Here I am once again sitting on the eve of the annual Memorial Weekend Canoe Trip. The River Runner's are pumped and primed to get on the water and have a little fun under the beautiful Minnesota sun. The weather looks to be fair for the most part. A touch cooler than normal, but I would rather have it a little chilly as opposed to a hot and humid weekend. Those just aren't as much fun because the heat and a hangover don't tend to mix really well. We may get that touch of rain, but the forecast has been changing so much that I'm not really sure what to expect. Doesn't matter though. Little Mama and I have packed the right clothes for whatever Mother Nature has to through at us.
Just got off the phone with The General. The plans are set and we are pretty much good to go on all aspects of the trip. All we need to do is make sure we hold true to what is our responsibility and pray that the others hold true to their's. It is amazing the planning that goes into this trip. The logisticas alone can boggle the simple mind.
Ok, well I have been on the phone non-stop for the last few hours just setting things straight. So I must say farewell untill I'm able to add to the blog with stories from the 2011 trip.
Until next time 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.
