Tomcat Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Another outstanding trip report complimented with great pics and videos. Certainly an added bonus was the 3 generations on the trip - and watching your two kids enjoying themselves so much - Wow. I've got two grandsons, 4 and 2. While I have to wait a little while before I can plan similar trips with them, I very much look forward to that time. Thanks for sharing the adventure Mike.
atvaholic Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Wow, great trip had by adults and kids! Looks like a great time! Thanks for Sharing..

solopaddler Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Posted August 2, 2011 Mike, I think you should fork out a $50 bill for that beauty Don't you think?? Ummmmm....let me think about that. No! Yesterday it was paineful when she took the last 20 from me. I suppose that'll become more and more common as she gets older LOL! Once again thanks for the kind words everyone, glad you enjoyed.
Basskicker Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Don't know how I missed this report....wow Mike. Your kids must have had a blast....The wife and I stayed in that exact cabin when we were there last fall on O'Sullivans the first night....really nice people to deal with. Cheers Jason
chris.brock Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 great report, I hope I get to Abamasagi some day I thought Howard, Elsie and their son were great too, they may not say much, but their service and helpfulness are awesome as a side note, we had to follow Elsie down a gravel logging road, we could barely keep up, it was pretty cool
Brendan Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Hi everyone! Riley caught the biggest but I caught the most. (Note from dad: Brendan bugged me to death to post this. He felt a bit left out I think.)
adempsey Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone! Riley caught the biggest but I caught the most. Just tell your sister that the most fish = elite skills and the biggest fish = pure luck Edited August 4, 2011 by FishLogic
donovac Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Another awesome report Mike, looks like a great trip. The kids will never forget it. And thanks for taking up nice part of my work day reading thru your reports!
Dave Bailey Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 If envy is one of the seven deadly sins then you've just ensured that the rest of us are spending eternity in the fiery furnace! And being able to share that with your family makes it perfect.
