Made a trip

[Jordan]

Made a labor day weekend (extended) to Missouri and Illinois with the girlfriend to visit and meet her family. First off, let me start by saying this place is absolutely beautiful.

We left work 9/2/11 at around 5:45pm. We switched all through the night to make it to Missouri at approx 4:45am 9/3/11. Got a few hours shut-eye and left for Pawnee Illinois at lunch time. Made it there in record time (3 and 1/2 hrs). Visited with family and had a great time. Left Pawnee on 9/5/11 en-route for Harrick, IL. Met some more of Jackie's family and they had a pond. THANK GOD, Finally, I get to do some fishing. Boy was I wrong. Hada cheap wal-mart frog tied on and walked down to the pond. Nothing but bull frogs. This ought to be fun trying to catch these suckers, I thought to myself. Man, these frogs were slamming my smaller imitation frog. I caught 3 in 45 minutes. Didnt keep any because I didnt have an ice chest. Talk about redneck ?? This guy right here had the whole family rolling over this.

We left Harrick, IL at around 2 pm and made it back to Missouri. Visited some more of Jackie's friends on Tuesday and left Wednesday AM at 3:30. Made it back safe and sound without any incident.

Pics are attached.

BTW, I know where I will be deer hunting and Elk hunting at from now on. Arkansas and Missouri are LOADED !!!!
