That was a really great reporting of your two weeks, kinda like I was there. I'm really glad to hear your dad is on the mend.
Really nice of that Chris guy to give you some musky tips. I will bet you'll be going back to that one spot for many years to comme to get the the one that got away. That's always the way it works, and one day you will get her Just having one on is a total thrill as far as I'm concerned.
Great that you made some new friends that you can meet up with for years to come. We've met a few like that at Lakair and a few other campsites. Its a great feeling when you see them again and know their names.
Oh, and really intersting story about the hermit guy too. Poor fella.
