We were home by 7 pm.
Great great event.
Though Carol is not typically "thumbs up"  about the great outdoors, she volunteered several times about enjoying herself and the wonderful  group of gals and guys who made us feel right at home.
As someone said, was good to see/visit with Pappy when he's in relaxed frame of mind.
It's always special to be surrounded by PA friends ... who have become just plain special special  friends.
We'll likely be back!

Will post pics when get my %$#@ puter fixed.

I took a few days worth, hopefully somebody else took more. Once more people started showing up I took no pics. These are all the first few days, after BJ left for home.

That first one is Bill and Nater taters river cane bows. They took my cut offs and made bows and arras.

The second one is an example of Nates perfect form. Notice he is standing under the pink shooting tape, he doesn't walk up. Nope, he shoots wherever we do.

An early-in group photo

The last one is a pic of my BFF, Cath.

First pic is Mike whittlin' on an elm bow. It turned out just fine.

Second is Bill and his bride Kim just arriving.

Is it raining? It did that plenty on Thursday, but we all made it through.

Last is a pic of Paulys bow. Osage, rawhide grip and sinew string. That little bugger slung a pretty nice arrow.

First pic is just for Clint Yoder Anders

Second is a mountain man breakfast Pauly and I tossed together one morning. Its so good and well worth the effort and wait to eat it.

Which way is the smoke coming from???

Last one is a typical night/late afternoon. We all last until 10pm-2 am in the morning. Lots of great conversation to be had and we all learn a little more about each other every night we sit around a fire. Its one of my favorite parts.

These last two provoke more than a few questions and thoughts.

Firstly. Who's shower privy is that and who is using it???? Mike???? My BFF is in her chair chillin' like a villin'. Cant be her in there.

Secondly. I think we all know what Nater tater is thinking here. But, you're welcome to post your comments in regards.

I'm going with Bills comments...

Had a great time as always. it's sad I only get to see some of my best friends a couple times a year but it's well worth it.  we didn't spend any time in the tent working on bows  but a whole lot of time cooking and hanging around the fire.  didn't take too many pictures but here's what I got

My wife and Pearlies bff Cathi came with me and yet again within an hour she tells me " ok , i love all these guys" Between all the food , laughter and shootin there was a small amount of sleep and all around fun. Thanx to Pine River for an amazing club to camp at. And again thanx to the cool guys, we love all of yall
