heres where I am

O.k. I was looking for "the bridge" apparently its the way to the U.P. When a rusty van came along with these fellows in it that were(are)musicians. They call themselves" Da Yoopers" and are real popular around here. Now when I told them I too need to get to Da U.P. they said "hop in". And we got on a boat the kind you drive onto.While on the boat I was taught to play euchre? and promptly lost most of my pumpkin patch earnings. So here we are in the Italian part of the U.P. called Charlevoix. You know Chris, I thought it would be much larger than this.I'm staying in the Charlevoix Motor Estates. Shouldn't be too difficult to find me.Rusty van with a moped on top or,maybe you can guide me in from here. I'm sure you know of this place since the U.P. is rather small.Now that night in Detroit was another story. Send the tent warmer out I'm here! Don

You're almost there!

Hey dare Don!That is a city just south of the bridge. Yeah the people like to bring their Detroit heritage with them when they homestead up there. You just have to go nort a little bit and cross the Mackinac Bridge, ( That's MACKINAW to you foreigners)you shouldn't need money that way, only if you go the other way, and you'll be in the beautiful U.P.! Then the easiest way to my place is west on US 2( that's a hwy that goes east and west in the U.P.) and then down the bay to my house, you can't miss it,there's big signs that say Chris lives here, you are so close! Babes is waiting and so is Stinky and the tent is all clean, had to do it since the skunk and rodents had gotten in there but it is all better now. So I'll set flares out by the lane so you won't be able to miss it, I hope! You may actually make it by November! Ha! Chris

P.S. Don, I made a little error in the post when I said you shouldn't need money to cross the Bridge going North. I forgot that the Troll Fee was in place at the North end of the bridge going both ways so I took the liberty of wiring some funds for your crossing to Mackinac City in care of general delivery to Don Doe, that's you so don't forget. Use these funds to cross the bridge and pay the Troll Fee to enter Wonderland and then follow my directions. OK? Good Luck, Chris

Hwy 2?

You mean, after all this that I have been through FOR YOU that all I had to do is leave my residence(that I may no longer have)head due north on I-5. Stop at Al's house help depleat his liquor cabinet.Get on Hwy 2 here in my own state and head east? And I would have run into you? Dammit man, the rash,the problems with getting the ride wet etc....????Now I'm at the north end of the bridge and have been denied access because of a confidential source is worried for the resident flora and fauna.I'm turning back and will find a boat to cut across the lake it is a lake? Can't see across this thing and there are large vessels out there.Maybe its the other ocean us westerners make fun of.Either way I'll make it damn near there, looking for a boat now. Don

Oh Boy!

You have to look at a map, that's not the same Hwy 2. If it would have been that easy I wouldn't have steered you all over creaation. Al doesn't like to share his "Makers Mark" with anybody, says the bottle goes empty too fast and then there's none left for him. I, on the other hand, just drink Early Times and nobody bugs me about mooching my booze. First rule of being a Yooper or a friend of a Yooper is drink cheap booze so nobody bums it off you. If you do get a premo bottle of something, always give it to me so you won't be hasseled. Now, why wouldn't the trolls let you cross the BiG Mac into Utopia? They probably noticed you were from out West with that big hat and those guns strapped on your hip and back! I should have told you to blend in more. Anyway, if your serious about crossing the big water you'll have to get to Ludington, MI and take a ferry boat to Manitowoc, WI, but if you tend towards seasickness better think twice cause it's a big lake! Then you'll have to travel North again. I am kinda worried though cause every time you go North you get hung up or lost. You will have to go very slow and take your time. I can't stress enough that you have to blend in better cause as you leave Manitowoc you'll be heading toward Green Bay and it's full of Cheeseheads! If they get a hold of you then you are going to be in for some hellatious party going and non stop rowdyness. I don't know if you are up to anything like that after all your travel troubles around the country. As you can tell I'm being quite cautious here cause I don't want to alarm you or anything. I guess you're going to have to push on and hope for the best. Your Pal, Chris

