    Ok, now I am ready to trade a bow for a kayak....the sky opened up. I type this as we stand under the awning as others went to the local holiday inn...

    Wait, what do I see ? It's a light from Germs truck thru this downpour.

    Well here is what I can say. Germ made it, but part of his camper is somewhere in Ohio. Matt made his tent into a raft and we laugh about it all around our newly started epic fire...

    It is without a doubt going to be an adventure

    Damn Michigan LITTER BUGS!!! *HP "If you see a RED DODGE 2010 Model travelling WEST BOUND on I-90, he's the CULPRIT that left the camper AWNING along the freeway. Pretty easy to spot, he'll be pulling the camper missing it's awning!!!" :D

    Doug and a crew at Dave's Archery did a great job in setting the course. Good thing, is tomorrow is the benefit shoot for our local RMEF Chapter, so for me, it will be a another full day of archery...

    Germ kicked some a$$ in Cornhole and Doug was a close second....

    Well another year and another NE GTG down. Thank you Doug for hosting and setting everything up again this year. This GTG wouldn't be possible if you didn't do the legwork to make it happen.

    I was alittle dissappointed that we did have quite a few bailers at the last minute but it was still a great time. The rain was rough on Friday night and my tent fell over and turned into a dang raft.

    Waited about 2 hours for the rain to pass before elk and I put it back up.

    Everyone shot well and I have some pics i will upload later...

    Congrats to GERM as he was the shooting champion this year!

    Well we are home safe and sound. Thanks for all the hard worl Doug and Dave for setting up the course.

    I had a great time, listening to Dave rag on Rob about his Rasberry Beer was the highlight of the weekend.

    619.99 for a new awning, nothing good ever happens in Ohio:) Cloudy and rainy all through Ohio, we got to MI and the sun came out!!!

    Do you have INSURANCE??? Might be worth a shot, unless your deductible is $500, then you're eating $620 plus tax....:mad:

    Raspberry Beer??? :rock:
