Thanks for all the welcomes. I haven't learned to call the hogs, my heart is still with Penn State, but I have raised two kids who can. I've even been known to wear a Razorback shirt.

Made it to Gold Creek today and talked with Dan for awhile. I'm definitely interested. I'm afraid I may be limited a bit by my boat. It's a 16" Starcraft v-hull that drafts more water than the flat bottoms I saw today, but I think I can make it work.

On the way back to NLR, I happened across Palaram Creek. I've read about it, but I didn't know where it was. It's a good looking spot too, so I've got two places to work on. Hope I can take care of some household projects and get the motor running right before next weekend.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.
