Thought I’d add my pics and post to the ones that already have posted and covered the event. It was a great time with great friends and a great turn out. Fishing and weather not so great, but they weren’t the only reasons we were there, it was the opportunity to meet fellow stagers and the camaraderie and friendships that developed.
More boats were there this year, so all had opportunities to get out, thanks to all that brought their boats (thanks Ben and Steve for having me aboard!). Rhyno’s boat was the most unique, he rebuilt it himself and did a fantastic job of it using a combination of ingenuity, flair and just plain old sweat equity. Ryan, you really should post before and after pics with the explanations of the materials you used and sourced, and the home made design features, other stagers would appreciate it, seek and benefit from your ideas and craftsmanship. I was totally impressed.
I don’t have any fish pics as I didn’t catch any, but I do have a few to share of the wildlife and camp. I’m so glad that everyone utilizes “camp 40GRIT” as a home base, it provides me the opportunity to really get to know all and share I and my wife’s mobile vacation retirement home that is currently under utilized as she has yet to retire.
My thanks to Ryan for planning, organizing and heading up this years MnG! Excellent job Brother, so appreciated, love the t-shirt and the food was perfect. A lot of effort on your part!
On a side note, when I returned home my wife informed me that we were hosting a “gender reveal” party that evening for our son and daughter in law——— we’re getting another granddaughter!!!! So it was another eventful day for me.
Looking forward to next years!!
