Friday night, Jimmie the Mad Eye-tal-yun and his sidekick Camper Dave will pull in my drive. We'll go to dinner, come back and drink some Dago red wine, and they'll sack out in the living room while I lounge luxuriously in my king sized bed upstairs.
At 06:00 Saturday morning, it's "RISE AND SHINE, MAGGOTS - IT'S DAYLIGHT IN THE SWAMPS AND TIME'S A WASTIN'!!!" By 06:30 we'll be only tracks in the driveway.
We'll meet Bear's Buddy and Dapper Al at the straits of Michigan in da UP, and head for Canada.
Right now, though, I'm still plodding along trying to get my duties here at home and the Lodge fulfilled, get some repair work done on the van, and get some food and gear packed. And - I'm still not fully unpacked from the last two trips on the Au Sable! What a klutz.
