DEC-A-5
SYNTHESIZING CUMBERALND ISLAND PLANS WITH THE HOLIDAY TRAVELS AND DERWOOD
WALK-THROUGH
I have been working on when
and how I can get to and from Cumberland in a busy time with a lot
of things happening in close proximity to the dates. But, you know, there is nothing as important
as being on Cumberland when the morning of the
hog hunt dawns!
As you see form the note
attached, I will have to fly down since I am getting Virginia to fly in early morning
Jan 8, for the "walk through" of the renovated Derwood, and then
getting back to the DCA to fly in late to JAX.
Later, I will try to reserve the Greyfield
launch as a ferry from Fernandino Beach, and will show Virginia around the island and Nancy's Fancy. She will have to return on Sunday, so I am
hoping to arrange the Greyfield ferry to carry her
back, perhaps leaving a rental car at the Greyfield
dock to take her back to JAX.
Monday morning is the
hunt. Because I will be there ahead on
the weekend, I may not have the time and liberty to make my usual grocery
run--there is a Wal-mart at Fernandino Beach--for all the foodstock that we need as a gang, although I can make a
light "first run" particularly if I leave a rental car at the Greyfield dock.
I will be calling Liz Mc Comus to arrange the cleaning of Nancy's Fancy and the Ford
Ranger to be at the dock for my pickup but then I will coordinate with you and
figure when to swing by and pick you up.
I have heard that not all
the people whose names are listed above are planning to make it, but I have
certainly reserved the place and a permit for those in advance. You will have the Greyfield
numbers for the MV Ferguson along with the attachment enclosed, and you already
know how to reach me.
For return with both me and
the heavy stuff I may have brought down by truck so that I can fly in light, I
would like to join whomever is coming back
directly. I know that Dale Kramer,
Christian Elwell and Craig Schaefer are driving back
to Maryland, but that Bill Webster
will be driving down but probably continuing on to Alabama. I will offer to join in as an accessory
driver on the return which will cut in half the driving time but also will be
packing fifteen photo albums coming down with Tom and
Drew Griffioen!
I have been out in the
bitter cold wind and watching for the deer that have been hunkered down during
the windstorms. Two bucks have ventured out, and they are both in Pennsylvania feeding a family with nine
kids. I will try again for a
wall-hanger, two of which I have glimpsed for brief periods, in the pre-dawn
dark or at seven hundred yard range that would make "Kentucky Windage" of a few barn-widths.
For those of you who cannot
wait for the year-end review letter, not yet prepared, the photo collage of
some of the year's activities is attached in glorious living color!
