i to hate big cities and concrete hey i know right where id set up camp back in a wilderness area in colorado up in the white river nat forest the bull elk are pry gatherin up their cows by now or maybe a cabin on the north end of low would be cool. how ever you seem to be wound a lil to tight when you are there for work they would expect to get preformance out of you and be the sounds of it you have no problem giveing it your all (good on ya for that) but i say make lemon aid out of lemons first thing id do off the clock is check out the local food im sure their is killer seafood there check out the food network.com or watch it for diners drive ins and dives if u know you will travel to a certain city you could write down the different places guy goes and check them out for your self on top of as a last resort while on your way to dine take the long route and just people watch on your way you can always think to your self self wow these gomers need to get out of the city and into an ice house on ML or out in a deer stand in northern min cause they are really missing somethin liveing in the city just my thoughts

replaced mine before we went to kab was looking for a replacement cartridge for the one in the the boat which is a good idea (mayfair marine products )but if no one within 40 miles has a cartridge then it does no good any how went to fleet farmpicked up a 500 galph atwood pump like $ 25.00 got a tube of silicone had it switched out in 10 mins id check fleet farm or some place like that good luck

fished d l pry five years ago me and the gf stayed out in wakon and fish out on the west end pulled cranks mostly spent alot of time on a submerged black top road they called the golden highway stayed on the center with the boat and that put the cranks in the ditch which worked great one evening we were back in hog bay pulled up to these trees and flopped a couple slipbobbers right next to the trunk hook and leach put 2 limits with an average of 18 or 19 inches in the boat in less then 30 mins never caught eyes like i was fishing crappies before but it was fun any way would love to get back out there some time a different kind of fisherie thats for sure

we have been running a crestliner 1850 sport fish since 2005 check one out if you get a chance i liked the layout of the boat the first time i saw it full windshield 4 seats that can be moved to the back deck well 2 can and one up front works great for family pan fish trips then when me and one buddy go i can leave out 2 of the seats and have plenty of room for our gear when we are trollin cranks has a 36 gal tank and rides pretty well ours has a 125 hp on back can run about 32- 36 with the right prop when the kids wanna ski our tube we can do that also just fished @ kabetogama for a week 6 in the boat majority of the time all adults no one was crowded only thing could use is a lil more rod storage hope you find something tat suits your family well
