Today the General and I had a discussion about this year's trip. We are definitley starting from the Highway One Rapids and canoeing all the way to his land past the second crossing of the river on Highway Six. He just bought 140 acreas with a nice chunck that is river front property.
We talked about two different locations for campsites. This year's is going to be where he establishes a work base for the future construction projects. It is going to be a quick job done basically so we just have a place to put the tents this year. Nevertheless, next year we are going to have a spot that is just killer the way it is set up. We will actually have a stream that we run up to get to the campsite. It is going to be TITS to say the least.
We also talked about who is going on the trip this year. Well, Em and I have broke up so she will no longer be a part of this tradition, however, in a few years I hope to be taking some of my kids on this trip to give them a taste of true camping. Anyway, the crew we have so far this year is The General, Duckie, Crazy Joe and a friend of mine. This person is going to be this year's FNG. That is ok though, it is always awesome to introuduce the joy that is this trip to someone new.
So that is about it, I have provide the tenitive schedule of what we are going to be doing this year on the trip. I will provide more details as the game plan developes.
Until that time arrives, I will remain...Crazy Joe.
The story of The Bigfork River Runners begins back in 1996. It was the end of my first year of higher education and to celebrate I put together a motley crue of friends to take a canoe trip down the Bigfork River on Memorial vacation. The trip was a blast to say the least; since then we have carried on the tradition of canoeing the river every year on Memorial Weekend. Through this blog The Bigfork River Runners will share their stories and pictures from trips past and trips to come.
