Live from the Central Pa GTG

As expected, a great time was had by all.


I am disappointed that conditions here precluded us from visiting yet again.


But was very happy to have Backwoods Savage and T.Jeff Veal and Miz Carol visit our place.


The membership here is top notch, awesome folk with a true and proper mindset.

Ok.. Aside from myself, eatonpcat, and brenndatomu


It has been a pleasure to meet and spend time with so many great people.

Looking forward to many more GTG's.. even if flying solo.

 

I'm going to load up a bunch of pics that my wife took while she was there, I'll try to narrate them some too, not sure I'll get that done tonight before running out of time and the edit option goes away...but I'll guess we'll walk through that issue if needed.

Their trout pond.

The residents...there were some nice size fish in there! The property caretakers got us a can of fish food (kibble) for the kids to throw to the fish...once they know you have fish treats, they follow you around the shore like puppy dogs!

We tried to get a pic of bigfoot, but no dice...although we did catch a pic of an ultra rare Allegany Alligator right before he slipped into the water.

The outdoor kitchen...works really we for an FHC GTG!

The pavilion right across the driveway from the kitchen.

Stream in front of the main cabin...you can see their woodshed, outdoor kitchen, and pavilion in the background there.

Play area for the kids.

Another cabin on the property...I think they call it the trap house...between this, the kitchen, and the skeet shooting range (our processing area, and camp area) these areas were our hang out area mostly...well, and the shooting range for some.

Taking down another pine in the area where the club plans to build a multi-purpose building in the next few years. If you look closely they have a line on the tree to pull out out into the clearing (to the right)

Scotty limbing trees in the clearing.
More to come...

 

Perfect!

I don't know what to say except "AMAZING"? Look at that picture of the gun range = spotless!!!
Wow what a place ; this is truly a sportsman dream.

This place looks beautiful, what a great turnout and the hospitality crew did an amazing job. Hats off gang.
See you next year!

 

I know most of these...


Starting at the left, 2 kids are Keith's (psuiewalsh from OPE), can't remember his daughter's name but Adam has the hat on. In between them is Owen Beecher. Then in the red shirt and beside in the hat are Steve (SBK1980 ) and Tanya Beecher, Tim (TurboDiesel ) wife and pooch, then Dave (brenndatomu ) and Brian (eatonpcat ) in the red hat. Just to the right of him is Kirk (not sure if he's on a forum) then Dave (definitive dave on OPE). Right behind him is Keith (psuiewalsh on OPE). Dave's wife Chrissy is standing to the left of Monte. Beside/behind her is Dave (WeldrDave ), then Monte is holding the sign (MAF143 ). I am behind him to the right (Jason - The Wood Wolverine), behind/beside me is Dennis (Backwoods Savage ). Next is T.Jeff in the yellow shirt (T.Jeff Veal ) with Miss Carol in from of him. Duane is to the right (Duane(Pa) ). Behind him is Charlie, Dennis son. Next 2 are Robin and Walt (walt ). Behind Walt is John (41FanForLife on OPE). Next one in the black shirt is Rodney's cousin Talon, and then Rodney (Leadfarmer ). Then Ryan (Mrxlh ), Mike (Glock37 ), Scott (Scotty Overkill ), Dan (PA Dan ), Mike (mike bayerl ), Nate (NateSaw on OPE) and the next one I'm unsure (in the red/orange shirt) and last but not least is Kaleb and Joe (blacksmith ).
If I screwed up, please let us know.

 

The woman just in front of WeldrDave is Mrs WeldrDave, Chrissy.

 

What a bunch!

A lot of names to remember and put to faces.
Now everybody has some homework to do.

Thanks for the pictures!

 

Owen Beecher is second from left.

 

Rodney’s cousin is next to me, his name is Talon.

 

Thank you for the pictures and for the names. While I couldn't be there in person, I really do enjoy the pictures and any stories that go along with them. And yes, that pizza sure did look tempting.
That sure was a fantastic location to hold the event. Did you have camps or tents to stay in? Must of had real toilets there.

 

Thanks y'all. We're down to one unknown... I'm pretty sure it's Rusty Spurs as I remember he made the turkey call. Not sure on forum name.
9) Hand made turkey box call with FHC and turkey tracks burnt into it from Rusty Spurs (FHC).
