I was just going to post that, I think it was around 2005-2006 or so.

I organized that with another former Pelican. I met Ron and his then new friend a local Appalachian hick named John called Brorag on here.

The 2 of them together that weekend was hysterical a real mutt and Jeff match up.

Ron on one hand a somewhat loud New Yawker and this louder Hillbilly complete with overalls on yukking it up.

The weather that weekend was brisk, like in the 30's at night. Ron and John were camping in tents nearby, we all thought they were out of their minds.

It was a fantastic weekend I ended up making friends that weekend that I keep up with to this day all because of that meet up.

We tried to make it a yearly Pelican thing and ran into just enough push back to not bother anymore. About 2 dozen of us broke away and created a BB to organize more weekends like that one. We did it up until 2011 or 2012 when the economy kind of killed it for us as well as many moving on in life to other things.

I will never forget those two together, I cracked up every time I thought of them, they were instant best friends.
