Part 2,
after some checking in the computer it was clear, the stuff is still in Dallas, all my rods, reels, tying stuff. Fortunately there was a flight going out in Dallas in a short time, they will it put in this plane. Used the time to grab the car, and took a seat at a internet pc. Mailed the list and went in the chat room. Was fun to meet Del, DonO and Eddie. They didn't beleave it.
Got my luggage later and moved to the car. Ride to flippin was fine, found
the meeting point and called Tony. Unfortuntely I messed up with the clock -
it was later than expected. Was really impressive to me to meet him and Jim
Gardfield the first time. I was pretty sure, that he is a fine gentleman but
the way he wellcomed me was great. I felt at once to be part of a great and
friendly family. I wish everybody to get this experience. I was somehow
home.
Looking for the ramada was a bit tricky. It is not at the I62, it is at the I62B. Needed some time to figure it out. Advantage was that I know have the map of MntHome in my mind. Room great, pool 5yards before my room. AC was not able to dry the air.
Next morning to Tony. After some hello and see who else is here he was so kind to take me with his boot to a nice spot for fishing. He didn't allowed me to use one of my flies, he tied 2 Chilly Pepper for me and gave it me. One for loosing one for fishing. Caught 2 nice rainbows with them before Tony took us back. The ride back was wet and exciting. Maybe we were too fast or we had too much weight in the boat. Caught a bigger wave, the boat pushed into and the man in the bow was wet. Boat caught some 20 gallons water, next wave was bigger and the vehicle had more weight, got more water into and the third wave was fair too big for the boat now. The boat could hardly go over the wave, tried to go through it and Tony was now the last man in the boat to get wet. We stopped and started exhausting the vessel. Managed to keep it on top of the water and returned to the dock.
Part 3 will come later... you see, it was a great adventure.
