Took me years to run down one of the few, and I didn't give a tinkers dam about the price. Knew Lee/Dottie for decades and 'He's building reels????!!!!'
Yes-yes, I paid a premium price but didn't give a flying fig. THE THING you must have. In my hands this PM's mail delivery. Everything I expected save for a campfire, toasting 'Mellows' and a pot luck dinner in the RV park. Lee/Dottie .. exceptional people. If you got to know them you were Blessed by the Blessed. Two hours sitting in front of a camp fire and not a word spoken; tonnes of mental thoughts transferred.
That was Lee/Dottie, and the rest, in fold out chairs. Wood table piled high with Gram crackers, Here's' choc squarea, mellows and toasting sticks. Even the kids didn't say a word; they understood 'Quite time on the side of a river.' Only words were 'Time to tuck you into a sleeping bag.' Age ran from 'five' to '55.' Us old guys hit the Colman's at zero dark 30 with coffee; pull a large cup and 'Breakfast is at 1000.'
Some times we even had a fresh caught Steelhead as part of BK!
A BBQ was fired up/ready to go .. some times it got feast fish. Usually something from some time back. Anyone care??
Not that I can remember.:smokin:
