OK... to date, I 've no clue who's coming to stay or who to shoot. Gary (ranger58) would have who's staying at the cabin adn GDS might know who all is coming to hunt/shoot.

For the meals, here is what I have:

Friday Evening meal

Linc
Hackbow & Son
Snakeater & Daughter
FrankB


Saturday Breakfast
Ranger58
Doc Nock
Linc
Hackbow & Son
Snakeater & Daughter
FrankB
Peckerwood & Son
GDS

If anyone else wants in, here's the deal:

FridayNite
Spaghetti Dinner and applesauce
Saturday Breakfast
Eggs, Scrapple, Coffee (maybe taters if there's help)    :)  

Both meals will be made available at "cost" (divide up what it cost by them what's eating)BUT--- you've got to email me directly to let me know so's we buy enough grub!!!    :)    Thanks!

Some others are bringing some things to throw in the lot, so we'll add in their costs

Bring your own drinks, lunches, and BYODM (bring your own dead meat) for the Saturday night "feast" or Potluck or whatever you'd call it.

Email me for Friday evening dinner or Sat. breakfast, please!!!  

Thanks,

Doc Nock

Of course, now they tell us that come this weekend, it's to hit like ZERO degrees and stay in the freezer for 2 weeks...(which takes us to the GPSH weekend) might make them rats a bit hesitant to frisk about.

I know being up Central PA (Centre and Huntingdon) area this past weekend, it was a MESS! Poles down, trees down, woods full of busted tree tops..floods! I didn't see hardly any creatures anywhere for 3 days of pokin about... was a winter wonderland, though!

Guys, I apologize for not emailing returns.
I got hit again with another flood on thurs and Fri. I lost most camping gear in the 1st flood and then last week I awoke to my 2 remaining sleeping bags laying in another floded basement. I've washed them several times and the filling is coming out...

I still plan on attending Fri (pm arrival) and Saturday- (noon departure)  I will be bringing some homemade soup and brownies.

I will also have my son Jared tagging along. He's soon to be 15.

Finally getting back to normal around here...

Temps are supposed to drop down into the teens this weekend.  Not sure what to bring... winter or summer gear.  :)

We will all get together at 8AM on Saturday morning at the picnic pavilion behind the park office to start Saturday's hunt.  It's easy to find, and spacious with plenty of parking.  A good spot to call home for the day.  We can have lunch there as well.  For those never at the park, there are two entrances; US Rt. 30, and State Rt. 96.  The office is right along Rt. 96.  Entering the park from the Rt. 96 side, you would go past the office and make the first right, and the picnic area is only about 1/4 mile on the left.  If you come in from the Rt. 30 side, go to the T and make a right.  Follow that road and cross both bridges...then as you reach the top of the hill after the second bridge, you will bear left on that same road that takes you to the picnic area.  It's about two miles through the park from the Rt. 30 side to the office.  If you come in Rt. 30 from the West, you can make a right a the light in Schellsburg onto Rt. 96, and go about two miles to the park entrance on that side.  All but about 200 acres of the 4000 acre park is open to hunting, so there are plenty of spaces.  Lots of oak with white oaks predominate.  And, they bore very well this past year.  Gettin' anxious now 8^).   I'm going to round up some prizes for various reasons...to be a surprise.  It'll be fun.  George

boys, I guess those of you coming for breakfast best be there by 6:30.  I might need some help getting stuff ready... most might already be staying there, but if anyone else is interested, email me for Breakfast.

George, I'm counting on your presence to bless our mess!  :)