Delayed

Chris, Had a great idea,get a canoe head across the lake.After all its a lake nothing more.Got a smoking hot deal on a canoe and left after I got a weather report. Wind, north 35 to 40.Small craft advisory. Loosely translated to you land lubbers:The wind will blow you north and its better to have a small craft as it will blow you across the water more better. I was mistaken,the wind is out of the north,therefore blow YOU SOUTH.Canoes are not welcome as they are considered a "small craft".As I was out about half way it started up, Its a lake where do these waves come from? So, as I headed SOUTH I couldn't keep up rowing north.At this juncture I decided its best to go with the flow. Popped the cork on the bottle,took in the sights you know,Large ships passing within feet of me and bailing.Lots of bailing.So after a beach landing in a town called Gary(state still unknown)I'm drying out and trying to find a minnkota electric motor maybe trading the ride for it.Havn't given up.Don

Might have guessed.....

....you'd get turned around again! I think Gary is in Indiananola or some such state. Where ever you are you are again too far South and will have to try to find north again on your compass. I am very afraid you will get swamped by the Windy City, Chicago for those who don't know, and you are going to have to stay close to shore or those big boats might get you in their prop wash. You also have to watch for those Asian Carp, they are supposed to be voracious and you could be on their menu if you end up in the water. I have to get ready for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and that means I have to scour up a gobbler and all, with cranberries from the bog, pumpkins and potatoes to mash etc. so if you are lost it will be a while before I can get back to guide you back on track. I was figuring on you being here by at least Christmas but then that is a long shot I think. I am just out of breath now thinking about all the stuff that needs doing before you arrive. I'll have to sign off for awhile and get back to you once you find out what's up. Your Ole Buddy, Anxious Chris

Disaster!

Had a kind of windy, rainy storm the other night and when I looked out in my yard, my target stand had suffered a devastating setback. If I was a superstitous person I'd think those pesky varmits had sneaked in and did it just to get back at me, but my self says it's just an act of God and another p.i.t.a job for my loving wife to fix for me. I guess you have to take the bad with the good. Chris

Hoo Rah!

The way I see this running out is that I'll still be way indebted to my favorite spouse and love of my life so I will hold my applause till the fixin's done and see who gets the prize! She already has an upper hand since she put it back up the last time it "fell over" and you will probably have to consult an arch e tect or some such silly nonsense before you even get the groundbreakin started! That's after you get well rested from your travels and fattened back up after haf starvin to death for the last year. I'm thinkin she is out of the gate and you ain't even near the gate yet. I ain't meaning to be harsh on you considerin your state of affairs and your poor travel record but we need to be realistic about this repair since I want to shoot before my eyes close for the last time. But, as usual, your good intentions have won over the softer side of me so I'll try to stall the repairs a bit and give you a little better chance at success. Your Pal, Chris

Be there soon

Chris,Along with my misfortune I have been lucky. After winding up here I have landed a job.I'm in a rough part of town doing odds and ends at a" boarding house". These ladies are very polite and include room and board as well as pay.I take care of the grounds, landscaping, repairs of all sorts.There is alot of traffic here as these ladies do entertain alot of visitors, mostly family I think as they are always very excited to see them.Gotta get back to work I'll call before I leave here.

Misfortune, or Luck?

Don, I sure am glad you ain't lost again, I was having a heck of a time deciding whether I should send the girls looking for you but it's a good thing I waited cause it sounds like you are in good hands and safe, at least for now. The old target stand is still down so you ain't lost out yet but if the weather improves I may have a hard time stalling the wife cause she is eager to go get it done soon. Don't rush off and leave those poor ladies in need or anything though, cause we can hold down the fort here as long as it takes. Your ole Pal, Chris

Freezing Rain!

Well Don, don't know what to do now. We had a bit of freezing weather and then it snowed, then it rained and now the old target stand is froze in the ground tighter than a rusted pipe joint so it ain't gonna be any easy job to right it. I am thinking (?) that we, and I use that term we meaning you, may just have to leave the old thing mired in the horizontal position till spring thaw. I'll have to make do shooting vermin and such through the winter until I can get back to serious paper punchin'. I have to settle down for a bit and load some ammo too, so this could be a fortunate break in the break neck pace of living in the wild for me. I seem to have been going like a "Schwinn down hill on ice" lately and I don't need to scare you off before you even get here so this will be OK. Keep me posted on your progress. As Ever, Your Ole Pal, Chris

I got a new ride

Chris, I got to thinking outside the box as it were. Ya see, I got a slightly used,vintage skidoo. 1962 I think I'm gonna do some maintenance and tune her up and wait for the snow.Heres my question,I'm thinking about waiting for the lakes to freeze up and head straight to your place,think of it smoooooth as glass riding,a sled with extra petrol and some "petrol" for me. Stop and ice fish for supper what could go wrong? Oh, when do the lakes freeze around these parts? How much gas ya think I need? The ladies at the house here really don't want me to leave but I told em when I hired on it was temporary. Let me know what you think of my fool proof plan.

Ice Sleds?

Don: I think you may be on to something there. The slush is already forming on the Bay so it should be anytime soon now. You will have to kind of hug the shorline, though, cause if you get out to far the USCGC Mackinac cuts a swath through the ice every few days on the ice breaking runs. Once you get up around Door County you can cut through the old ship canal into Green Bay, that's the part of the lake, not the city where the Cheeseheads hang out. You can come straight west but here again, watch for open water cause them Coasties make a run through the Bay too! If, oops, I mean when you get that far give me a holler on the cell and I'll shoot up a few flares for you to home in on. Your Pal, Chris

Studs!

Don: I was readin up on snow mobils or whatever their called, and if you is thinkin of driving on ice they make some things called track studs that bolt onto the rubber track and they give you "super" traction and lots more speed. Of course the speed thing is no biggy for you, but the traction may help you keep from spinnin the track on that nice smooth ice. Also if you learn how to do it just right you can rev the engine and pop the clutch and dig a neat hole in the ice to fish through! That will save you the bother of hauling along an auger and stuff for your ice fishing escapades. You won't have a lot of extra room on that machine for useless tools anyway so this could be a help. I am trying to give you lots of help on this last leg of your trip so buck up there and don't quit now. A word of caution, though, don't get too far out of that there box as you might get off track!

Oh,Noooo

Uh, Chris, Got a problem.This boarding house I was the maintinance guy at...well...Last night there was a raid here.Apparently it wasn't a boarding house at all.This place with all the nice ladies was a house of ill repute! So now after posting my bail I won't have the funds for the ultra cool sled accesories.This morning at my little hearing I recognized the judge and the police chief as visitors of the house and they were most generous in reducing the charges and bail.I'm looking for another source of temporary income till the snow flies.Yer buddy the convict

Waiting at impound yard

Sorry Chris, I have been waiting at the impound yard for the sled.Another problem there,after the "raid"my sled got impounded.I apparently purchased a vehicle that was titled and not in my name.Since when do these things require a title? Anyway,I didn't have anything else better to do and didn't want to spend any money for lodging so I decided to camp out at the gate of the impound yard. It was here I met a very nice man that let me stay in a camper that too was impounded.I was cleaning my new residence when low and behold I found a metal box.I got it opened and found a roll of cash and some other odds and ends .327.00 bucks and some tickets to a pawn shop somewhere.I should now have the federal reserve notes to buy the fuel and two stroke oil required for the journey.Waiting for ice! Oh,how do you know when the ice is thick enough? Let me know.

Detour!

You'll maybe have to postpone your journey North for a bit, Al seems to have gotten stuck in a scanner somewhere and I think you may have to go look for him. It could be dangerous though cause you saw some of the scanner stuff I posted before and with Al's penchant for things like L. Gaga, it could be touch and go. I will think on this for a bit so you stay put till I find out more. Your Bud, Chris
P.S. The local paper guy, Mike Desotell, took these today, the ice is only now forming so you won't be late.

Al Search

Hey Don: I can't find Al so I think we'd better look for him. If he's stuck somewhere in a long line waiting to get patted down it could be weeks before he gets loose. Let me know if you are fit to travel and we can work out a plan to go hunting for Al. I knew he was in trouble when he talked about deer hunting on that beach? Many hunters get lost forever on beaches like that. Chris

He ain't stable

I wasn't sure about his stability with those comments about "deer Heaven" with a baggy of? shrimp I think he said. Pictures to post on the dog thread? Whadya really think Mexico has for him? You don't think he's farming that stuff thats for "medicinal use" down there do ya? He is very sporadic in his comments and lets face it he's waaay out there.And yes I've got some free time as I'm damn tired of the wet here.Maybe first I should go to his liquor cabinet no, I meant his house to look for details as to his location?

Heaven OK....

And I don't mean Oklahoma! I think Al is so used to Seattle weather that when he got out of his elemnet it affected him so he didn't realize that deer hunting is done in the woods, not on a beach. I can see where the "Deer" he was watching might blur the memory of real deer hunting but he must be saved. I don't think you should go back to Al's place that would take you so far off course and you is far enough off course already! Chris

Not sure?

Now ya got me thinking,this is where getting into his liquor cabinet....his office to get some sort of idea as to where he went.For some reason I thought it was south because there was no snow and theres always snow in Alaska. Everybody knows this,but then with the global warming I spose it could be north? And taking a handgun into Canada is a nono.And the only way to get there is through Canada from here.Alaska doesn't have shrimp only crab,I've seen the shows on Discovery channel to prove it.I wonder if he's fooling us with the whole story and at a Motel 6 in Tacoma?

We better wait a bit and see if he turns up before we go searching. I'll keep you posted, But, just so's you know, you can buy shrimps in a baggie at the grocery stores in Alaska. Chris

Al sighting

Last night on TMZ Lady GAGA was seen at a peta convention. And her body guard looked just like "shrimp Boy". I also did some digging to find our host and excellent photographer friend is on the Northwest Bigfoot/Sasquatch hunter advisory team whatever that is. Is he hunting Bigfoot? Is he keeping it under wraps cause we'd think odd things of him? Has he switched labels? you know, not drinking the good stuff? A vehicle like his( bubble gum pink Smart car)was seen on a logging road in a remote part of Washington.Bottom line:if anybody receives a Christmas package of shrimp,be wary,thank him kindly and dispose of the contents or re-gift to the in-laws.

You don't think Al would do that to us do you? Oh, by the way, we are supposed to get 6 feet of snow (see picture) and I don't think even that snow machine will handle that so you probably better plan on sitting tight for a while. If you need anything let me know and I'll see what I can do. Winters here can last 9 or 10 months so don't get your hopes up. Your Ole Buddy, Chris

Hunting in Mexico

Got in a little hunting, my Spanish is not that good but the guide seemed very helpful. Went out in the jungle, my rifle looked quite a bit like a .177 caliber pellet rifle, but the guide seemed to know what he was doing and how dangerous could a puma be? Anyway, I guess the technique is to shoot the little fellow a couple of times and when he comes at you, you net him with a coffee sack and stab him with sharpened sticks and maybe get in a photo or two if the action gets slow. The guide assured me with his best English, “no problema, we do all time”.
Well, to make a long story short, the medico thinks my re-attached limb should be fine in a few months, and lots of people do just quite well with just one eye. When I get a little better with my prosthetic hand I’ll try to pull some photos off the mangled camera and post them. Might just hang around the resort next week.

He's foolin us,can't you see? He was probably right there with Madoff in the ponzi scheme.He could sell ice to an Eskimo. Thats a picture from a senior center in San Diego. See the old people? The backround is wallpaper in their cafeteria.He's dillusional and requires help. And by the way, he talks of horse power? Horse power to him is a fully charged rascal scooter.Chris,don't fall for this you'll be just like him in no time.(Al, please don't take this personal.I was on the river for a few hours today and froze my tail off, no bites,ran out of booze,3" of rain and damn cold,you picked a perfect time to leave this wet hell hole)Chris, that was just to humor him he needs help and he does drive a bubble gum pink smart car.

Calm Down!

Don, you have to develop a sense of forgiveness towards Al, he may be lost on the beach but he is not purposely trying to decieve us, at least I don't think so; therefore we must give him the benefit of the doubt and help him through these tumultuous times he is experiencing, we'd do it for someone else, right? Calling him names of some western outlaw you dug up out of those old history books will not help him, who was Madoff anyway, I never heard of him, bank robber or what? As you can see, the snow is drifting up and it promises to be a cold day (in Hell?) just kidding, but you must admit you would not survive this so sit tight as I advised yesterday and wait it out. Your Ole Pal, Chris

P.S. Why are you putting lights on the boarding house? Don't those "Ladies" have enough lights up already?

My good friend, please refer to post #128.Have you been outside and freezing your mind? I think Al has the best of intentions but some people from the N.W.can only handle so much of that depressing weather.One of the reasons I chose to help you and get outta there. however that went awry didn't it? And after all that I have been through to help you,your now siding with him? Where was Al when you started having the deer and varment problems? Not in his smart car heading east.I'm forced to stop now and see my therapist. Defrost and come to your senses!

Cabin Fever?

Don: I hate to mention this but then what are friends for if not to advise a person when they are acting a wee bit odd. It is way more than obvious that you are becoming hostile towards Al simply because you have been cooped up at that "boarding house" way too long and that you are going to have to calm yourself for a tad longer or at least cut back on the oysters. I know you are rip roaring ready to get on the road again but as often happens to visitors to God's Country, they become overwhelmed by the beauty of a blizzard in winter and become dazed and confused. Now Al's only offense is that he went deer hunting in the wrong place where the weather is a slight bit better than where you are presently so it is not fair to hold that against him. And especially after his run in with that cat thing he mentioned, why he may even be a bit unsettled from his injuries yet and not cognisant of his actions. As I stated before we cannot be mean to a brother in need so I'm imploring you to be more sympathetic to poor Al. If you wasn't my friend this session would be costing you $250.00 so you should be thanking me for trying to set you straight for free. As always, Your Ole Buddy, Chris

It is always like this in the winter in GC so you just stay put for awhile longer till the thaw arrives, I don't think that ice road idea is any good so let's punt and come up with an alternative plan for spring.

Cant leave yet

Chris, Thanks for the weather report. I'm not allowed to leave yet as I have been fitted with a ankle bracelet of sorts. I'm told the findings of the final investigation will be over by the first of the year and I will be able to leave the state. The weather should be better by January right? I have everything ready to go and am looking forward to getting there.Is there a vermin season in Michigan? or is it open year round? Let me know.

Bracelets?

Don: I'm not sure about ankle bracelets because the only ones I've seen were on a leg on a stage with a fire pole. The girl wearing it didn't have much else on "cept" a fireman's hat and a garter belt on her other leg so I don't think she was going anywhere. It sounds like those Ill-in-ois girls are grooming you for a stage role or something and that's why they put you up in that ladies boarding house so you could watch them practice and stuff so you would be ready. I didn't realize you were an aspiring actor or I wouldn't have dragged you so far away from the coast where all the work is. It's Ok though if you stay there till January or February or March, whatever it takes if you do good on stage, like that girl, she had money stuffed under that garter belt like you wouldn't believe! I don't think there's much going to be happenin' here for quite a spell anyway with everything all froze up. Let me know how the stage work goes. Your Ole Buddy, Chris

Minus Zero Cold

Hey Don: As you can see from this frosty pic this sure ain't Al's deer hunting territory! Not that there's no deer, the tracks show them nosy critters can't stand to see new snow without dragging their hoofs through it. And I guess by now you've guessed that I've been stuck inside the ole hut way too long up here in GC when all I can do is watch it get colder every day! Hell, I'd even settle for one of Al's Lady Gaga awful pics 'bout now. In case you don't know it, I've been postin these here pics so'es you won't think you're missing anything while you're pole dancing down in Chi Town. I guess that's it for my encouraging word this AM. Catch you later, Your Ole Pal, Chris

Is it to throw us off of his real location? The more I look at these pics I don't see the much talked about shrimp.And I can tell those are definately fish from the far north.He is in Alaska and photoshopped the scenery.Whadya think his BAC is ?Look at the smugness on his face as he holds the Salmon for the pics.The very last picture is on the dock in Ketchikan the sunset gave it away.I think we found him Chris.

