    I don't own an RV. I wish I did!! Lol

    I enjoy tent camping. And if you're OK with that, I'll be fine staying in a tent at your place.....

    Next weekend, for my son's scout troop and their Klondike Derby, we're gonna make a real Teepee and stay in it for the night to get points for Igloo Camp. Gonna build a real fire in it for heat too. Stay tuned....

    The only date I've seen in this thread is April 23-24.

    Has April 23-24 been finalized yet???

    If that's the date; I probably won't be there, as I'm planning on running my dog in a hunt test that weekend.

    It may be a good thing that I don't show.................my birthday is April 27..........................I wouldn't want to see what y'all would have planned for me!!

    It would certainly help to clear out some of the trees dead from drought and reduce wildfires. AND, we could visit with relatives. Anywhere near sac?

    No, it has not been finalized yet but it appears most want it on that date. Sorry, but I could not like your thread. Sure have been hoping you could come Whitey.

    This is cool. I'm not sure I would be up for the 9 + hour drive though. Would be a great motorcycle ride if it was a little warmer.

    I am going to try to make it up for the GTG if possible. It would be a shame to miss it since you are only an hour drive from me. Haven't been on the site much as of late-- also haven't started cutting yet this year. Life has been very busy. It would be great to slow down a little bit and meet you guys. Maybe learn a thing or two along the way.

    For sure it would be a shame if you couldn't come Frank. Looking forward to this one!

    Sound good HD. I was hoping you'd bring your splitter! Yes, we can use the trailer too.

    I grew up in your neck of the woods. Been to the Showboat City many times. I used to do a lot of fishing in the Bad and Shiawasse Rivers just north of you. Good hunting and fishing up there.

    Then you should feel right at home here! We're closer to the Bad river than the Shiawasse river.

    I was up that way last summer for QDMA habitat event. Probably was within 5 minutes of your house! Small world.
