One of the guys in our group put it best: “That’s like saying ‘hey I slept with your wife but here’s $500.’”

But alas, we more than made up for it with margs on the train and it makes for a fun story in hindsight.

…And for the record, it was two six packs of some nice Colorado microbrews as well as a sixer of Coors Banquet tall boys.

Honest question - was it upstream or downstream from the bridge?

Honest answer - It was upstream, but why would that matter?

Probably more traffic in general on the downstream side, I think upstream would be safer. I also hid mine upstream with no problems, but my theory is bunk any way considering your experience.

P.S. I’d gladly hike with Stiffler – see tiny font in case you missed the context of the sarcasm…

Yes, Daway8, would you mind retyping that whole paragraph with alternating caps please?

(Also sarcasm… please don’t actually do that)
