The next morning the truck got it’s second load…

It don’t look like much but they are some stuff I did not want to leave out overnight outside the lodge.
The weather was holding on warm and humid with a good breeze and the drive was again pleasant out to the site.

I ended up taking a load back the next day to make room for my roll away bed after a night of trying to sleep on the ground…
I was not thinking about how hard the ground would be…

At any rate, the weekend went well and we all had a pretty good time.
There were a few new faces in camp, Greg and Sarah from the Owl’s Nest in prentice, along with his dad Ron had their first rendezvous, as did my son-in-law Rob and his son Dominic.

New campers relax

Rob and Dom

Rose Sutton was there and won the camp cook off competition with a blackbean chicken chili..

New campers slept in the open

There were others but I am really bad with names (sorry).. I had notes written to finish this narrative but they were lost in a power outage yesterday.

Here are over a hundred pictures taken by Watchingwolf of the competitions and camps…
