    Good morning all. Sorry I haven't been on the forum much at all but these guys and gals keep me busy! Having a great time and the GTG hasn't even officially stated. People should start pouring in soon but we've already had a great bunch. Methinks many stayed up to party last night but my old body couldn't take it as I had to doctor my back rather than party.

    Officially we had a high temperature of 48 yesterday and 37 this morning. Tonight a threat of frost but 59 is forecast for the daytime.

    One of the biggest news is all the water and mud. It looked like a mud bog for a time yesterday. Some logs that were cut won't get out until the water recedes so I'll probably be doing that come June or July. We'll be hitting a couple other areas today.

    Now I have to get around and go out to the fire pit. Been there once already so I know there are a few lively souls out there and I think someone else was pulling in as I came back in the house.
