What I did this last weekend

What i did this last weekend , Well BN kinda F***ed up that idea !!!!!
Oh well I had fun and I have a few PICS !
I went fishing with some guys from work , we went to the White Buffalo resort http://whitebuffaloresort.com/main.htm

It is at the confluence of the White and the Buffalo rivers here in Arkansas .
VERRRY NICE place !!!!! I have been to MANY of the other "resorts " in the area and i must say most ( Gastons in HARD to beat with their private air strip and all ) PALE in comparenson !!!!!

For you Mapish folks out there http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=15&n=4002501&e=550497&s=24&size=l&datum=nad83&layer=DRG25
The first pic is the view from the river ,

next is the cabins , they can sleep 5 ( 6 if you don't mind shareing ) , AC , fire place , SAT tv , Nice kitchen and deck , KILLER BBQ grills and smokers .

Next , ther was this guy with this motorized para-sail thingee , it was a 2 seater and he was training future buyers , and couldn't be bribed into giveing ANY body else a ride :rar:

First pic is of him gettin set up , notice the camper in the back ground ,

once he got set up he gunned the engine ( a 4 cylinder ROTAX ) , notice the camper in the back ground , he had pulled about 20 ft down the road to be in the shade , look how fast the para shute inflated !!!!!

then he was air born !!!!! He spent most of the day buzzing the cliffs as a friend and I sat watching and sipping cold beers , hey the fish wern't bighting and we had 2 pork sholders to tend to .

more seanery ,

and more

Nice!
I wanna go too!
