Chick Trip 2005...

Well, it's time once again for our annual Chick Trip. We leave on Thursday morning. Last year we went in August and this has caused some problems this year. Paula won't be joining us - despite some VERY strenuous persuasive tactics. She has just sold her house and is dealing with kids coming home after being with the ex for a couple of weeks. She just doesn't feel like she can go and while we understand, it just won't be as much fun. Who will marvel at the amazing freezing technique of Smirnoff's? Who will cry just because you are?

This year we are headed to Galena. We've rented a beautiful house and are planning to canoe the Galena River. This river used to be called the Fever River. Through some miscommunication back in the early stages of planning this trip - it was thought that we would be canoeing the BEAVER River - which all thought to be appropriate.
