    Luckily my wife works night so I don't drive her nuts. She's not happy that my stuff is taking up a couple closets!

    It's really too bad nobody is excited for this camp...

    What's funny - first time I drove out left at 3:30am Sat, next year group left at 10:00pm Fri night, next year 8:00pm Fri, last year 7:30pm Fri...now talking about leaving little earlier on Fri this year...nobody can wait to get there. I texted my carload last week on what time everyone can be available to leave that day with work and such...and everyone responded they were ready NOW!

    I'm glad it's not just me...:)

    I moved all my stuff into the spare bedroom on the bed. Gotta repack tonight. Going to my father in laws bow shop this weekend to get a dozen more arrows, another spare release, extra broad heads, and a Montana decoy or two

    I always carry a Silva Expedition 4 compass and TOPO map with me, so I have no need for a battery burner GPS with maps on it and also if my GPS does screw up, I can still read my map. The Garmin Foretrex 401 is used by Military all over the world, Its reliable, waterproof and the Foretrex 401 is a slim wrist-mounted GPS navigator perfect for outdoor activities that require the use of both hands......... Making it Ideal for Bowhunting ;). What do you require of a GPS, for me personally, as long as it tells me where I am on my map, it marks wallows, rubs, camp and other waypoints, I'm happy as a pig in poop!
    I also have the Garmin MapSource file for Colorado, so I can look for a good place or hot spot on my laptop, mark the Waypoint and then transfer it to my GPS.

    You may get to leave sooner than you want when your Nazi tree hugging boss audits your email. I would love to leave right now too. Sadly we have a two week exam starting the 16th. Didn't know if the boss man was going to let me miss the last week of it as its a very big deal however he knows I don't miss work much and that I had this trip planned for over a year and a half

    Good idea Bails. If any of you guys think of something last minute you need let me know and ill try and pick it up for you , namely broad heads, arrows, releases, decoys, etc.

    We debated going to bass pro on the way but hadn't set that in stone yet as we both are in a hurry to get to camp.
