Horseshoe Challenge is on August 2nd Who is down? Changed date

This is great. A self-empowering excersise. Connecting with the Mother. Riding on her heaving bosom to places yet to be fished on kayaks. A spirit quest. Well, that should scare Jim.

Dustin you wont regret it. Except for the pain part.

"Pain is your friend, your ally it will tell you when you are seriously injured. It will keep you awake and angry and remind you to finish the job and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain? .... it lets you know you're not dead yet." Viggo Mortensen (Master Chief John Urgayle) in G.I. Jane

"You don't know what pain is!" - Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill) in Silence of the Lambs

"Hey Chappy, this ain't no effing whorehouse..... It's the m-effing Guns of Navarone brother. NOW JUMP!"-redyak

I am scared but still excited. I am trying to head up Sat night and be there bright and early. 5:30 is a little early to get there by but will try. I will need all the energy I can get this day. Going up and down at least 4 times will wear my ass out!

 We will probably look and see the conditions, go over the route, then start to portage. We may only get to do this once so it will be worth it. I am not going to race to get to the water. There will be plenty of time to take it slow and easy.

I want to go but my truck need a brake job so I'm hesitate to take it over the steep hills after Jenner.  If anyone going and have room for 1 more yak, I'll happy to pitch-in for the gas or if you only have room for a passenger (no extra yak) then I can tag along to take pictures and ab dive from shore.

Sonny ,I could give you a ride Santa Rosa if you wanted . I'm camping out tonight with Bloodbath and friend .David .

Thank you for your offer David.  We promised a friend to come for his house warming party this afternoon and probably won't be back until this evening.  I don't think you can wait for me that late since you're camping-out tonight.
