Dear fellow OFF'ers,
I just thought that you might like to read about our fun event yesterday. It was all about fun on the water and raising donations for the Children's Miracle Network.
About 6;00 I arrived at the Santiam rest area on I-5. I met up w/ about 18 fellow OFF members there. I wound up going up the North Fork canyon (and to Stayton) w/ LilSalmon, BigSteel, Eggs (his wife), CohoSanders, Ninja, Thuggin4life, and Windburnt. [hope that I didn't miss anyone]
And withing 5 minutes of getting up to the dam, Coho had bagged n' tagged a steelie too. NICE ONE!
Plus, we bumped into member SpecialEd while we were there (below the Big Cliff dam). Ed had a steelie before we arrived. You can view his post, for more details.
Our group also spent water time, at Stayton too. Many of us got crispy fried from the sun. But, we drank gallons of Gatorade and other "favorite drinks". LOL
JeannaJigs, Kodiak's brother, Autofisher and one or two others went up the South Fork to fish. Jeanna got REALLY fried wile in a boat all day long. [Sure hope that you are feeling better today Jeanna!]
Then we all rendezvoused back at the rest area, for a BBQ, many shared stories and some great chuckles, and a prize raffle.
It was a really fun day, getting to meet everyone! Thanks to Autofisher, Raincatcher and all OFF'ers who organized the event.
The only thing that would make it better, would be to see 100 OFF'ers come out and join us!!!
