It was a hellaciously long drive (17hrs) but it was worth it in just the time spent with some old and new friends. The picture of Rich with the 1/2 chicken hanging out of his mouth kind of sums up the fun we had. I suppose the half dozen or so bloody mary's he had did'nt hurt the festivities either. It was a pleasure staying at Rich's new "cabin" in the UP, finally meeting "Blind Dog" Fred Preston and Rich's good buddy Dick. Fred, that BHE you have is to die for. Mark, thanks once again for the pics. Your dedication to the photographic art form is wonderful. I am proud of the pics I got of you on the flurry breaking that bird into pieces. And last but not least is Eric who shot his Limey gun as good as one can shoot. He actually shot it better than his beautiful Parkers. He made some second barrel kills on the pigeon ring that had to be 45-50 yds. They were out but impressive none the less. See you next time guys.
