Mooch says he's giving up yaking for paddleboarding with a flyrod.

That is awesome, but you can't leave NCKA...  We will find you. 

So.. when do we get our "I survived the Del Valle Fish & Chill" T-shirts?  Everyone who was there late Saturday night deserves a badge of courage.  That frickin' wind and rain was nuts.  I had visions of the group needing to evacuate the campground at 3 in the morning.

Well, I have tried all week to do this, but going to take a lot longer to finish than I though.  Here is a preview of what I have come up with.

Very cool Al! I also have design in mind but unfortunately = I'm not much of an artist
