Bob Whelen 35 visits the Gulf of ‘Merica and other Gulf Coast adventures

[buck wild]

About a week back I first noticed Bob was coming to the United States for his first time and was going to be with Mark Biggerstaff not too far from my location. I threw out a casual invite for Bob and his bride to come down to visit with little expectation that he would take up the offer. Well he did .

I met Bob and his lovely wife Judy (ie maybe) Monday morning. We made a quick detour to Corpus Christi, had some lunch on the water, dipped our toes in the Gulf of America before heading to a local ranch for a sunset game drive. We were lucky in even this usually warn weather even for Texas thus time of year to see a few animals moving. We saw whitetail deer, rio grande turkeys, feral pigs, javelinas and well to my surprise an interest in our Armadillos .

We capped off the evening with a steak, baked potato anf grilled asparagus.

Bib and Judy are always welcome back. And you too Mani

We also witnessed an airboat trying to navigate the freeway solo

[Hornedfrogbbq]

Pissed I missed.

 

[buck wild]

Almost forgot we saw the alligator AND Bob shot his FIRST suppressed large (ish) rifle !!

 

[HuntingGold]

Oh he smiles... he occasionally FaceTimes me and tells me jokes. Laughes heartily.

 

[PARA45]

He only smiles when he has a non-functioning 243 in his hand.

Now I wish Bob had visited America 6 years ago. ;-)

I'm looking forward to meeting up with Bob and his bride as they pass through East Tennessee.

Perhaps something can be arranged for a get together of AH members here in East Tennessee along the Chattanooga - Bristol corridor to do a meet and greet with Bob.

If anyone is interested in this meet and greet send me a PM and we can coordinate something.

Yes, he is quite pleased with himself on occasion

He graciously poured me a glass of my own whiskey. His “two finger pour” looked more like a fist

When is Bob going to be in Tennessee?

 

[BonUm16]

Seldom does the image one conjures in their mind match reality but if someone could get some dark rims on Bob I’d damn sure appreciate it.

Hope the remainder of your time in our fantastic country is safe and enjoyable, Bob.
