Fall Ozark Rendezvous 2015

Going Paddling
#21

we were younger then
As I get older certain amenities mean more. Now camping without a cot to sleep on is a hardship.

#22

Golden Age Passport
Many of us have reached the pinnacle where we are eligible for what is now called “Senior Pass” - good for free entry to many National Parks and Monuments, and half-price camping fees at most federal sites. While I won’t be joining you folks at Pulltite, I recommend the $10 investment for anyone eligible…

Only about four weeks until …
canoeing with my friends on the Current River. Hoping for some good fall color and mild weather.

#24

You Can Come Down For a Preview…
…next week and we’ll do a few nights on the river in the new Elk habitat on the lower Current?

#25

Elk habitat in Spring?
Won’t be joining you folks this fall, but how about a similar trip before or after next spring’s Rendezvous Terry?

Brad

#26

Terry, you’d better watch out.
There will probably be some hork hanging around in that new elk habitat!

#27

Sounds like a Plan
Would love to do a river trip prior to the Spring Rendezvous

#28

No preview for me
I’m on my way to Lake Placid for my niece’s wedding. Then down to NYC to see my aunt and uncle. I also plan on stopping at the Gettysburg battlefield on the way home. Hopefully I can get a few days recuperation before heading to the Rendezvous.

#29

Bring back a Placid Shadow for me to
try out :slight_smile:

#30

Well Dave …
My plan was to pick up that Rapidfire from the PNet drawing a few months ago. Only problem was that I didn’t win.



I’d gladly pick up your Placid Shadow and take it to the Rendezvous on two conditions:


  1. Your Shadow is already paid for


  2. My shipping charges for such transport must be sufficient to cover the cost of a Placid boat for myself



    :slight_smile:
#31

You’ve been studying the Bob’s deal
making strategies.



I’ll have to take some time to consider your generous offer :slight_smile:

#32

I’ll help you…
I’ll help you with your gas expenses for the trip.

All I’ll need in return is a new Wildfire.

#33

That would mean a detour to Colden,
as well at the trip to Placid.

#34

Take some…

Take some vacation days, and have some fun.
Get out of Illinois for a few days; will probably do you good.

Just be sure & pick those boats for Vic, and for me.

RE the Wildfire
Too late on the Wildfire. I passed within 25 miles of Colden on my way to Lake Placid yesterday. Won’t be heading back in that direction



I’m heading to the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown. Then on to Coney Island to visit my aunt. Will then head home with a stop at the Gettysburg battlefield.



Then a few days at home to unpack, say hi to Cindy, the horses, dogs, and cats, then pack and head out to the Rendezvous.

#36

We are planning to attend
Any need for reservations?

#37

Good
It will be good to see you again, Peter. There should be no problem finding a campsite in mid-October at Pulltite campground. The campground host is usually gone by that time anyway and I don’t even know if there is any facility to make reservations after Oct 15.



Do you know what day you plan to arrive?

#38

Well, dadgummit. Y’all have fun!
Shut out again, this time by a full thickness rotator cuff tear. Good news is it’s fixed. Bad news is though I’m rapidly improving I won’t be wielding a paddle for a month or two.

#39

Sorry to hear that, Luke
Hope you have a speedy recovery.



Of course, you could still come, quaff libations at “high tea”, and watch Bob use his solar shower.

#40

Solar shower…
It would take more liquor than I drink at a rendezvous to get me to open my solar shower for general public use.



BUT, I would allow it’s usage by the cheerleading squads from the University of Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, or Tennessee.
