On a side note you drove home right past my place, probably saw the rock cut state park exit on the way back north. Yep. I think my IPass recharged on this trip.

I'll have to disconnect the PC Tuesday PM so I'll be off-line for 4/5 days. We can't move the furniture back in for at least 2 days after they've put the final finish coats on.

Missy, Scott, Dusty, Eileen and Kenna were at camp by Friday evening. We already had quite a collection of toys in the yard... Then Tom and Jack showed up on Saturday. After Tom and Jack showed up we saw a lot of this: Saturday was also a big work day. We had a crew putting together a new set of bunk beds inside the cabin: Me and Kenna were outside working on soffit and fascia.

We're thinking it must have been a kill that was drug into the area by another animal because it really makes no sense for a beaver to be in that area on purpose. With a lot of projects complete or near completion we put a chicken on the grill and took off from the cabin on a big trail ride. Something clever here.

Did you complete the soffit and fascia?That's a time consuming job. Stan in SC The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa. 45/70,it's almost a religion. If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

Another content bystander that threw the chain off his little dirt bike about 30 times on that ride. A goofball on too small of a bike. A trailside repair (chain tightening) [img]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/album%202/IMG_7017.jpg[/img] Something clever here.

And with the help of my amigos, we got it finished. Pretty good weekend. It was great to see everybody, a big thanks from me, Pam and the kids for all the great company that traveled up to see us. Something clever here.

Lauren and I went goose hunting for the first time and even though the geese hadnt been using our field, we got one flock to kinda come in and I shot the first goose of the season. The ice is broken boys, let the good times commence! What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

We took our wheelers to the carwash when we got home. Mine didn't need it so much, but his was a different story. Those are really great pictures. Can't wait to get back up there again. I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

That muck was weird. I love it there too and I'm always grateful when I get to come up. I plan on heading back up again before deer season starts. I'll try to remember to dump the pics I have from the work on the shooting lanes. Nate earned his keep for sure! Camp is where you make it.

I put myself in for the late trapping option. Something clever here.
