Official dates for this year. July 18-20. Some may come early some may stay late. You never know. But I do know I am tired of winter. Keith
-
Hope to get there Monday or Tuesday before!
Hawkdancer

Cahl and I can't wait. We both had an excellent time last year.
John said he might tag along this time. He has an online friend that lives not far from there with a similar antique tractor addiction to his. ;)
-
I've decided I'm not going to Elm Hall this year or I'll just make it up for the day or so. instead Nina and I are going to Missouri :BB
-
Sounds like a good time abiulding! Guess I better get a batch of "MoJam Ale" started!
Cody, John may know my cousin, Bob McConnell, who is also addicted to antique tractors. He is older than me, though!
Hawkdancer

Hawkdancer,
He meets quite a few fellas on The Bash forum. Apparently the guy he is going to meet lives about 20 min south of MOJAM and has attended in the past. I believe his name is Tim Arnett. John loves his tractors. He normally "doesn't do heat" but since I added the air to our cargo trailer he's hitching a ride down with us.

That's awesome Paul! Can't wait
-
Hey I heard paul amd nina are coming to mojam this year!
I've already ready already
-
where is the mojam?
-
Mo? Marshall, Missouri, north of I 70 to Yerba(?)right until you get to the range (more or less) >:D!
Heck, I been in Colorado since '70 - I needed a guide to get there! A great jam,
Hawkdancer
-
It'll be great to see The Nina!
-
I'll be there if it hairlips the govenor.
-
Thanks for the warning danny!
-
Your welcome Dave
-
I'll be there if it hairlips the govenor.
I have no idea what that means...? ???
But it sure sounds like something Danny would say. :D

That's great to hear Paul! Little different vibe than Marshall MI but lots of bow building and having a good time. I'm really glad you are coming, maybe some more of the guys up your way will make it this year to.

Paul, I can promise you will done have a real good time (lol)
-
Are we having a flight shoot like last year again? I havent heard much talk about it.
-
Dave,
Is "Miss Marley's Flemish String Jig Factory" still open for business? I am in need of a left handed model. I can supply some exotic wood and trade goods suitable to young ladies.
Hawkdancer
-
I'm sure we can whip something up for you jerry!
-
A guy can't have too many jigs - right now any is more than I got! Jacie makes some fine feather jewelry and also pendants! I may be able to get her to make a copy of the "Dancing With Wolves" arrowhead for a pendant.
Hawkdancer
-
That definitly beats my 1x6 with holes and nails in it. Lol
-
I hope to be able to mess with Bob again as he tries to teach a left handed guy to do a Flemish twist string for the second time! (lol). Show me, talk me through it, and I can do it, maybe! >:D! Will post a pic of the arrowhead pendant. Right now, it is one of a kind!
Hawkdancer
-
Fish fry is on for wedesday this year. Same format as last year. Bring a contribution for the meal and a good appetite!
-
No jig needed. A couple of nails and a coffee table is all you need. Best to make strings when wife isn’t home. Keith
-
Making strings is easier than teaching how to make a string... :OK Badger talks like he isn't going to make it, but we can still do the flight shoot since he left the arrows we need. (SH)
-

especially if the nails are in the Coffee table! >:D
Hopefully, we can get a flight shoot in! That was fun, even if I didn't do very well! We are going to try to set up the new pyramid tent next week and do a "field test" next weekend to see which pole works best! And figure out how to ventilate it and keep bugs out!
Hawkdancer
-
where is the mojam?

