Yeah, when I saw that grey wall of weather coming at me over the elkhorns, I didnt want any part of that. I headed right back to shore. I was the young man in the furry commie hat, with the brown furry coat. yeah, i dig hardbacked shanties. the wind can blow like h*ll, and you are just as comfy as if you were at home. I only have a clamshell, and i almost got blown away the last time i tried to useit at the causeway. its a bummer i didnt get to run into you guys, I was looking forward to it. are you guys going out to the lions perch dreby?
