Leaving at 830am. See you all around noonish!!!

Not sure. I would bring it. Jackson will be selling stuff out of the kitchen. I'd bet they will have bottled water.

Osagetree · February 17, 2011, 08:48:00 PM

We wont be there until evening and I guess we wont be camping due to the wife's chest cold. We'll either drive back home or stay in a hotel. I only live about an hour away.

Finished this one off today for the hunt, I named it "Rabbit Hole".

Now that my friend is an AWESOME looking selfbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd love to stretch the string once or twice if you dont mind?

Osagetree · February 17, 2011, 09:01:00 PM

Anybody have a physical address to use with a GPS? I have the directions but love to hear Rita(my GPS) talk to me.

Leatherneck,

Heydeerman has lat/long coodinates posted on the GORH page, but here they are if they make sense to you!!:

+39 2'32.28",-82 40'27.48"

heydeerman · February 18, 2011, 06:46:00 AM

Joseph your enthusiasm and the work you have done is very appreciated. Thank you very much for making all these bows.

For GPS coordinates go to the 2011 page and quick on the Directions To GORH link and a google map will come up where you can enter your address and get driving directions and the coordinates are posted right there. When I get there this morning I will take the coordinates off my gps and post them on the GORH facebook page. I might be able to post them here to but not sure if I can from my blackberry. I can't remember my password here. You can get to the GORH facebook page from the GORH website. If there is wireless I can access down there I'll be hooked up.

I'll be there Saturday morning to set up camp. I was looking forward to meeting up Matt. Sorry you can't make it.

Well, only a few hours left, before the drive begins...
Scene from last night:
I was opening my storage box labeled "Tipis 8+16 man" and:
Where the f... is my 8 man Kifaru tipi? It was gone!
Well,I forgot that my elk hunting buddies were lending it for their hunt last september and I haven't picked it up at their place last time I've been up. Duhhh!!!
My 16 man is too big to bring out for just one or 2 days, if it gets wet it is a pain in the .... to dry it out for storage in my current living setup.
Solution: I will get to Wally World and see what they'll have...Their cheap tents have surprisingly good online reviews.
I hate it when such stupid things happen....but if it is only that...

heydeerman · February 18, 2011, 09:49:00 PM

There's a few camping down here right now. Spent the evening shooting for $1 in the indoor range. Gonna hit the hey, gotta be there early tomorrow.

bowmofo · February 19, 2011, 06:49:00 PM

I'm a little too under the weather to attend "[dntthnk]"

hope everyone is having a great time!

bowmofo · February 20, 2011, 09:04:00 AM

I'm hoping someone is going to post lots of pictures!

GingivitisKahn · February 20, 2011, 01:51:00 PM

We missed you there, Mike! Dylan and I were only able to be there for about half a day yesterday but had a blast.

Here are a few pics to whet your appetite.

There was some breeze shooting in the camping area...

We searched for rabbits in the creek bottom...

... and found one VERY fast one up in the brush. My son and Rob's grandson (in the distance) each got a shot at him thanks to some very hard work by Rob's dog Jake but no one connected...

bowmofo · February 20, 2011, 07:00:00 PM

I see Mark C, Rob(old school)Is that Dylan in the first pick? He grew some! any more picts?

longbowben · February 20, 2011, 07:18:00 PM

Wow had a great time and meet some great trad friends.Lets post more pictures.

leatherneck · February 20, 2011, 07:37:00 PM

It really was a good weekend with some great fellowship. The bunnies didn't cooperate but what game animal does? I have some pics but I'm a little tired. I'll post some in the morning.

I do want to thank Jim(heydeerman) for all his hard work in getting this together. Also his wife cause I'm sure she worked her butt off as well. One more thanks to Jackson Bowhunters Club for allowing us to use their facilities for the weekend. They have a sweet set-up folks.
