I've been biting my tongue, genuflecting frequently, and keeping my fingers crossed hoping things might turn out to where I could make it, ...but alas I'm pretty certain now that I will not be able.  Work has called for me to come into the office on Thursday to do a presentation to our sales guys and get them ready to talk about our new offering.  I'm not yet ready and it will take a solid week to get ready.  So, ...no last minute miracle opening in the plans for me.  :'( :'( :'(  I am seriously jealous of you all but I hope you have a wonderful event.  Stay safe, take pictures, post them after (they do me no good on your i-phone!), and for heaven's sake, TRY to keep Mike from getting lost!

There is a clubhouse with very nice restrooms and showers.  I think there is a water hydrant to fill up your containers.  Limited electricity up front.  Peaceful quiet camping in the back field.  Except for that one guy who liked to chop firewood at 6 am a couple of years ago.

Kyle don't worry too much about getting "everything" packed. Town is just a skip away and they have all the stores you might need to visit.

I'm more concerned with forgetting a tool, a stave, a box of stuff to trade.  I've done enough primitive camping to be comfortable without most "necessaries."  And like Danzn Bar said, once camped, I hate leaving. I make a grudging exception for ice runs.

Man Eric I sure am sorry your not going to make it! :'( I'll do my best to keep the bells tied to Mike's shoelaces. We don't need another "incident", way to many woods around camp for that!

Pearl, that weather sounds great! Better than last year. Is was so hot and humid it wasn't funny. We drove 14 hours north to the land of evergreens and snow just to find heat and humidity! It was actually cooler in South West Missouri!
But what a show of hospitality! Even changed the weather to remind us of home. FYI, I'm not a huge fan of the heat either brother!  (S)

Ill be making plenty of dust this year, last year I was worthless in that humidity. I have a few yew projects and an osage pole bow that needs tweaking and shot-in.

Paul,  could you take a better picture of how it attaches to the post please?  Trying to figure out materials. Thanks!

Most of them are just round stock wrapped in a coil and friction hold them up patrick
