Thanks for the holly chunk Ridge! Can't wait to tie into them.

Number of other little articles and stoney treasures I picked up this last week. Once I get the garden caught up and the grass mowed I will be havin fun with a bunch of them!

Brought Ash for the first time this year and watched her have the time of her life! Always fun seein kids explore that little oasis. Quite a bit better watching your own git. Her biggest complaint was the cold at night, but who knew it was gonna be 40• in May?!?  (S)   


Didn't seem to slow her down once she got up and going. All I heard all weekend was how she wanted to hang with them dadgum Parker boys.  ;D


She was also quite fond of her camp buddy Nina.


Yessir, it was a good trip! Thanks for all the trouble you twin oaks boys go through to give us this time. Here's some more shots of the week.

Great pictures Scott, really glad you got to take your daughter and even happier that she enjoyed it. Paul and your daughters look great in those red fox furs. Hopefully see you in a couple weeks

I got home about 5pm today. I stayed over another night so I could get some rest and a early start and not be so tired for the 6 hour drive home. Got to sit around the campfire last night with Pappy, Bonepile, Grant, Becca and James Parker and their kids. It was so quiet last night I almost had trouble sleeping and it was strange seeing the camping field empty except for my tent.
 Thanks again to Pappy and all the guys and Gals of Twin Oaks. It was great to see so many old friends again and to meet some new friends.
Just think, it is just a little less than a year til the next one.  :OK     (=)

I got home late last night.  The wife and kids were already in bed so I just crawled into the camper and crashed for the night.  What a great experience the 2017 Classic was.  It felt like a big family reunion.  The new improvements to Twin Oaks were put to good use.  The weather went from blazing hot to cold and wet, and then back to perfect for the weekend.  The rain and cold didn't damper the fun.  We had another great group in our camp and even had a couple of girls were running around.  It was fun seeing how much Ashton and Nina enjoyed their first Classic.  I have a feeling it won't be their last.     

Pappy, Thank you so much for allowing all of us to roam your property for a week. 

And a big thanks to the Twin Oaks Crew.  You guys put in a lot of hard work and it is greatly appreciated.

My pictures start early in the week before the crowd arrived.

Hole in the bow Chuck was working on a holey bow.  He got it tillered and shot the entire course with it.








It only took 2 targets for Nina to end up sitting in a mud hole.








Stringman's 16" skillet got a work out this week.




Hearing a live performance of Life Is Good from Will Harrison around the fire at Twin Oaks is quite an experience.




Gary Davis didn't spend much time in the bow shop this year.  I wonder why  ;D




Badly Bent and Nate stalking the caribou herd






Will splicing a toilet seat






Stump shooting must mean something different in Texas.

Man I should have just borrow a boat and crossed the flood waters. I already see faces I missed this year and fun times as well.  Im so glad to see the pics of the yungens.  I really believe that they are what is going to carry on this awesome tradition. Im glad everyone made it home safely. I can't wait to see all of the rest of the pictures!
