Poor Mike, I don't think these shenanigans will ever end.

If there was ever a cooler that was worth $1200, that's it.  I'm guessing you kept a close eye on your camera 😁

So I'm wasting time making bows to donate to Elm Hall to raise cash, I just need to gussy up a cooler and auction it! Great work guys, I'm sure the fella's at MoJam appreciate it very much.

Not just any cooler Chris. It has to be one commandeered from a very special person, then snazzied up to their exacting standards. Very special cooler for a very special guy. Good on you Knoll. I hope they filled it up properly for you, at that price it should never get empty.

Well believe it or not, Onebowwonder and myself just rolled in to springfield, MO about 30 minutes ago (its now 11:30pm). We were the first one's to arive and the last ones to leave.  Mobow even stopped to congratulate us while he was leaving.

What a trip though,  sure was great to see everyone! More to come tomorrow...

MoJam ... small portion of the environs.





Shelter House is where much, but not all, of the bow-building (and bs'ing) happens.






These huge cartons contain ice. FREE ICE!! MoJam organizers provide free ice to all the campers. In temps of high 90's and similar humidity, this is sooooo precious!


Target shooting line.


Setting up for the Jug Shoot. Inaugural event for this year's MoJam.


Pat's bow-tillering rig. Absolutely essential!

MoJam ... kids are huge part of the week.











During MoJam week, Mr RedBeard is one of the kids.

MoJam . . . our homes away from home. Camping area was totally filled with several campers forced to use the day-parking area.

glad to see the pictures starting to post.  Was good seeing everyone.  I think this might be one of the hotter MOJams.  I also think it was one of the best.  Quick lost and found report.  One drum, one clamp and one vise welded to a steel plate.  Let me know if it is yours and we will see about getting it back to you.  Keith

Nice pics Mikey! I recognize a bunch of them ugly mugs. Are you sure Patrick should be running power tools? Seems sketchy to me.

Thanks for the pictures Knoll. I've meet a fair amount of them to. Looks like might have a bunch more to meet yet to. Looks like a great time.

great pictures!  I have one of Rob and Dave... right after some "liquid dessert"... a combination of homemade apple pie, cherry pie, blackberry pie, and even some orange Julius...  (A)
