A slight postponement wouldn't bother me either. Better chance for nice weather, plus I've seen that driveway and you need a good traction vehicle to get up it in the best of circumstances!
I was offered a chance to hook up with some old old friends I hadn't seen in 20 years that weekend and had to reluctantly blow it off as I would rather hang out with y'all. A postponement would allow me to do both.

Actually, I was reminded of our annual croquet match with the Naval Academy being on the 18th this year. Since I am part and parcel to our team I have to be there, and would have to bow out of the WV weekend if we decide on that weekend. The 24th-26th is now my only date.

Make it the 24th - 25th. Maybe most of the snow will be gone then and a little warmer also. Steve

Roof, it's about 2 1/2 hours from mt airy, a little less for you.
Randy, Every one is best with the 24-26, so I think we will go with that, Joe.

Update,my cousin and I took a trip to the farm Sat and Sun, it was beautiful up there. I had to clean two inches of snow off my truck so I was expecting snow up there. Not a speck, not in the shadows, no piles from plows. It's GONE, I hope that's it for this year, Joe.

I didn't even try to register. There were a bunch of guns I liked that went way under projection, Joe.

I don't have a wife to leave behind. My GF said she didn't want to intrude on a bunch of guys walking around in their underwear scratching themselves, farting, and belching last night's beer.

My GF said she didn't want to intrude on a bunch of guys walking around in their underwear scratching themselves, farting, and belching last night's beer. Probably a wise decision. Some things that go on at camp need to stay at camp. I'd never bring my wife to deer camp. If for no other reason she doesn't need to see the guy that's passed out in the piss hole. There's always at least one.

Hunting, shooting, fishing, camping, etc. was always a refuge from the cares of everyday life for me, to include relationships with women. Now and then there was one who dabbled in outdoor pursuits for whom I included in a few activities out of respect and a wish to maintain peace. But, a guy needs a break now and again- know what I mean? (On the other hand I have no clue what it's like to have spent decades being intimate with just one woman. I subscribe to the philosophy that variety is the spice of life- in guns, women, cars, and beer! You can't say I've lead a boring life!)

I use to be the one that was passed out in some pi$$ hole. That is until I met my wife. She's the reason I'm not laying in some ditch now. Got me on the right track!! Hope you guys have fun. I'll take the week off and do a bunch of shooting out back, save a pile of money on gas,food and motel bills. Plus being with my better half.

Steve, I'm gonna miss not meeting you in person, and we're not as bad as it sounds. In the 45 years we have had the farm no one has ever passed out in any holes. Two other guys had shown some interest, when I first made the offer, that would have brought their wives, but I haven't heard from them since. It is pretty much a guys gettaway. My wife has only been up there twice, once last year. She says if I build a cabin she'll start coming up. Maybe I can get down your way and shoot with you, Joe.