-
Carol and I are coming on Tuesday. We are bringing two grandsons this year. Hopefully it will dry out by then. Mojam is the family you want to see.
-
PauN,
Hope you guys came through those storms ok! What we saw on the news looked pretty bad in Lawrence!
Hawkdancer
-
Hi Jerry,
Been away but got back today. That tornado went 1/2 mile from my kid's apt. in SE Lawrence. "Fortunately" I was in town with them and we rode it out OK.
Closer than I've ever been and would ever want to be again...
-
Being that close would make a drinking man out of a teetotaler! I lived just south of the Hill and then out in Eudora while I was in that area. Left there in '70. Actually got lost last summer trying to find my way around campus! Oh, well. Trying to keep an eye out for some of that good Denver whiskey on sale, as well as a bit of Tullamore DEW for MoJam I hope to get the MoJam Ale started this week!
Jerry(Hawkdancer)
-
I'm going to start prepping for mojam. I just started a new job and I'm wondering what the new boss is going to say about a weeks vacation so soon, but I guess I can always find another job, mojam comes once a year.
Glad to hear you made it safe through the storms. We had a twister less than a mile from the house too. We went to the basement and almost into the vault room. Supplies were ready but it just missed us. You could see it as it went past. Reminded me of storms past at mojams!
I really cant wait to see all of you again. It feels like it's been forever. I'm going to try and get some bows done before it gets here and at least one finished whike n.v I'm there.
-
it won't be long now... It's definitely bow and arrow making time. Badger just asked me if there's still interest in the Flight shoot...? (SH) I don't know if the question here is enough or if I should start another thread...?
-
It probably wouldn't hurt to start a separate thread about the flight shoot Bob. (SH)
-
I plan on being there 5 weeks from today. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.
Neal
-
Good golly its gonna be time to leave soon! I have so much to prep before I go.
-
4 weeks from today. :)
Neal
-
I got the vacation approved today! Is the 12th to soon to show up?
-
I sure hope it works out that I can go.... it's looking iffy. However, if things work out, I hope to bring my new kayak I'm working on. You guys got me hooked on paddling.
Dave, have you ever considered doing your race in a skin on frame kayak?
-
Likely be there Mon or Tue. Looking forward to spending time with the gang!
-
Well guys, I've been completely covered up with work and a lot of things going on here around the house. But I am so ready for my time off to go to mojam I miss everybody and I haven't been able to make it to any other events this year because of one reason or another. But I plan on being there on Sunday hopefully! I got a couple projects to finish up but should be an awful good time this year, just right around the corner!
Patrick
-
Kevin, I havent thought about it because I'm so hard on my boats. I'm bringing my kayak again if you want to go, I'll go.
-
Kevin, I havent thought about it because I'm so hard on my boats. I'm bringing my kayak again if you want to go, I'll go.
If I can get there, I'm bringing mine. Yes I want to go! So glad I was able to last year. It really got my son into it also. Very grateful for that.
-
Can't wait, I won't be able to make it till Thursday this year.
And yes, we will be making the flight shoot happen again this year, so bring your best bow and a handful of arrows too if you can.
-
Got a more than slight change of travel plans! I accepted a part time position as an Archery Instructor with the Longmont Recreation Dept and the first class will meet straddling my intended arrival date of Tuesday. I will try to get on the road early Wednesday to get there in time for the fish fry Thursday!
The class is an introductory level for youth, 10 - 17, using recurve bows, so no wheelies! Wow! I'm a pro, now (SH) :NN! I'll have to load about 90% of my gear before class on Tuesday! And have the little woman get me up early Wednesday. Save me a spot on the hill by the power pole!
Hawkdancer
-
Hawk ya better be there wednesday if ya want in on the fish fry ;D
-
There might not be any highway left if I get there that fast! It's a very hard 14 hour drive! Guess I'll have to do a left over check when I get there -C-! I'd have to set up camp in the dark, and that ain't fun anymore!
Hawkdancer
-
Thise old guys have trouble with their days jon, you know how you retired guys can get. Lol
-
Yep, that's true enough. Another way to keep track of the days; As the summer solstice has passed, MoJAM festivities (for some of us) will be commencing concurrently with the next Full Moon. Just watch the moon, better than trying to remember what day it is....
-

I'll try to save some leftovers for ya Jerry. :D
I'll leave a light on for ya too. :OK
-
Dave when you are retired it don't matter what day it is ;D
-
Whelp, I'm gonna have to pull out. My job just signed me up for 3 freaking weeks of training for something that used to take two days if training. It ends on July 15th. Only way I can get there is if I fly....
Ugghhfff... this sucks.
-
I got the vacation approved today! Is the 12th to soon to show up?
We should be rolling in on the 13th ;)
John may be with Cahl and I this year. He's sort of elusive like that. Had to laugh when we were at the TN Classic. Someone came up to me and said they met him that morning and the words "he really does exist" crossed their lips. LOL I wouldn't lie to you all. Although, if it's hot (I'm laughing while saying that), you'll have to visit him n the trail with the air one while he's eating ice cream. He's not a fan of the heat.
Oh! I need to get my hands on some back sinew to fix the bow John was working on. He was told that would remedy his issue. If any of you all have any I'd gladly settle up with you for it.
3 WEEKS for this early bird!
-

I'm border line gonna throw a tempertanrum. A phenomenal stave was gifted to me that I'm supposed to pick up there, a bow I made last year that cracked was sinew backed by a friend, and he was waiting for me to tiller it because I wanted to be there for it. It's going to be an amazing bow. Then there's the flight shoot, and I was gonna go kayaking with the skin on frame I just got finished building... ( taking it out in a few hours for the maiden trip soon as the paint dries )...and I was gonna bring shark dip for the camp, not to mention old friends and new ones....
I'm so frustrated could punch a hornet's nest!
-
I got the vacation approved today! Is the 12th to soon to show up?
I guess if the parks not open you could hitch up outside our house, since the dogs would not let you in.
-
I'll probably be there around noon on Saturday and I wont know how many of my kids will be there that early but hopefully at least two. They seem to be wanting to come out later in the week this year. Lol why would anyone want to do that?
Kevin I sure hope you tell work how you really feel! If you cant make it who is gonna watch over the pavillion between 11pm and 6 am?
Nineteen days until mojam!..hopefully
-
Sleek, that is a major bummer! Sometimes, modern technology isn't so great! I hope the training is really good! Hate it when it turns out to be superfilous bs!
Paul, I scored a bottle of the good Denver whiskey, but Jacie is looking at it real hard! I'll have to placate her with a sample! Looking forward to seeing every one!
CJ, every now and then it is only hot and muggy instead of REALLY HOT AND MUGGY!
Time to get the load list worked up and stuff ready to pack!
Hawkdancer
-

We should there later in the afternoon on Saturday with Cahl.
-
Dave and Kevin, as long as the river stays up, you guys will have all kinds of new places to take kayaks! The levees have broke all over in the bottom so there is still water everywhere.
Maybe we can get a Mojam Carp and Gar Shoot in early in the week. Just a thought.....
20 days til I get there.
Neal
-
Sounds like Mojam is soon to become a two week event lol. I'll be there sunday most likely. Might give Dave a call and see what's happening on saturday. Heck who knows....
-
A 2 week event would be perfect for everything there is to do there.

I was just thinking about calling you and asking if you would want to do a little bow fishing early in the week. I've been trying to collect some gear for that. I've got the bows just need the rest of the stuff. I'm down for some carp shooting!
I plan on being there on Sunday. Dave, save me some room for a big tent this year. As of right now I won't be in a camper this year. May have to stick a window unit in the door! Wouldn't be the first time!
Patrick

Thanks Aaron!

If you need a shirt comment size and quantity. If you put it on the facebook page you won't need to do it here.

Arvin (Selfbowman) will not be able be able to join us this year, but he has kindly offered a donation to everyone. He has built what he calls a target/hunting bow set with a beautiful case and arrows, I believe it is 51# @ 28" He has asked that I post these pictures for him.
He also wants everyone who participates in the flight shoot to have an opportunity to shoot one arrow to see who can get the best distance. We will put everyones name in a hat to see which order they will shoot.
He wants everyone here on PA to decide how it should be given away, either to the person with the best distance, or to be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the club. So post whichever way you think.
-
I think Arvin likes the idea of having everyone participating in the Flight Shoot, shoot one arrow from his bow and then sign the case...then we will sell the set in the auction.
-
Personally, I think it should be auctioned off
-
That's what we'll do then... it should be the top item Saturday night. :OK
-
Yep it's 51@28 , 68" ntn , five target arrrows , two extra broadheads, one broadhead flight arrow.
Bow is 1-1/2 at fades 1-1/4 mid limb 5/16 tips. Holding 1-1/4 reflex right now. But I think it's going to take some more set once shot a bit more. I can't shoot it right now. May try one broadhead shot tomorrow if I can get it back. Stinking pinched nerve. Arvin
-
it's a beauty Arvin...thanks again sir! I had better start saving my money for the auction... don't forget to sign the box before you mail it!
-
That is an amazing set Arvin! I'm really sorry to hear that you can't make it this year. You will be missed buddy!
I like the idea of everyone shooting it in the flight shoot and singing the case. I also think it should be put in the auction. I just want to see it in person!
Patrick
-
Beautiful set! At least, I may get to shoot it once! I'm too tax poor to bid on it and can't shoot far enough to win it! Better put it on the block first, so the lower bidders can try for something else!
Hawkdancer
-
That is a heck of a set Arvin. :OK
Reminds me of those Victorian Era archery sets that I've only seen in books.
-
That is a beautiful archery set Arvin. I'm fairly certain that will bring some big bucks in the auction. Kudos to you Arvin for your most generous donation.
-
less than 3 weeks away...even for those that wait until it actually starts... closer to 2 weeks for the rest of us. (-S
-
And the days go as slowly by until the last week, then bingo, it's here.
Like sand through the hour glass.....
G
-
Robin, put me down for one large tee shirt, please!
Just shy of 3 weeks! Naturally, there are a great many other things trying to interfere with getting everything loaded, but I'm going over my list and checking it twice! Serious organizing starts next week.
Hawkdancer
-
Dave said he plans to be there two weeks from today! I think he looks forward to Mojam for some reason ;D
Neal
-
the man!
-
the man!
No, THE LEGEND... ;)
-
Dave has a bigger beard that cant be him!
Sunny and 85 for Marshall Missouri on July 12th. Be there or be square! Two weeks away. It's going to be here before you know it. I have no idea how I am going to pack everything I want to take! I'm looking forward to see you guys, seeing the new concrete floors under the lights, shooting clay bird chips on my favorite range in the world, going through a thunderstorm or two... (-S (W. Let's not forget a dip in the pool, a swig or two of ice cold apple pie, fried fish, biscuits and gravy, polish dogs, ham sandwiches...the joy when the portable toilets get there. Meeting new friends seeing old ones.
-
Man I sure wish I was going. One of these years.
That kinda looks like Dave, but the pencil is in the wrong place and the beard isn't long enough. Maybe it's Clint doing his impersonation of Dave.
Bjrogg
PS you guys and gals make sure you have enough fun for me to. Don't forget the pictures. Travel safe.
-
Well I shot the donation bow just now . I got 201 yds with the one shot with the yellow fletched arrow.
I short drew a bit cause I have to release pretty quick due to pinched nerve. I think some one will shoot it 210 yds. Well be in the mail Monday to Kieth. Arvin
-
It sounds like a great bow... congrats! We will wear it out... :OK I'll let Aaron or Ed shoot it for the 'official' distance...they are good at it. Thanks again for the great donation... I promise you, it is appreciated...
Bob
-
Wow, I can't wait, 2 weeks to complete a year's worth of preparation. I'm with Dave, July 12th is the start of mojam! I will probably be a day late, but I remember being the only person there on Sunday morning! Can't wait to see everyone and meet all of the new comers!
Patrick
-
Well, looks like I have the time off from work I needed. And by time off, I mean, I didnt get the contract :/
So I am wracking my brain to figure how to afford the trip. I have a good amount of bamboo backing strips that I will bring with me to pedel for fuel costs. I have 24 strips, most over 5 foot long, and widths between 1-2 inches wide. I wonder if there will be an interest enough in them to take the risk? Not just from you guys, but the general public as well?
-
I'll cover your entry fee and camping fees Kevin. ;D
-
I'll cover your entry fee and camping fees Kevin. ;D
HAHA.... You a funny guy Dave :D
-
I can provide some sourdough "hardtack", it should be real hard in another 2 1/2 weeks! -C- >:D Maybe even some jerky and beverages! Keep you from withering away to a mere shadow of your former self! (-P
Hawkdancer
-
Kevin, I'll cover your dinner Wednesday and Saturday to if that helps. Even got your ice too.

