Limited Bird Time

[Leroy Eckert]

Alex:
The lake has been low for a couple of years because of the hurricanes. Looked
yesterday and it is trying to come up a bit. When the lake is at normal level
you cannot see the stumps.
On Labor Day we were at Indian Pass Campground near Port St. Joe shark fishing
from a funky pontoon boat five miles out. Great fun. We go there once each
year, it is isolated and beautiful. They only have a couple of sites that will
accommodate our Bird.

There are two permanent Vintage Birds at King Lake. Mine and I think an 85,
Grandpa's Bus, a Tan and Brown PT-38 or 40. I do not see him often, usually
walking the dog. He takes a trip about once a year. It is his retirement home.

Leroy,
It just so happens we were there this past Labor Day weekend! Nice place. I
took my boy and a friend of his there to do a little fishing. Not much was
bitting, the lake was low from the lack of rain (hurricanes-smile-) this year.
We will try it again when the water level is up.

There were two other Birds there that weekend. By chance was one you?

Leroy, I agree with you. We do alot of 3 day weekends to St Andrews, St George
Island and Grayton Beach. My 16 yo is into sports and we travel with that. We
just returned from a 1000 mile round trip to Miami for his HS football
championship game(and the Bird did great, purred like a Cat!). It's just the 1-2
week trips we are unable to make at this time.

Please do not let limited vacation time and school prevent you from
using your Bird. Sometimes it ain't easy. We are rearing my wife's
grandchildren and have been able to use our Bird often. We try to pick
a park 100-200 miles from home twice a month. Leave Friday after
school return Sunday. Three day weekends are a bonus. We pack up the 8
and 5 year old and haul 123, trailer, car, bikes, adult beverages, and
anything else the wife wants. Last park we went to was in the boonies
on the Suwannee River. Beauty untouched by man. Good for the bus and
the body. The rewards are great.
Gonna turn off the phone on Dec 16 and bust out for Texas. All 4 of us.
I'm think'n to heck with working on Christmas and New Year's day(grin)
and in between.
