I had a visit from Bob from Nevada, he made mention of how expensive Aussie beer is in comparison to American beer. I'm looking forward to some cheap beer :thumbup:
Make sure you try the micro beers as they are a lot better IMO. Wish you guys were going to make it out west. In a couple weeks shrimping opens up and I think you guys would enjoy the process.

Yep statement holds true, Odin took care of me when I visited the Netherlands and I would hope he feels the same while visiting me!

Damn sure I would enjoy it Bushman, I love anything to do with boating/ water/ fishing / crabbing....its how I spend a large part of my summers here.
Unfortunately I don't think we will be able to make it to your side of the country this time around. :(

Thanks Butch :thumbup: , I will see where our travels lead us. If at some stage we are in your neck of the woods I'll see what can be done about meeting up.

Be just about right on 4 hours drive from where you start out to Butch's. We traveled down that road as far as Sutton but instead of swinging left from there we continued south down to the New river and after a week and some in that area went west to KY . It was some stunning scenery and fantastic people.

Thank you Tater, The hospitality and the sight seeing were both well beyond my expectations.
That's one very nice part of the world you live in.
Loved all that you showed me and the history lessons that came for free with the guided tour. :thumbup:
I hope that one day I can repay you n Mrs Tater by doing the same for you both in my country.
