Hot, yes.... very! The fishing was a bit tough, but the big ones decided to bite the second day. Apparently Phil had at least one pig break him off, as did I. Pretty exhilerating tho.
I'd have to disagree with the campgrounds, however. Just a few reasons:
Very, very hard ground (broke a couple of tent stakes); poor service; having a single, unmaintained outhouse for the entire campground (unless you wanted to use the barf-coated toilets in the bar); the total lack of shade; not to mention the $2 price tag to take a shower -- located IN the bar!! Yup, you had to go into the bar bathrooms to take a shower, then wade out through the town drunks back to your campsite (a 200-300yd hike uphill). Oh ya, then there's that cannon going off at 10:00 at night.
Ya, great place for a family outing. NOT!
However, Larry did his best to make things work. An outstanding BBQ rib potluck would have to be the highlite. And for Larry to run the show despite a lack of Jillessness, well, that's just going beyond the call of duty. Thanks again Larry!
