That pu. was my Dodge powerwagon 1965 3250$ out the door,we camped under that papalpa very year,I helped put the roof on it on our first trip in 64:o:lol:
Rob
Papa's grandkids and my daughter and a poor view of the camp in 65:lol:

That rockpile is on the other side of Willard isla and big nasties live there you probably know about it if not SHHHHH

I had fishing experience on that pile one day in my tin boat but that is another story.

The guardian looks much better now than he did then,I had alot of first time experiences at PaPa's place,PaPa was such a neat old guy,my family loved him,he taught me so many things,hunting turtles,the fish of the gulf,how and when,showed me the rock pile and how to find it without all the tech stuff of today,my wife the cooking on and on:biggrin:

Willardguy showed a pic of a couple nasties so I figured he knew where the pile is,but I,m sure he won,t tell you or anyone else:lol: they were nice fish but not a good sample of THE REAL PILE PaPA's PILE only a selective few know the real location:lol:and now that he is gone the secret may never be told,sorry boys.
Rob
