Happy New Year to you too Stan. And everyone else.

It is kind of wierd how a thread of a deer camp in norhtern MN can bring people together...as friends at that.

I don't know how or why but this thread makes me happier than I was before it existed.

I went throgh a real real rough 2008, some of it known to you guys, and most of it not. For some crazy reason...I checked this almost every day, and it brought some type of joy to me when I didn't have much.

For that, I thank Dave and his family. Though he would never ask for it, or even think it should be recognized, and will probably be a little emabarassed when he reads it, he deserves a thank you.


Camp is where you make it.
