to have the trailer to take more stuff with her! The mosquitos were terrible, but I was so numbed from the heat they didn't bother me much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ok, you have totally redeemed yourself with this update!Paul McCartney, Grateful Dead & The Brady Bunch. :thumbsup1:That's a heck of a trailer Ben has, I'm sure I could stow away in there and he'd never notice. Of course, I'll have some brew with me, so he won't kick me out when he does finally spot me. I am not above bribing.I'm not a heiny fan (Beer type, anyhow) I do enjoy the Lime A Ritas now and again, but I've not tried Magic Hat and we all know I'll try anything once.I always look forward to your next update....which music? which beer?

MetalDad 33 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've been playing some old Paul McCartney and Wings music on Pandora lately as I cook. Brings me back to childhood working in the greenhouses on the farm during the spring.We're so sorry, Uncle Albert. But we haven't done a bloody thing all day.Anywho, loved the update. And I really like the look of the black decals on the pup with the truck. Very stylish!I love me some Paul & Wings...I'm a true product of the 70's and that section of his catalog is really my favorite stuff.Great update. It was #9 in my cooler that week as well. Only I ran out. And I heard rumor you were out cold when I was looping... next time I'll know that's exactly when I should stop by.Yes, It seems everyone was out and about whence I snuck into my bunk...more on that in the TR!Magic Hat #9 might as well have a Coleman logo on it because it is vital camping gear!Great update!Thanks for reading along!Ben and my Mama would get a long well, she would love to have the trailer to take more stuff with her! The mosquitos were terrible, but I was so numbed from the heat they didn't bother me much!Ben's easy to get along with. It's only taken me 22 years, but I finally get along with him!Ok, you have totally redeemed yourself with this update!Paul McCartney, Grateful Dead & The Brady Bunch. :thumbsup1:That's a heck of a trailer Ben has, I'm sure I could stow away in there and he'd never notice.

It's the sights, sounds, and smells...a sensory recall of a camping trip by an electronic friend. Trying to be as thorough as possible. You know the smells of the Fort...horses, tar, boat fuel exhaust, bus exhaust, chlorine, busy comfort station, sweaty tourist on a bus... and freshly lit charcoal! It's all part of the experience!

The vision of mosquitos drinking bloody marys and bursting into flames almost made me spit my coffee. :rofl3:Yes, you did pack all that extra stuff that I failed to mention. There was some degree of superfluous (read: a lot!)11 different fishing poles... You should stick with the Barbie and Spiderman poles, they catch all the fish!And, a castnet? at the Fort? why not dynamite or lazers...really hedge your bets!Honestly I love that you got my kids into fishing. My attention span is too short!Yes, I do sit in your chairs. Because mine are always covered in your 79 different wet Gators towels!I'm not even getting into the microwave discussion. I have a gas cooktop and a Paul Jr. grill. Food tastes better and is way more fun when there's fire involved. Ummm... crockpot was a good idea though.We need a bug zapper...and vodka... I wanna try that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BassMaster 7 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Dynamite and Lasers.....suffice it to say, I own both.....left both at home. I did enough damage with the plastic worms and the small (bass) bite-sized bluegill's. Also caught a couple of catfish and a couple of turtles (they love that chicken skin).

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hey John-Good job launching your trip report just as I was leaving on a cruise.I just had to catch up reading all 5 pages.Where the heck are the photos of Ben's moustache?Speaking of moustaches, it looks like Chris, the CM at the guard shack has finally trimmed his. Here's an older photo of Chris from the TCD archives:I loved the Brady Bunch photos. The last time I saw that episode, I loved how Mr. Howell stole the Brady's pop-up by driving off with the thing while it was still popped up!That was awesome.Anyhow, I'm back now, so bring it on!TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to hearing about the cruise!Ben's photo is in the next update!That's his name, Chris... Now if he could just find a hat that fit him properly! He's a great welcome committee!I always loved that episode. It was a 2-3 parter. Most people only remember them camping at the floor of the Canyon and the Indians, and forget about Jim Backus and the ghost town part. They had a cool vintage PUP, and there's a photo coming up in the TR that shows a guy on our loop with almost the same model. That is what put it in my mind in the first place. I just had to find a spot, and that overflow shot of my rig provided the opening! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The moustache dug it though!I agree with Stache. I liked all 4 brews out of last year's fall sampler. This year's is Hex, IPA, #9 and one to be announced Aug 1.Looking for a Left Hand Brewing sampler. I made my own...more on that later!Tease. Learning from TCD I see.

There's two things I love that I won't try to make myself... Beer and Sushi.Beer, because I'm not that patient, and Sushi...well, for obvious reasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BassMaster 7 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 MD, had you been around camp when I snatched that couple-pounder from the canal behind our loop, (instead of dole whipping with your family), you could have tried your hand at creating the first MD Bass Roll a la Fort. There is plenty of green, slimy algae at the bottom of the canals that resembles seaweed for garnish. You just need an extra large clump of wasabi to hide the flava; "Fiendishly delicious".BTW - I am ashamed that my son and I haven't "done the Dole" yet. Give me time, I'll get there. Something to look forward to during the next 22 years, my friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