Always glad to help out with a pinch! >:D. Or is it " in a pinch?" (lol)
Hawkdancer
-
A little over a week for me! Lots to finish up, but so ready to see everyone!
Hawk, I need to get with you and have that drink this year, preferably without falling asleep! ;D
Patrick
-
So what day do you all want to hit the water?
I've actually started packing some things. At least setting them aside where I can account for them easier. Happy fourth of July everyone! I'll be at mojam this time eight days from now!
-
Happy 4th back at you Dave...and to everyone else too... :OK
I've been trying to finish a few projects which include making quite a few arrows...gift arrows, friendship arrows, award arrows, auction arrows, flight shoot arrows, clout shoot arrows, 3D arrows, and even some midnight to 2 am milk jug/skeet shooting arrows. (SH) See you in about 10 days! I plan on getting there Tuesday.

Ya never know... ;) but I'd bet you money that I'll be shooting after midnight... :OK
-
I'm gonna hafta go buy some tomato stakes and get to fetching. I have almost no arrows. Maybe I can make a trade with feathers and wood.
All this pending I dont get picked up on another contract next week.
-
Sleek, Wait a minute! You mean there are more important things than MOJAM! Like making the mortgage and the utility bills? >:D (lol)! Either way, hope you can get there! I know what you mean! Somebody ain't getting paid this month!
Hawkdancer

I haven't had a contract since April. "Somebody aint getting paid this month". Its me. I'm somebody.
-
Patrick,
The MoJam Ale is in the fermenter, happily bubbling away! Should be able to bottle next Friday. Hope to get there Wed. Afternoon in time to set up and make the fish fry! Only have one archery class to teach so I will get in some driving time Tuesday evening and finish the push Wednesday. Plan to be at the top of the hill again, if there is room left. Probably going to get some jerky made this weekend.
Hawkdancer
-
Damn Bob, if I had known you were making all those arrows I would have sent you some shafts and you could have made mine to! I have been getting at least an hour in the shop a night feverishly working on things for mojam. I think I like to get there early so I have unobstructed time to finish things before everyone else gets there. It looks like o will be there Friday night if the gates are open, and I will have to leave Sunday to go get my kids and come back. That helps with all the things I will forget to grab. Lol
Jerry I'll be sure to save you some fish even if its gonna be late.
I'm gonna grab a box of clay birds to shoot so we can shoot at the chips later Bob. I dont even feel bad about losing to a one eyed man. You can flat out shoot brother!
-
I can bring a box too if you want, but I'm bringing a few milk jugs. They don't break, make a cool noise when you hit them, and they are free! (SH)
-
I have a few milk/water jugs I will bring almond, too!
Dave, I appreciate the offer! I may only be able to bring the chips and dips! Will send a pm.
Mead is made, ale is bubbling, and jerky is in the smoker! I'm almost ready! Everything else is on the loading list, I hope.
Btw, what are those littl bugs that crawl all ones everything? And how do you get rid of them?
Hawkdancer
-
Looks like the unofficial beginning is less than a week away. The way my work schedule is this year I may be the last one there. Look forward to seeing you all. The weather is a cool 88 degrees with 90% humididity. Let the fun begin. Keith

