Cool Jeff. That's a long haul. I think we did it in 11 hours.   Airport is only 45 minutes away though!  ;)

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama
Post by: Pat B on July 13, 2011, 02:48:05 am

I'd like to get a head count so I have an idea of who's coming. Just a little over a week away.
  We have been having a few ticks lately. Previous reports of chiggers too so bring what you need for them. With all the rain we've been having there might even be skeeters, but only a few!  ;D
  We all might try to get together with the food that will be coming so we don't over do it.  ::)  I have a Weber Kettle grill and if need be we can build a fire to cook on.
  So lets hear who's coming and what you are bringing in the way of food but primitive skills and projects.  I'll get a detailed map or directions up in a few days.

Hey Pat,
This is Jay and Jessica from Tryon, Nc, we hope this mesage finds you doing well.  We would like to come up on Friday and camp for the weekend.  We will bring some kind of sweet and a rawhide-backed osage that needs final tillering. We can come and help set up or take down.  Jaybird

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama
Post by: Pat B on July 13, 2011, 07:41:08 pm

That's great to hear Jay.  We missed you and Jessica last year. Y'all come on on Friday. Can't wait to see ya.   Send me an email so I have yours. I couldn't find it a few weeks ago when I was going to email you about the camp-o-rama. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again.  8)

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama
Post by: Pat B on July 15, 2011, 01:16:02 am

Well, looks like it is just you, Jess and myself next weekend, Jay. Nobody else is speaking up.  ???
  Ordered the Port-a-potty today and it will be here Thursday. Will get the tarps up this weekend and get some mowing done.

Post by: jonathan creason on July 15, 2011, 11:23:40 am

Looks like I'll be coming up Sat. morning sometime.  Not sure yet what I'll have for grub, I'll have to do some digging.  I'll probably bring some of that fine ryolite I've got laying around, and if I can get them done maybe some knife blanks.

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama
Post by: Pat B on July 15, 2011, 11:34:55 am

I've heard that David Knight(et al) is coming and bringing his smoker. I think they are planning chicken and BBQ.

Post by: stringstretcher on July 15, 2011, 07:00:23 pm

Pat.  Put a chair there somewhere and hang a sign on it, "Charlie is here is spirit".  I hope you guys have a great time and sure wished I could be there.  Maybe in another year things will improve and I can do some traveling.  I sure hope so.  Miss you guys.  Have fun.  And if you make up another potion of that pine pitch, save me a blob.

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama

Hey Pat.  Just make sure to put a special invitation out to that, what was his name, oh yeah, Mr. Jameson, and all will be OK.  Enjoy your gathering, and happy birthday by the way.

Title: Re: Patty's Camp-O-Rama
Post by: jonathan creason on July 19, 2011, 06:54:56 pm

Looks like there's a chance I may get to come on Friday, but I'm not certain yet.  If so I may bring an osage stave along and get some expert assistance.

Sorry you won't be here Alan. We'll miss ya! Maybe next year!  8)
  Steve, glad to here y'all are coming. I haven't seen you around much lately. I was gonna call Barry but hadn't yet. Glad you did! Lil Pat will be there Saturday.  8) 
  I found a big yellowjacket nest right next to the fire pit this evening. I sprayed it once but ran out of spray. Getting more cans tomorrow!  ;) Haven't seen any copperheads but the chiggers are awaiting your arrival!  ;)   
  I got one tarp almost up this evening. Yellowjackets prevented the finish. Will get the other tarp up tomorrow and do a scouting trip for other YJ nests! Outhouse will be here by mid day tomorrow so whenever anyone wants to come, we're ready...I guess!  ;D

Don't forget the golf-ball sized hail, continuous lightning, and 60mph wind gusts. :) I hope my rainmaking ability holds up for next weekend-we could use some to bring the hogs out. Just not quite as much rain as I brought with me that one time we went down in December..........;D

Patrick, talk ElD into coming and hitch a ride.  ;)
Thanks Eddie. I'll tell Barry hey for you.

It's gonna be a hot one! I killed the big yellowjacket nest next to the fire pit tonight. It had 2, 2"dia entrance holes about 6" apart.  That thing would have had the whole party dancing!!!  ::)

You guys are welcomed. Couldn't have done it without everyone that was there and I appreciate all of you for helping me celebrate my B-day(a few days early). Looking forward to next year.
  I found a smaller blue/white cooler with wheels and a few camping chairs that were left. If you forgot anything just let me know and I'll get it to you.
  I uploaded my pics to the computer but was having trouble uploading to photobucket so it will be tomorrow night before I can post any.  Tina(Mrs. Hillbilly) took lots of pics that should be interesting!  ::)

A misplaced cooler is always a sign of how well the party went. Sorry I missed it.

Last summer we had a neighborhood "gathering" in the street that went late. The next morning I found my cooler sitting in the center of the road..It was also a good one .

 Happy Birthday Pat!
