Come one, come all...paddling with alligators, hiking with armadillos, dining with the best camp cooks around.  Yep, Halloween on the Bayou reservations have been made.

October 26-18, 2012

Better check those dates.  As written, it will be nearly a year long outing.  I am betting on Oct 26-28 myself.

And, yes, I will be there.

I plan on being there for the duration of the event no matter how long it is!

I will be bringing extra paddling craft for those without.  It looks like now I may bring two canoes and two kayaks.  Hope to see both some new faces among those recent attendees at this year event.