They are ants. Don’t feed em. Lol
-
A couple cans of Diazanon sprinkled around! Maybe?
Hawkdancer
-
That should work Hawk, but bring a bottle of windex for close range. It will kill them pretty much on contact.
Well it looks like all I have to do when I get get off of work is get things loaded. That is after I get my truck back from the shop. Having the rear-end rebuilt. The penion bearing decided it was going to bite the dust.
Dave, save Eric and I our usual spot, we will be there probably earlier Monday morning. Just the rest of this week!
Patrick
-
I'll be there Tuesday... I'm bringing some canned jalapenos and hot sauce for the fish fry... can't wait.
-
Yep, Tuesday morning for me.. If all goes as planned.
Really looking forward to seeing y'all.
Good Lord Willing.
-
Every hour that passes, the better it's looking like i can go. I have lots to do before I can leave and even more when I get there. I may be leaving this Wednesday or Thursday, To arrive either Friday or sat.
-
Is anyone bringing a spine tester?
-
Gonna be there saturday Lord willing. Prepped but a little packing to do this week. See everyone soon.
-
Sleek,
I'll have mine along, it's the primitive type, though. Will probably load the chronograph, too. I have some arrows to straighten, and some staves to rough out, and split or saw.

I have a bunch of bamboo tomato stakes I'm going to turn into arrows. I'm gonna need to spine test them to get a rough idea on what Im dealing with. Where are going to be camping Hawk?
-
Hopefully, near the top of the hill where I was last year! Look for the pyramid tent and easy up shade!
With some luck, I will be in Wed. afternoon around 4 or 5. I'm bringing some red osier shafts that I'm working and some cane and POC among other projects, staves, etc and some of Jacie's jewelry for sale

I think I'm going to try to work on some arrows this year to. But I want to try and get my bow made. Got a ring chased on a beautiful Osage stave. Probably going to wear out a belt sander, excuse me, a power rasp! So ready, can't focus at work!

Well, I'm bringing mine, I dont know if Eric is bringing his or not, but you should have options!
-
Sounds good bub!
Patrick

I can throw along my spine tester and chroni as well. Backups never hurt. I won’t be able to stay the entire week. I couldn’t get off work. But the benefit of a 2 on 2 off schedule. I’ll leave Wednesday night to work on Thursday and Friday then be back on Friday night. So I’ll get down there Monday night and stay till Wednesday about noon. Then be back for the weekend. I’ll probably leave the hammock up while I’m gone to come back to.
I’m not positive what I’ll work on yet. Though another Osage Mikmak (probably not spelled right) bow. I think I’ve got it figured out and can get it shooting in a couple days.
I did get those heavy black locust arrows going and wow they shoot well out of that heavy drawing Osage ELB.

glad to hear that you are going to be there Kyle... it wouldn't be the same without you! :OK
-
Awesome Kyle. I'm packing now and will be there Friday night! I can not wait to leave. This is my tenth in a row! I'll be solo until Sunday night when my pops drops off my kids so I dont have to leave. Hopefully I can get some things done!
-
I'm planning on being there Sat.
-
Kyle, I'm glad to hear that you are going to be there as well! I can't wait to see what you have come up with to make this year.
Dave, I know you would probably take up residence at your little corner there at mojam if they would let you. Save us a spot down there, Eric, Crystal and I will be coming in Monday morning!
I pick up my truck tomorrow from the shop, got the rear end rebuilt. Then two more days of work then I will be on MOJAM time!

I'm bringing my sons puppy with us so I may need to pop a squat by a power pole this year to run the ac for her.
-
You know I will pat. Kevin and I will be hard at bowmaking by the time you get there! I am looking all over for my fish fryer, I think I left it at Eric's again. Hopefully it will turn up. I had to leave pretty quick last year. I've got one more say of packing on Thursday the Friday it's the bank then the road! Tomorrow I make the pie!

Do we have a hot plate this year for a boiler? If not, I have a 20 lb. propane I can bring but no burner...
-
I can fire up both burner on the camp stove if worse comes to worse! That just means nobody eats until I get there -C- >:D (=)! On the way one week from tonight!
Hawkdancer
-
I'm glad o dont ha e to wait a full week before I can leave!
I got a new hot plate that I will have ready to go down at the pavilion along with some extension cords so we can get the boiling water away from all the people.
-
I guess I’ll just be down Monday through Wednesday. I got called to work Saturday. So I’ll probably either take on a simpler project or just do some playing. Would y’all want me to bring along those hogs to cook up and try one evening. If someone has a smoker I’d love to try them smoked and share them. Or if anyone wants to smoke them for saturday
Kyle
-
Dave,
I think we have our turkey fryer still. I can look for it if you would like. Just in case.
It's coming up fast now. We are loading up the truck and trailer tomorrow and hitting the road early on Saturday. Cahl is getting excited. He's been pacing a hole in the floor and smiling a bunch when he thinks I'm not looking ;)
-
Damn Kyle that sucks, but I'm still glad you get to be there some. That sinswed bow, are you bringing it to tiller?
-
Kevin,
Is Dan coming with you?
-
Kevin,
Is Dan coming with you?
Yes ma'am he is :)
-
I sure will be. I’m hoping the sinew will be dry enough. I had to reglue one limb a few weeks ago as it had started to pop loose in a few places. I don’t know why I’ve had so much issue getting it to stay down on this bow. I even washed the back and scored some grooves for the glue to bite. This time I’m keeping the sinew bound until it’s ready to work. I did the same for the other limb when it popped off and needed reglued.
Kyle
-
Kyle I will be glad to put some of your hog on the smoker, their will be a couple there for sure.
Neil and I are going to go and try to shoot some fish one say. I wonder if anyone else would like to go. Of course you have to have a missouri fishing license but a daily permit is cheap. Maybe get some carp skins for some bows!
If I didn't have to work, I would be leaving now! Trucks almost done but will probably be tomorrow now one of the guy's broke his wrist when a ratchet slipped in the shop so they are short handed. But as long as it is done by Friday I'll be happy!
Patrick
-
I have a burner and a pot for fish frying, if needed. Then no one has to use up packing space.
If there is anything you need let me know, pretty sure i can find it here.
I'm on my sixth week off work because of flooding, so i have a little time on my hands.
Let me know.
Shaping up to be a good one!

Thanks! you are appreciated... see you in a few days. (-S
-
I havent found mine yet and havent heard from Eric if he has mine from last year still. I'm packing the truck tomorrow and I can not wait to see all! I'm going to take a lot of pictures again this year if I can find the time, but I normally do so no worries!.
-
Thanks Robin, you're the best buddy!
You may have to go to the park and keep Dave company, he's afraid of being there alone! >:D
Patrick
-
So, is there any need for me to bring propane, or are we covered on that?
-
Wouldnt hurt. Unless you are strapped for space
-
Sleek, we have a couple bottles here.
Pat, I've been out here a lot. I'll keep Dave company till you all get here.
-
Guys, we have a tropical storm heading towards MOJAM. It's looking like the 16th it will be close. I'm worried it could be a very wet event.
-
Oh, can I get the address please? I need to Google maps it :D
Never mind I found it.
1505 E Vest St, Marshall, MO 65340
-
MoJam is the one place I go that I don't worry about getting lost...I head north 30 miles to hwy 65 and then drive 7 hours...staying on 65 until I hit Marshall, Mo... LOL
5 days... tick, tick, tick...
-
Carol, two grandsons, two dogs, and myself will start on our way Tuesday at 11 in the morning. Can't wait to see everyone and do my yearly sweat lodge.
-
Bring rain gear! they are projecting that hurricane to float by us up there.
-
Will be good to see ya, Carl.
Get new pair of sandals for this year's festivities? ;)
(-S
-
Guess I Better bring my canoe moccasins, and make sure I get a goodly amount of waterproofing on the rain gear! The MoJam ale is bottled, and should be conditioned by Thursday evening! I hope it travels well! The Denver uiscge is tempting me! >:D. Hope that weather just skirts the area, but you never know! The big rivers may not be able to drain downstream and that ain't good! Bringing extra bug torches this year! Hope to see everyone We'd afternoon!
Hawkdancer
-
Jerry, as of now they are saying the storm will go east of Mojam. Hope they are right. Still a chance of rain Wednesday but wouldn't be Mojam without a storm
-
I'm looking at the map and seeing a bunch of red dots on the route I took in last year. Can someone tell me if the roads are good coming in from Monroe City off 36. I believe we took 24 to just west of Salisbury, picked up 5 south to Glasglow then followed 240 in. I was wondering if the rain has done some damage to the roads. Can someone let me know if those are still clear?
Heading out to pick up some groceries and finish loading the truck today. We leave early in the morning and should get there about 4:30ish tomorrow afternoon.
-
Coby. I know 240 is open from Glasgow
-
Well, I dont thinknits gonna be tonight! I'll be heading out early tomorrow morning. One last night in the ac never hurt anyone anyway.
-
First one here! Dave I'm blasting the A.C. right now >:D

Got to remember the fan and the power cord. Makin' the list and checking it twice! Offering free lessons in putting up a one pole pyramid tent! Should be able to pop a cold MoJam Ale when done >:D (lol)!

Sandals are made and ready to go. Hope no muddy trails.
-
Hope the flight shoot, clout shoot area isn't under water.
Won't be long now.
-
So far things are going good! Life is good, weather is good and company is good. I'm taking early pictures that I'll post when I get better service.
-
I hope to be getting in sometime Tuesday. Sue plans to arrive Wednesday.
With any luck a buttermilk pie will be with her. :)
-
Oooo, buttermilk!
Dave we are trying to get everything ready so we can head out early am tomorrow. I'm so ready to get there, if u wasn't so tired, I would leave tonight.
Patrick
-
Everyone drive safely! DonT try to push too hard, take a break when needed! Hawkdancer! Listen to your own advise! I'm planning to make it to Wakeeney, KS Tuesday night about 11 or so and stop for the night. Hasty camp at KOA! I start loading tomorrow, bedding, duffel bag and cold stuff (including MoJam Ale) goes in last! Hope to be on the road by about 5:30 pm Tuesday! Got to get there in time to see that buttermilk pie! I might be able to make a low sugar version so Jacie can have som, too!
Hawkdancer
-
Yes hawk, take your own advice buddy.
Well we are loaded and the trailers are hooked up! We are ready to jump in the truck in the morning and head out after a quick trip to the gas station.
Boy Chrystal is a sweet girl and light to!
See you all in the am!
Patrick
-
Safe travels to All. :OK

Well, "Hope in one hand.."
Two Dr. appts Tuesday for kid plus a need to mow and pick veggies means my "usual" get there Wednesday I guess.
-
Sorry Paul, but at least your should make it before the fish fry!
On the way!
Patrick
-
it sure looks like it's MoJam time! I'm doing my final packing in a wonderful 75° mist...will be leaving fist thing in the morning and hope to be there noonish tomorrow. If anyone needs me to bring anything...let me know asap. It looks like it might get muggy this year as they are saying this nice rain will be creating some nice humidity later this week... so you might leave the wool undies at home this year. (lol)
-
Sorry Paul, but at least your should make it before the fish fry!

Gonna try for an early departure Wednesday.
Gots to be there for the fish fry cause I'll have those pies... ;D
-
Finished up packing up, heading out Tuesday A.M. Wonder what I forgot this time. Well, no matter, it will be here when I get home.
Got some project bows, some shooting bows, and a bunch of stuff to put on a tarp, honor system, if you need it, go ahead and take it and make a donation to the Marshall Bow Hunters.
Looking forward to seeing y'all.
