Funny part is he adopted that screen name after cheating on a Rib cooking contest between fellow campers, it has nothing to do with McDs.
McRib, formerly known as HWLaser23 or something like that

If anyone needs some fenders, I just picked up a 4 pack from Bass Pro Shops 6.5" x 23" with ropes for $49.99. Thought it was a pretty good deal.

Looks to be a few first timers getting on board with this. Jo and I were a newby to at one time and have found this to be one of our favorite days on the water and surrounded by good folks. Unfortunately we have to withdraw our commitment earlier in the year and will not be able to make this years. Seems I hit a speed bump in life and Dr. has placed me outa commission but I do enjoy the pics fellas. Have a safe fun day all!
