Trucks all loaded and ready to head out at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Two weeks flyfishing at my club/camp on the storied waters of the Catskills and some time with my daughter, then on to Rendezvous. See you guys on the 21st

I can't wait.
The .300 EG/F Frankenrifle I'm putting together for Brace is nearing completion- stock is being varnished as we speak. (1948 EG with custom F wood) Looking sweet. Pics of the finished product soon. Claro walnut makes for a pretty Savage stock!

John, its not too late. Its only a teeny weeny weekend. Your new bride will surly understand Savage Excursion won't be the same without Saddlering. I'll even get some travel goodies that are copacetic with your dietary constraints. I already talked Joe Martin into giving you a foot massage. (Joe doesn't know that yet) Hope things are working out well for you and your new better half.

Joe even said he'll drive out and get you. But he doesn't know it yet. Do I smell a Bromance cookin'?

I heard that Keith is going to parachute in. I trust that Joe's map will give the airline pilot enough info to drop him right down on us.

Joe,
Do you know a property owner in Noxen name of Duane Morgan? He is a friend of my brother Eric. We all played some golf last weekend and he mentioned Noxen as his hunting camp. Owns a few acres there he says. His dad's family hunted there for years, originally from the Scranton W-B area. Small world type of thing.

I do have jump wings, but the army kept my chute .... and when I called American Eagle, they told me they won't give me a discount for early departure. If all goes well, wheels down at 1630 Friday, plus a pit stop at a Class 6 store, ETA there 1800. P.S. - Joe, to be an official, accredited cartographer, you need to add a declination diagram to your map.

Just looked at the weather forecast for Noxen next weekend. Not terrible, but could be better.
Now have less than a week to decide which safe dwellers will make the cut to head east. A decision I will labor over till the cheby gets put in drive oily Friday morn.
