Headed on the 5( 2am) and seen a sign, "Artesia Detour" Here I go again. Exited Artesia, now what?:Shocked: Can't call Troutman65, too early. Stopped at a Chevron station,saw these 2 Asian Guys,asked how do I get to the 91? They said east or west? Thanks to Patrick, I knew the answer. EAST I said proudly:Envious: They told me how to get there. I wrote it down cause of my short memory:Secret: Thank them and headed out. These 2 Guys came on the side of me and said follow us, we're going that way. YEEESSS! They took me right there and I was on my way. I must live a good life, God is always there to help me.
Get to the Vine at 3 am. First face I see parking lot in front of me was Koshaw. Before I could turn my motor off,there's "Timster" heading my way to say hello.:Big Grin: talked to Timster for a while and I said hello to Koshaw,he had been setting up his gear for the Trout slay. I crawled back in the SUV and tried to get some zzz's,it was cold out there. I had to turn the heater on in order to fall asleep. I woke up at about 5:30am.
Got a call from Blakeb and his bro Mike, they came by to meet me. I had only spoken to Blake on-line. They fished w/me over at the Flats. I told them I would get the 1st. Trout and so I did,my camera was still in the car. They were up next... Here's a pick of them:Blake is on the right.

They caught the next one also:

I told them "Stop it!!!" it's my turn. ( I got my limit early)
I did get the next one ,no pics. In less than an hour, I had 3 and the Guys had 4.(They ended up w/7)
Then company came by... Rooster,Maverick and Family.

Alan trolled by also. Didn't get a pic.
I met Moses and his brother-in Law. This is Moses after a few beers, before this pic he was sitting on a box and fell over and cut his arm. Moses entire converstation was about fishing Laguna Niguel and the fabulous fish that comes out of there lake. Moses said that Irvine has a better view. Meet Moses:

He was interested in becoming a Team 57 member. I invited them over to the get together and told them the fun we have all together. Moses was sold, I think.

I'm not going to try and remember everyone's name,I'll just post the pics:
I had a beautiful time as always. Can't wait for the next event! Cindy:Big Smile:

The GPS is working, I also found my cord for the house. Haven't found the one for the car yet. I really didn't think I'd needed it:Shocked: Also it's a joke with myself, I always seem to forget something when I go to Irvine. I've left my purse and had no money to get in,but luckily I was with Hitts girlfriend,she loaned me the money. I have left my cell phone,when the person I was meeting was suppose to call me when she got there, I have left the net. And on and on. One day I'll get it together. I won't leave my GPS in the car anymore,because the 1st one was stolen:Evil: Cindy

Enjoy the calender... I don't even have one. Ha! Ha! It was nice seeing you. Didn't talk to too many peeps. That trip to Irvine really wipes me out. I got there really early and didn't get much sleep the nite before. Dr. Hook told me to get some food, I made a run to the car with Armando and didn't go back. Hope to see you soon on the water.

Patrick was one of the 1st. Team57 Members to see the calender, he wanted one. He settled for a frig magnet. Wingnut said "I want one too!"
I wished I could have afford to make more. Maybe next year.

Dana,
I will make your first!
One person I gave a calender to and that was Doctorhook's Grandson. That's the day Dr. Hook gave me great fishing tips and the Grandson was just so interested in fishing. A very small token to say thanks!
I will be at the next event, but have to have surgery next month. I put it off to go to this event:Shocked: Cindy:Big Smile:
