John

A very happy birthday Connie, have a great one. Look forward to the trip report when you return.

Great report, thanks for posting.

That's great news Lew. Hope that you and Diane have a wonderful summer. See you in August.

Thanks for a great report scuro

No worries Curt, just call Lakair and tell Kevin or Leslie how many people. Every one generally camps in one spot anyway.

Very happy one bud, have a wonderful day. John & Barbara

What Drew said.........

So the nudity starts promptly at noon? Great report as usual Glen....you on a diet?

I can do 6 per day. If we all get ourselves a few extra gMail accounts and two computers to vote from we should be there in no time.......

Absolutely right........not sure how much of a vacation it would be and how much you would see other than a hotel room and the inside of the minivan. You would need to average 100km/hr for 7 hours/day x 7 days/week x 2 = 9800kms....you are a brave man!

I am confirmed from the 18th to the 21st.....

Mark, The boat that I was considering on the west coast was new from a dealer. I would be VERY cautious about buying anything used that I couldn't see or try before I bought.

Warm welcome Jaques, great introduction, you will fit in really well here.

Not anymore Bill....I spent a week on it.

Mark, I was in a similar situation and had to leave a genuine amazing deal behind as I could not get an 18 1/2' boat here economically from Oregon. Because of fuel surcharges which have become absurd I could not get it here for less than $5000.00! Short of taking a week or two and driving out there I don't have a solution. Even at that, assuming 6,000 miles you are talking about $2,000.00 + alone for fuel plus hotels and food...........would add at least another $1,000.00

I think that we need more numbers guys and gals. I am voting 6 times a day....

Looks like a great time. Make sure that you continue to do lots more with your Dad. You will both never regret the time spent.

Just do what I do, swallow hard and quit thinking about it.

Thanks Joe I'm sure he'll drop in sometime....

Many thanks forrest. One of those is the thread that I was looking for... Cheers, J...

I have a bit of a dilemna. I just discovered recently that one of my key customers owns Hummingbird. Up until then I was almost certainly going to go Lowrance. I know that some of you high rollers have four figure $$$$ units but I am looking for something in $500 - $700 budget. I now know what Hummingbird makes (I understand that they have come a long way), what else is recommended in that price range and why.

Looking for somewhere in my area to get a trailering cover made. I am looking for something custom fit. Anyone have any recommendations or experiences good or bad?

3 more still 8th...........go girl!
