When embarking on my Supergraphic challenge, I scan ahead and I see a few locations will take some creative license to complete. Utah Skiing is one of them. I have skied once in my life and hated it. If there is anything I hate more than skiing it’s being cold. I could, however, take advantage of the huge mounds at Coral Pink Sand Dunes for some winter-like fun in the 80-degree sun. […]
“86!” the stocky Navajo lady bellows. The Native woman is literally herding a group of 40 or so of us under a canopy. Just short of whipping and spurring us, she demands control of the crowd. “86!” again she rings. I look at my receipt and oh, no; it’s me. “Oh hell!” I wonder.

‘The catfish is plenty good enough fish for anyone‘ – Mark Twain –
It is said that the face of Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships. In that vein, the whiskered face of the catfish launched my quest to track down Supergraphics. While participating in the RAIN bicycle ride in Indiana, I’m contemplating a sabbatical of travel. Unsure of what my goal or 
destination might be, I see a U-Haul trailer with catfish emblazoned on the side. It announces Belzoni as the Catfish Capital of the World. That was it, I have to see what this venue is all about. Luckily my visit coincides with the annual Catfish Festival.

As usual, I’m the first to arrive at Hudson Marina at Skull Harbor for a Gulf Shores deep sea fishing charter. Once the Captain arrives, he introduces his crew for the day including Jason who is as an off duty 1st mate just out for a day of fishing. […]
