Tomcat Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share 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.

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.

chris.brock Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share 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!
