I'm planning on heading that way Thursday after work. Might even bring the camper down Wednesday depending on when No Nose plans on showing up.

Looking forward to visiting with you... James (Nonose) is coming?  A few are going to get there Wednesday but I think Robert and I are still looking at getting there early Thursday.

Well it looks like I will be getting there Thursday afternoon with the camper. Needless to say I can't wait for Thursday afternoon to get here.

looking forward to it myself.  I put the camper on the truck yesterday to find it full of water...I have the top nearly off right now and hope to get the bad wood replaced and have it back together for Thursday myself.  See you there.

That's no good with the camper. We replaced the roof on my father's motor home this past spring, so I know what your dealing with.

It's the multiple trips to town that I hate... but I think I may beat the rain.  I have the wood replaced, caulking done, Flex Seal tape installed for added security, and I'm just about to go out and install the new LED clearance lights.  It seems they only come with a single wire these days so I have to adapt by using bolts instead of screws, and running a ground to the bolt.  Anyway...I'm thinking it's on the downside now so I should be able to start packing later this afternoon and get out of here in the morning as planned...it may be the first time I've headed to a shoot/bow building to rest... LOL.

We had a great time at the event. We met some great people and made new friends. We did get a little bow building in.

It was definitely a good shoot and spending time with new and old friends was the best part.  Thanks for inviting me in for a nice meal!  We will find something that will work for your long draw...   :OK

Great pictures, the one with the stave horse - you all were making a heap of shavings. Glad a good time was had by all.

FYI~ there are about a dozen power boxes in the parking area, each with a 50A and a couple 0f 30A outlets...lots of room for tents too.  The 3D was a blast and I was lucky enough to draw one of the best groups there...thanks guys!
