Salmon News USA

Yes Grug is still alive! In case u guys hadnt noticed ive been gone for about 6 weeks now. I spent the first 3 weeks cruzin the west side in california.I spent time at LA, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Newport Beach (what a fuckin hoax!), Hermosa Beach, Huntington beach, Long beach, Las Vegas, San Diago....you name it i was there. I met two other aussie blokes when i first got to LA, turned out they were goin to my camp so we rented a car for 2 weeks and drove to all the places listed above. Las Vegas is bullshit i stayed at the mgm grand.



we deffinately hav to plan a salmon trip there some time.
the west coast is the home of gorgeous girls, massive boobs...



awsome cars ...

and the best bar and restaurant chain in the world....commonly known as hooters!!!!

Oh and dysneyland is a hoax.... wonderland was better!!! seriously the rides are pretty lame, it would be good if you were about 5 or 6 years old!

After i left california I flew to chicago where i had to do 1 weeks training then drive 6 hours north to Eagle river Wisconsin for camp. camp is cool, plenty of bars around and the location and scenery of the camp is really nice.

All the staff at camp are pretty cool and we get along well, i must say that every other nation....as much as they talk it up.... can NOT handle their alcohol, no one has out drunken me yet!!! The staff are from all over the shop there is only 1 american the rest are from, england, germany, south africa, columbia, new zealand, netherlands and the best country of all australia!

So what do I do at camp?.. well in the mornings it is generally pretty cold so the waterfront is not open for swimming so i help out with activities such as basketball, archery, soccer and shit like that. When i got to camp they made me head lifeguard so i spend the rest of my afternoon on the waterfront, lifeguarding, driving the ski baots etc. I bought a wake board so i can use that and the boats whenever i hav free time...oh and wakeboards are only like $100. Other than that i get everynight night off we normally finish about 9.30pm. A majority of of my nights are spent at the local watering hole called 'geos', it rocks the bar chicks dig the aussie accents and i dont pay for any drinks i just tip them every now and then. oh and we made a new drink called a graveyard (also refered to as rocket fuel) it was served in a jug(or as they say here a 'pitcher') it had 2 shots of every spirit behind the bar (about 40) some which dont exist in australia and are bulshit poey, this filled the jug about 3/4 then she doped it off with coke, she charged me $5 and off we went...i couldnt tell you what happened after that!

Every saturday night when we hit geos me marty and dan hit up one of the many thrift stores(us equivilent of the salvos) and get the stupidest funky shit we can find to wear out. thrift shits on the salvos, beaps more stuff, better stuff and cheaper!...

oh thats sammy one of the bartenders at geos..yes yes hot hot!

So ive actually got a record here at camp so far and that is being the only one to pass out every saturday night so far, so ill leave you boys whith a couple of pass out shots that would probs be quite familiar to most of you!!! peace out boys miss ya all il add more shit soon, plus im gunna send all my pics ive got so far back to wilson on a disk so you cann all see theres a couple of hundred haha....

cheers guys salmon grug USA signing out.....

to add pics.... when you are composing the post there is a a little box on the toolbar up the top of the text box of a picture, similar to the clipart symbol on microsoft word. this is the insert picture button, click it and browse and upload files.
