TennesseeGuy Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Norma and I were to leave Sportsman's Lodge early on the 11th day of our stay, but heavy fog held up our flight by about 4 hours. Jim Booi made it from Trout Lake to Little Vermilion in his Cessna 185 for our scenic ride to Red Lake. We left the airways at Chukuni River Bridge, headed down Red Lake Road, crossed Bug River and took the first left onto a dirt road until arriving at a settlement of a few houses on Gull Rock Lake. I was looking for grt1, but saw nobody stirring. Making a cold call, I knocked at the front door of the second house in the neighborhood, expecting to find where grt1 lived. Bill answered the door. We finally met, after exchanging pleasantries on OFC the past few years. Norma talked us into holding still long enough for a quick photo before we headed on down the road to Grand Marais, MN and finally to our home of Cookeville, TN. Bill is wearing his lucky fishing cap and I'm the one with the wind blown hair. We missed visiting with DanC since he's in Kansas City watching fast cars making all left turns today.
Roy Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Now there's a good pic for the OFC archives for sure! Great shot. Glad you guys got to meet up. You could be brothers...you know that eh?
misfish Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Very nice. I hope to do the same with DanC aswell,someday.
irishfield Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Great stuff guys! Always fun making the world seem just a little bit smaller ! Edited October 10, 2011 by irishfield
Joey Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 That's a really great picture. Glad you too finally got a chance to meet
grt1 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 I was glad that you and Norma stopped by on your way home, it sure is nice to put a face to a name. Next year we will have to make sure you can cross "fish gullrock" off your bucket list. lets work on a date for that over the winter.
TennesseeGuy Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks Bill. We'll get it done. Sometimes I require a little coaching when trying new water.
solopaddler Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Nice. So how did your trip go Connie?
Roy Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Nice. So how did your trip go Connie? Yeah, that was my next question.
TennesseeGuy Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Mike and Roy, give me a couple of days. Been unpacking, doing yard work, putting my vegetable garden to bed and planning future fishing trips. I'll come up with something. 1700 miles on the odometer by coming home through Grand Marais, MN. #10 broke off at the gum on September 22 and I hope to see my dentist this morning. Gotta be able to smile Saturday morning when having breakfast with Herman Cain at 6:30 a.m. How long are those teeth supposed to last, anyhow?
