Bush Lake


We hit bush lake this morning to work on some rolls, rescues, and general foolishness. Kathy is going on an Apostle trip next week, and this was a good opportunity to brush up on some things, and we wanted to get Tom rolling. Dave and I had worked with him some on one of the Apostle trips, but some boat fit issues caused some troubles, so this time I put him in my Romany HV, set him up a couple times, and turned him loose. Once he had the feel for it, he went back to his boat, and rolled it just fine ... So we have another roller!! Congrats Tom, well done!!

Thanks for the assist on TJ's rolling progress. He was a bit discouraged after the Manitou Island attempts but is still pumped after nailing a dozen or so in a row. The rolling fraternity adds another member. Thanks again!

How far is this place from the twin cities. I hope to be there later this summer and hope to see you and Alex

Bush Lake is actually in the cities, in "prestigious" West Bloomington. Be sure to give us a heads up.

On anoather note: I was sadden to see the carnage when that bridge went down last evening. I hope that you and Alex did not suffer any personal losses.
