In Ben's defense, he baled off the bike because he didn't know where the breaks were and he was coming up on the pack of other racers too fast.( so he says)
I wont soon forgets those images either.
It was great to see everyone again, and meet some great new members

That was the right thing to do but if you don't mind I'm sticking with the story that you lost control and flipped it.  Makes me laugh even now!!.  HAHA ;D ;D

whatever floats your boat tim.  I still had fun and to be honest this past weekend prob ranks number 1 on my best weekends ever with friends and that includes all the hunts all the rondys and other get togethers we had.  I had a blast and it shows what the ppha is about.  thanks again for those involved including those that showed up and participated.

You got that right!!  Word is getting out slowly but surely how much fun we have at these events.  I finally got a count and we had 27 people at this event.  That is actually double from last year.  The first two were in district 4 so we will try to have it next year in district two.  Im hoping we can add another ten or so people by then.  Its gonna be tough to beat Buttonwood Campground though.

yep.  buttonwood campground was prob one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever been to if not the best campground I have been to.  there is plenty to do there for anyone of any age.  I'll def be at next years no matter where it is.   8)

Anita and I have both stayed at many campgrounds in our separate lives, but on the way home all we talked about was the weekend and the Buttonwood camp. I would'nt mind if it was there next year. Kudoes

Hokey Smokes what a great weekend.
Thanks to Tim and DJ for setting up this event.
I took one of our grandsons along and he had a blast. Thanks Ernie for taking Jordon fishing in your canoe. Thanks Tom P. for rigging Jordon's rod for tube bait and showing him some knots. BigBen, thanks for clean'n Jordon's catfish.
Tim, Ernie and Nathan caught 2, x-large rattlers and brought them back to camp. My hat is off to these guys for a successful hunt and handling mean hombre snakes.
I think the hillbilly award went to Ben when he fillet catfish on the hood of his Bronco. That's some real hillbilly chit there.
Some things to eat at camp this weekend....Bacon, Eggs, hashbrowns, Ben's Smoked Chicken, Clams, Burgers, Itaian Sausage, Venison sticks, Venison Summer Sausage, Fresh Cut French Fries, Homemade Ice Cream and am sure I missed a few goodies.
It was good to see you yahoo's again and a pleasure to meet you new folks. Let's do it again!
