I'm still on for the trip! Some one gonna have a ice auger? I'm all for fishing! I've got a gas auger too, just nowhere to haul it with my sled. Nick

Got one at the Cabin. You back from the over the top?

Yep, made it back. It was probably the best ride I've been on! Great views on the Taylor Hwy!

Just got back from Deadman flew out with Myles. If you have a favorite pole and lure bring it along. The lake has pike in it. I have a couple poles and lures you can use if you don't bring any.

Meet at Sams 6:30 or leave the Monderosa at 9 sharp.

My home phone is 479-8302 and cell is 590-1943 call the house first I don't keep the cell on. Leave me a message if you have any questions. I will bring my seglin with 15 gal of gas and an action packer. So there will be room on it for other peoples stuff.

Gosh I hope Myles has good BEER!!

Thanks Tim,

What size is your Siglin ? I should be able to get all my gear on the BC, but do have some spare action packers if anyone needs to use one to load on the Siglin.

I'm going to plan on bringing my toboggan so I can bring a sixer of gas and my "stuff", got to have my stuff with me, and have extra space if needed to haul whatever. It's going to be a nice weekend!

Sounds nice to me! Got most of my stuff ready on my sled today before work, put some new carbides on it.

We won't be at the meeting this week due to work... can we get a copy of the pictures form this past weekend? We had a blast, even when I (Jewell) got stuck a million times!!
