I have over to Drifters Bar at one mile...i have eaten box food from one mile on my last trip...

Drifters became my wifes favorite place to hang on wed and fridays...it is owned and run by luddy Sams, a member of the drifters band

the entertainment starts out pretty good, a few songs I know...a couple of tables of people are partying near the stage and i am at the bar..they have a special, buckets with 6 red strpes for 1000J...great deal...on ice...

a quick review of an incident that I witnessed...getting my bucket delivered, and hear some commotion..look over, someone is on the ground holding the back of his head, someone is running toward the road, with a few guys in hot pursuit...the guy gets away but in the haste, leaves his stuff behind...apparantly he hit the victim with a stick, took off without his stuff, which was then burned....victim walks around with a knot and a headache...police report files, lets party....15 minutes later, life goes on, the party was like it never happened...

Rob and Lisa arrive and we share a few buckets...drifters also has a great hotdog and fry deal for 400....

we party at drifters til about 730, then head to sunnyside for a few more...
the bartender is Odie, and is very entertaining...also arriving on the scene is the legendary Powerstrap....he is proud of his reputation...i think he said he has fathered 33 childrn...and is very proud of the fact...met a nice german couple at sunnyside..

one last nightcap at roots, which was where the car was and then we called it a night...

Man, your pics are taking me back. Good stuff!!

I see Aubie !!! I missed his burgers this reach ,,, gotta go longer next trip.

Thanks for all the pics, this helps hold me over till my next reach in June.

So powerstrap is back around Sunnyside, he had moved down the beach in march after some issues there.

LMAO , the guy with the knot, I would guess there was a reason this happened?

come on groove. that's all we get of the burgerman vs the wickerman story?

Wow. Nice pictures :-)

Loving it :)

Groove, now you tell me about Drifters, I was looking for a good hot dog all week !!!!! :)

I'm loving the pics.

It's like anywhere else, you just gotta feel people out. Don't "try before you buy", then you are roped in. Look closely, smell, and most importantly haggle. It can be had for great prices if you're willing to walk away. Don't tell anyone where you're staying, don't give too much personal info, even if it seems innocuous. You won't be set up, but getting ripped off is a possibility. Never give money up front, always see what you're buying.

Grooooooooovee!!! Back to the story Groove.... Waits patiently... Loving this. I hope we make it back in April....

a long weekend at the softball field, one of the reasons I could never live in Negril...we had a big tourney, I took my camper and i had 10 of my 14 teamamtes gather around the campfire in the parking lot of the ballfield on friday night..we played at 8am sat morning and the "pep rally" carried over to sat morning with a 15-2 win...lol...anyway, i was busy tis weekend, so trip report will continue shortly...

the next day on this trip is 4/19/14, saturday...starting to get a little bored w/o my wife...not trying to say that i wish i had waited to leave, i am jsut saying that i love sharing my life with her, and life is better with her....

I am planning to walk to Seastar...I have a friend that i met a couple years ago arriving today at about 4, so I am gonna be there to greet them and then stay for the saturday night show....My normal dress routine is swim trunks and a top, shorts and a tee or two, and then my night shorts and shirt...i sweat a lot, so i change shirts alot...and my stuff is very colorful....i dont have many pics of myself, but i am sure some can post my attire for us...lmbo...a hot mess....anyways, i pack my 2 changes of clothes and all else i could need for the day, prepared a few subs, and I would be ready....fooled around at Bar B Barn wiht Bettye and John for awhile, yellowbird for couple dirty bananas to start the day, then i am off at about 1030....
