    Made it home about 1 pm. I had a great time hanging out with you guys, and it was a really neat place to stay. Thanks Adam

    Made a couple stops on the way home, but finally got home a little before 5...mostly unloaded now...I need a nap! :sleeping:
    Thanks to Adam n crew for setting this all up, for the hours that Kevin and Dwight put in the meals, and Brad for donating his expertise and use of equipment to the center/our GTG. I'm sure that helped grease the wheels for the invitation back next year already! :thumbs: :handshake:

    Thank you for hosting such a fine event!!!! Anytime we get a chance to help out at risk kids I’m there! Even if it was just supporting the real heros by sprucing up the property a little. The staff at the center there are top notch in my book. It really was my pleasure to be a small part of the work they are doing there.

    I was a little too busy to take much in the way of :ithappened:
    after the first day but I found the s’mores stash in the mess hall:whistle: IMG_6849.jpeg

    I also found an excellent pitch mass borer larvae specimen on the side of a failing blue spruce IMG_6845.jpeg IMG_6844.jpeg

    Thanks to Jeff and Miz Carol for the incredibly generous raffle gift that I was fortunate enough to win. Looks good next to its big Brother!
