    Sparky if you need a way there give Poco and I a call. We are like 7 miles from either city. We do all of our shopping in Glasgow but we can get you. PM me if you need the number.

    I got my vacation changed so I am good to go. Right now the boys are outside with Mel making fire with a magnifying glass and the sun. Robbie has been practicing with his fire bow.

    I am glad that my boys love the outdoors. Robbie just made fire with the magnifying glass and so did Bret. My boys are growing up.

    Don't laugh unless you have kids!

    My two covered my eyeglasses with shaving cream while I was napping and then yelled FIRE!

    Oh for the good old days. My daughter now has a boy the same age she was when she pulled that stunt.

    Equus - I edited your post to remove your phone number and swap it out for a PM request if Sparky needs it. You can change it back if you like, but IMO that info on an open forum could be used for nefarious purposes.

    OK, OK - I just wanted to use the word nefarious in a sentence.

    That is something that my boys would do if they thought of it. Glad that they can't read real good yet. I have to stay one step ahead of them including dad because they come up with some off the wall stuff to do. My biggest fear is them trying to do this when Poco isn't paying attention.

    It is awesome mom come look is what my youngest said to me. Screaming at me we Made Fire!!!!!! LOL

    Don't be surprised if my boys want to help with the fire making at the Jamboree now!!!! LOL

    The boys did a Mosquito smoke out today. For about 10 minutes all they had was smoking grass(The kind in the yard, NOT the funny kind!) They were so proud I HAD to find the camera....Which was NOT where it was supposed to be. So after @ 10 minutes searching for it, I FINALLY Found it!

    The video is kinda' long about 15 minutes of huffing and puffing and piling on more grass. Finally though they had fire. They would NOT stop until they had fire.

    Lessons learned.... Be sure to do this WITH A FIRE PLACE! I THOUGHT we could get some grass smoldering, they'd see the glowing ember and that would be that, stomp it out and go on to something else. WRONG! Now we have a burned spot in the grass in the yard. Oh well, it will grow back....probably thicker there.

    I'll post it in Gen. Chat, so as to not FURTHER hijack this thread, and provide a link to it here.....Once it is uploaded to YouTube. I was surprised actually, the Magnifying Glass was just a $1 el cheapo keychain type.

    If anyone sleeps in late and you wake up to a hot spot on your rump it's just the boys making fire. The giggles are free.

    The boys are getting big, soon they'll be the one's getting up early to make the biscuits and putting on the coffee. Or, do they do that already, because that would work out great at the jamboree.

    Phil - If you are keeping track for any reason I just rented #2 next to you.

    If you have your CCW permit then you can check here to see if Kentucky honors it.

    When I first posted this I thought I would get a few comments, it's a play on words for a famous advertisement for an expedition. Does anyone know who wrote the original? "Boots In The Field" that's Sourdough.

    OK now I'm confused.... I thought it was a GROUP campsite, and the whole campsite was already covered?

    Yes, these are group campsites and we currently have plenty of room for the people that are coming to camp. Each site allows 24 people to camp. By having a few sites we give ourselves plenty of room to spread out. The sites are not too expensive so reserving a little extra room now ensures us the space we may need as more people decide to attend in the future.

    So now we have enough room theoretically for 72 people?

    Yes, but the combination of the three sites will not hold 72 individual tents. So, Right now I'm figuring on six maybe eight tents per site. The number of people staying at each site will depend on how many people per tent. If you're able to get over to the campground and check it out for me, we'll have a more precise idea of how many tents we can put up. Right now with three sites, we have a lot of room.
