    Not sure yet who all will be showing up thursday. I know that InDaWoods will be for sure along with my brother-in-law. We are planning a fish fry for that evening.

    I live less than :30 away so would not be staying the night, but would like to swing by to put a few down around the fire Friday night with ya'll. You mentioned a "guest issue" above. Does the campgound need a list of guests who are visiting in advance?

    Back in the early 90's I was an auto mechanic/tow truck driver. There was a couple of years in the Spring where I got the luxury of going out to that campground to pull out some of the trailers and vehicles that were buried in mud. I have not been there since.

    They have guest passes. Think they are $2-3 per person. We ran into the problem of them not letting people in after the office closed. I will take care of that before the event.

    Hello fellow William Tells!

    My first year to this shooting the "apple off the head" extravaganza. Looking forward to talking around the campfire with a bunch of bow and hunting freaks!

    That's awesome! Glad to hear it! See you in just over 2 months! All the locals will probably get a few practice shoots organized before then so I will keep you posted.

    Won't need it friday night. InDaWoods is making his famous sammiches. We cook those over the open firepit. If you are free thursday night come by and visit. I am arriving wednesday and a few others are coming thursday. We are planning a fish fry thursday night for dinner!

    Just spoke with the campground and so far only 4 people have called to get put on the list. I know we have plenty of time still but make sure that you do this so they have an idea how many people will be attending. I think what we will probably do is extend the camping into the field to the west a bit as well as park the majority of the vehicles in that field so we have plenty of room for the tents and shooting area!
