I was planning on bringing my boat and some fire wood on saturday, but I won't be able to make it. A good friend of mine invited me to his wedding that day...snake hunt sounds like fun

Glad you got it fixed Ben.  Sorry for putting my big but in it and making a hole for you.

I will be putting an e-mail out within the next day or two with details for the weekend.  Of course if there are any questions just shoot DJ or I a PM.  Thanks...........Tim

no prob.  I don't know how good the fix is.  but I doubt I will be draggin over rocks too much anymore.  gonna have to get out and ford it over because I think the plastic I welded it with is softer then the original stuff.  all I know is it held for two hours yesterday.

Ok here is the website for the campground we are staying at,  https://buttonwoodcamp.com/  You can get phone number and directions from this site.  My cell number is 717-649-6822.  Call me if you have any problems or questions or get lost.  Check in is 1:00 pm on Friday and check out is 1:00 pm on Sunday.

All the sites are reserved under my name.  When you get there stop at the office (red barn) and tell them you are with the Tim Deckard group of campers.  Bring your own camping, fishing, hiking, swimming gear and anything else you can think of.  The PPHA will be providing the drinks (non alcoholic) and food.  If you need any special foods you will have to provide your own.  You can also provide your own alcohol if you want.  Please remember this is a family event so we need to keep things in check some what.

I am bringing a canoe and two kayaks that anyone can borrow.  If you have your own and can bring them feel free.

The only thing we really need from others is some firewood and a fire grate to cook on.  If anyone can and wants to bring a grill, griddle or cook stove then thats fine.  We have but im sure a few more would be better.  Here is some of the food items that we are bringing so you know if you don't like you can bring something else.

Chicken, Eggs, Cereal, Hash Browns, Bacon, Breakfast Sausage
Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Sausages (Hot and Mild)
French Fries, Coffee, Bake Potatoes, Smore's, Watermellon
Chicken Wings, Clams, Milk, various drinks (soda, water and tea)
Wild Turkey Breast, Chips and Pretzels

I think we have around 22 people camping the whole weekend and anywhere fro 5 to 10 people coming to visit on Saturday.  The main goal is to have as much fun as possible and stay safe.  See you all at the campground.........Tim

wow what a weekend.  Came home and crashed for a 5 hr nap and still need some more sleep to catch up.  Thanks to tim and dj for making this happen.  anyone that missed this weekend missed a heck of a good time.

Ben, Thanks for all the great laughs (mud puddles, bounce pad, peddle cart).  I havn't laughed that hard in a while.  Hope your OK.

I will post pics of the event when I get caught up.
