About 40+ people showed up at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea HQ which impressed the FWS folks. Lots of work was done on the blinds. Big thanks to Steve (ilovesprig) and MoutchcallinMatt for getting all this organized. Thanks to Randy for the hospitality at his home and for manning the grill. We caught a break with the temps staying below 100.

Thanks also to everyone that showed up and pitched in. Kudos to Jason and staff at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR for also letting us show we CAN git r done

My cam had some problems later in the day so I didn't get the BBQ on tape. Wister is brutal on cams as we all know from what it does to our shotguns. The silt/dust and alkaline air are not the best for sensitive electronics.

Lots of good food at the BBQ like frog legs from Steve (ilovesprig), Redneckhunter's wife sent the magical brownies that disappear in 2 seconds and other good eats.

On the video we had a surprise visit when this dog came crashing out of the brush out in the middle of no where. Dave (calfowler) and I jumped back he surprised us so quick, I thought it was a rabid coyote charging us since I just saw the head pop out and a streaking canine charge toward Dave. Turned out it was Bobo the dog just headed over for a quick dip in the W11 pond we were working on. His owner's finally caught up to Bobo. Poor Dave, I think I heard him give one of those primal yawlps when you think you're about to get it.

Here's the video
