You'll have fun, I'm sure. You'll definitely eat well from the sounds of the menu and the Bear retro is a real neat idea.

Be safe and shoot straight, looking forward to your return.

I'll bet somebody's going to pull a cork on a bottle of Basil's and maybe even enjoy a fine cigar or two!

Greg is our lead camp chef (he's a professional chef by trade) and he's kind of like Fred Bear-he can't wait to get to camp and get to roaming, so he's been up there for 9 days already.  The rest of the gang should've rolled in there last night late, so I'm sure a snort of whiskey was sipped and some camp chatter went to the wee hours.

I forgot to mention that Roger is also bringing a Bear bow with him from his dads collection, he just wasn't sure which one, so I didn't list it above.  Greg also picked up a 1961 Kodiak Magnum, but he's probably hunting with his trusty Shrew Scout Recurve.  Ron said that his first bow that he hunted with was a 1955 Kodiak, so he's excited about getting back to the tools that he started with almost 60 years ago.  

As for me, the truck get's packed this evening and then I'm pointing towards the Big Mac early tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll be in my favorite oak tree on top of banana ridge tomorrow night (we were up last month for a work bee and the ground was covered with acorns; more than I've ever seen).  

Thanks for all the well wishes, it's truly a special time for all of us and missing a year myself a few years back, I know how excited Ron is to be back in camp after missing last year due to some health reasons that are now cleared up.  Reports and pictures to come in just over a week.    :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:      :campfire:

Ah,  more west yet.  I have a lil place just outside Ford River (Escanaba).  I was up hunting the end of last week, but had to come home for this week.  I will likely head back up there Sunday morning for a few more days of hunting.  Scrapes are all over, the leaves are mostly down, frost is in the air and it is TIME....

Good luck up there
