best description of you I've ever read.

Alex was over this morning. We made a pot of coffee and put our fifty combined years of military toward some entertainment for you children.

Won't be too bad - I'll most likely go up a couple of days ahead and set up an orienteering course. One for Friday night, one for Sat. Then after y'all run it, again in two/three teams, each team will set up their own course for the other team to run. Since they are familiar with the area make those who attended last time team leaders. Will extend this one out a lot more though. Alex and I will come in early again Fri, do a set up check again, and wait for y'all. Will see if I can set up lunch Sat. Due to a commitment I'll have to leave by 2 or so Sat.

Really glad to hear you and Alex are going to make it

Sounds like Nav Course setup is covered now so that will save me a lot of work. Guess that will leave me more time for setting traps for the other attendees

Ok guys, looks like everyone is planning on driving themselves to the Campout this year. correct? Just making sure so we can skip the carpool directions step.

Also, we want to know what day/time everyone is planning to arrive so we know when to run the events ect.

I think saxplayer and Flysc are the only ones who need the location info so I'll IM them tonight. If anyone else needs it LMK.

That's not polite. He hasn't kicked the bucket....yet.

We'll certainly miss you axl, hate you won't make it.

Although I'll sleep with one eye open just in case this is some kinda training exercise where you surprise us hammock rotisseries in the middle of the night.

Make sure you guys bring your pace beads, a compass, and a 1:24 protractor or ruler if you have them.

Well, I haven't had to cover extra production in a month. They spring it on us the weekend of this event. Figures. Maybe next go round. Y'all have fun and stay safe (even though is it is hard to stay safe and have fun simultaneously)

Well, this year's camp out was great.

We ended up with four adults, one teenager and two doggies.

We had a fantastic time.

Night one, we cleaned one rabbit and cooked it whole.

Day two, we had the second rabbit cut into small pieces and grilled for breakfast and went on a hike to see some of the other falls and camping areas.

When we got back, we took a nap and started learning about knot tying, land navigation and comparing gear and all around having a great time.

All in all, this was a great success.

*HUGE THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR - TS ARMS in Pelham*

Tim hooked us up with some awesome swag.

For those of you that don't know, TS Arms just opened a new location and it rocks. Go check them out.

Pics are uploading now. I'm taking a nap.
