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!

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.

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!

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 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.
