Mike, not even close to the Classic! ::) Like Wade said, only about 20 or so folks the last 2 years. Can't really handle too many more than that. You are welcome to come.
   Jamie, it would be great if you came. Cousin Fred can come too.
I'll have the pit ready for heat treating rock again. One thing similar to the Classic is the ticks. We have a bumper crop this year. ;D

 Tiller, no ticks? No turkeys. I amused myself while calling birds by watching how long it took for ticks to die crawling on my pants. You have to sit still to kil a bird. 8)

I'll see if I can make it.  I'm getting married on the 11th a few days before then, so I might have other things on my mind....  You want me to tell Bruce and Harley (the native bowyer) about the gathering?  They live just a few minutes apart so they can car pool.

John

  John, congratulations on the gettin' married. You might as well go, it doesn't take long to wear the newness off. :D

Post by: Pat B on May 19, 2009, 08:43:32 pm

John, I hope you can come but I understand why you might not! ;D  Sure, tell Bruce and Harley. They are welcome and good if they can ride together.
  I killed a 2' copperhead down there a few days ago. Nice dark skin too...now drying in the basement! ;D

Thanks Eddie.  Its not a concern about the "newness" wearing off, but which would you rather be the one of the last things to see before going to sleep and first things after waking up?

This?

Steve, the closest motel is atleast 10 miles away. Camping is free if you want to camp.

Post by: Pat B on June 19, 2009, 01:42:34 am

Just over a month away. July 24, 25, 26. Lets start a list of who is coming.
  FYI...So far this season it has been rainy!!! We had 9 1/2" of rain in May and June won't be too far behind so that is a consideration while planning. It has just started getting hot during the day(85+) but nights are still in the 60s. Ticks have been a problem with our dogs and skeeters will probably be around if the rain continues. I killed 2 copperheads near the activity area but there is also a big(7'+) black snake that is trying to keep them in check. I haven't found any yellow jacket nests yet but don't count them(and hornets) out.
   The good news is I have added a bale of cedar chips and a bag of lime for use in the outhouse!  ;D

Post by: boo on June 19, 2009, 02:49:23 am

Pat, you can count me in at the moment. The only thing that could stand in my way is school (depends on how many essays i have to write) but i think i could manage one or two days either way. looking forward to it.

Update...Sister found a yellow jacket nest yesterday morning( :o ) and yesterday afternoon Lucy verified it! ( :o ). I'll deal with that this weekend and begin in earnest looking for more. Also Lucy found another copperhead yesterday so I have another skin for my collection.
   I'll start making a list of folks that are coming.
  David, We will take pics so you can be here vicariously!  ;)
Pappy, as you know, if you build it, they will come!

Well, I gave the yellow jackets a good shot of wasp and hornet spray. I will check back later to see the results. After mowing the area, I did not find anymore yellow jackets. I'm sure we will find some when everyone gets here. ;D

Bruce's mother just passed and he had to run up north to take care of things.  This might have taken up all this vacation time.  Our little Liberty group will meet in the beginning of July, so I should be able to tell you who all is coming.  I'm planning on trying to make it.

Hi Pat,

Sure wish I could be there...my daughter & fiance is coming down from DC that weekend or I would be!  After blowing up two backed bows I need to regroup and maybe try another self bow.  Recently met a fellow here who will swap bow advice for flute building advice so looks like things might work out!  Hope you guys have a great time!

Yall forgot the whining 1.5 year old. I got that covered.  Anybody interested in a bowdrill challenge?  We could find spindle and drill materials in the woods. I figured on bringing my own strang (nettle) and bow and handhold (rock), but lookin for the rest.
