Gibson Lake

I was talking to fellow at the bar about going to Gibson Lake. He said, "Make sure you get some chicken wire to wrap your car in so the porcupines don't chew on your tires and brake lines!" I said, "Yeah right, and after that I can use it to catch a snipe or two." I later was informed that it was indeed a hazard...I still chuckle at it though.
