Greg Bock found there wasn't enough port to weather the storm.
Or was it too many ports and not enough storm.

He had a little rest and cooled off ( we stripped him of his freezer suit as he was cooking inside it)
We felt a little heartless taking the photos, but hey, we know he'd do the same for us.

You really should.
It's totally kid friendly too. Bring a tent or stay in the bunk houses.
If you decide to come up, give us a hoy and I'll throw in an extra mount and scope so you don't have to haul yours up.

Thought I'd throw in some of the pics I took in and around Camp Duckadang, including those miserable spht-spht-spht-spht sprinkers that ran all-flaming day that fed that all conquering fog...

I have one single frame where you can make out 4 people in the corner but that's about it unfortunately. It only took photos every 4 seconds and the lens was so wide angle that I didn't get anything.

I actually turned around when I saw you guys because I didn't want to scare away any fish or anything otherwise I would have flown by.