I am so confused!

I don't know Don, those look like those Bonitos or Burritos or Dollyfins or some such strange fish from a far away land, maybe Japan or somewhere. He sure is trying to show off his agility or something, like we couldn't hang upside down in a silly rain forest in Borneo if we wanted to! I think we can pretty much discount the deer hunting scenario because these pics prove he is just lolly-gagging around somewhere trying to make us think he's on a tough hunt trying to bag some "game"?... I really think he overshot Alaska and hit the Far East and is trying to make his way back home via the southern route, next he'll be in kangaroo land or showing us native girls doing the hula. You just can't depend on someone who can't tell the difference between hunting and fishing! Chris

P.S. And if he wears that silly hat while he's wearing that big sixgun someone's sure to call him out!

Settin ya straight

Chris, I am not in training to be one of those erotic...no...exotic dancers. My slight gymnast frame would allow it but I'm not flexible enough.(6'4" at about 260)But I'm on a diet! After looking at Al's pics(it is Al isn't it?)Its obvious he's a slave to fashion another wanting to copy Gwen Stefani. With the exception of one lady,theres a bunch of fellers maybe he could post more pics of scantily clad ladies to prove himself(please Al, more pics).What does concern me the most is he plays with guns? Also Chris, note in the last pic the cats on the ground.Is this the famed Puma that bit him? Can't wait to hear about the Eagle attack(also see pelicans in last photo) He's dillusional and must be dealt with carefully.

Petting Zoo?

Don: I wasn't going to embarrass Al by mentioning those birds and cats simply because I thought it would diminish his self esteem if we knew he was visiting a petting zoo! I have been trying to instill a bit of sympathy in you towards those who are not always as fortunate as we are, you must learn some self control when putting someone down, don't say he's strange, just kind of imply that he's challenged and that will be enough. With all these etiquette lessons I'm having to give you I think I am going to have to up my hourly rate to $300.00 an hour if you don't start catching on. I know it's hard having to sit there in the boarding house with all those talented dancers,I mean Ladies, but the time will pass much faster if you think nice thoughts about everyone. Chin up now man! Your Ole Bud, Chris

My apologies

Chris, I'm very sorry and now know what we are dealing with. I also understand that we may be able to help him with our kindness and compassion.Just because he's out there doesn't mean he's not able to be some benefit to society correct? And with that we will refer to him as the "Hemingway of Havana" or howbout the "Capstick of Cabo" The "Zane Grey of the Assylum" Wherever he tells us he is. Either way it is the holidays and we should try to help him. I have to go hang lights now. Thanks for helping me be more tolerant of the unstable.Besides, I don't have the cash to pay you anymore if I'm heading your way in a couple weeks. And, while were on the subject the ladies as you so kindly call them have gone to an undisclosed location to set up shop. Three blocks from here on 11th ave(green house on the corner).

There You Go!

Now you're catching on Don, we will just go on as if he was doing OK, after all, he must be blowing a hell of a lot of money to stage all these picture events for our benefit and unless we humor him he may start asking for our monetary assistance and we don't even want to go down that road since we haven't even gotten you taken care of yet what with your excursions to the far reaches of the country on my behalf and I have decided that I won't charge you now that you've seen the light and are willing to go the extra mile for a friend in need and that's why I am putting you on alert that I may have to send you after Al anyway even though I previously said before you wouldn't have to go looking for him but now I feel you are ready to be of some help to him as long as you keep in mind your new attitude towards our fellow hunters and sixgun enthusists and if you feel that the girls at the new house can get along without you for a bit because I can get along without your assistance for a while longer up here anyway. As Always, your ever benevolent Ole Buddy, Chris
