Collection Trip - Ft. Desoto Sunday October 9th

[NONNA58]

It is that time again for our annual collection trip to Ft. Desoto. Last year we had one on September 19th. This year we are only having one so don't miss out on it. The club will supply the meat and drinks. Members bring a covered dish. The weather should be cooler by then, but still warm. Bring out the kids. Bring out your water shoes and I believe this year a fishing license is needed. Here is the map to the location.

Here is the thread from last year. Todd was hoping to make it out with his boat last year and did not. Should we take bets on whether he makes it this year?

Here is the link to the shoreline fishing.

Come out and have a great time with us! We always have a blast and so do the kids.
Russ and I will probably be out there by 9am and usually leave around 2-3 at the latest. Y'all can go swimming out there as well after the collection trip.

And as reguards to the club forum, I still cannot post as the forum does not list me as a member but a visitor even when logged in.

I have checked our members list and it shows you as a member. I will have Mike check into it again. Can there be something on your computer settings that is not allowing you to post, nortons?
