    I can't. I've had two surgeries this year. The last one was on my neck a few weeks ago and I've just got my swivel and elevation back. Besides, my hongs are getting their annual laundry and I haven't finished chipping the solid stuff off of them with the hammer and chisel.

    Our new location: http://www.attheridge.com/index.htm

    Address: He said it's best though to go to 25 Parkway Rd. Rosman, NC and then drive 9.2 miles up to the campground on Parkway Rd. If you plug in the campground address to your GPS it will take you on some out of the way dirt forest roads. If coming from the north you can hit the north end of Parkway road (look at map on link) and go about 8.5 miles.

    Who's coming

    Natertot+3
    Intothenew+ varmints
    Crash
    Kyratshooter
    Hunter63+1
    Roar-k+1
    Woodsman86+3

    Saturday Evening Meal

    Crash - spicy veggie wad
    Woodsman86 - dessert
    H63 - potato salad
    Natertot - mac & cheese

    *****************************************

    Just finished loading up - out of here early too. Looks like Mrs. Crash won't be making it this year......but I'm still working on it. Not sure where I'll end up tomorrow night - depends on what I find along the way. See y'all there.

    Glad to hear people are making the trip ok.

    Just a heads up about waterfalls, lots of slickness and loose ground this year as it has been really wet. Guy that worked for a friend in his repair shop went over one this week in Pisgah Forest and died. Please be careful.

    Well, the 5th Annual Jamboree is in the record books........Hunter63, Mrs. Hunter, and Maggie Mae "survived" and made it back to the hotel in Hendersonville, NC, for showers a little rest before heading back out for home in the morning.

    I will venture to say everyone had a good time, mixed weather, kinda nipply at nite, foggy and damp at nite mostly.

    Crash took a bunch of pic's....lot of leaves changing, and a lot of bear hunting dogs baying as well.

    Hope all make it home safely.

    Time for a shower.

    Hope everyone has a safe trip home. It was nice to meet everyone who came.

    The family had an absolute blast yesterday and looking forward to next year. I will try to get some of the photos my wife took uploaded in the next few days.

    There are even some good fishing stories to talk about

    Glad to see everyone making it home safe and sound. I'm glad you folks had a great time and everyone was safe. The Old F.A.R.T.S. that were still here talked about the possibility of a SAR expedition but we never got past the bacon and coffee. Someone got the map out once but we found some Danish (the pastry not the people) and that's the last I saw of the map.

    That's great! I look forward to the pics and report. Sorry I missed it.
    Oh and for the record, as I.F.A.R.T.E.D I feel obliged to say the map was lost under Bacon grease and coffee stains, then there were the crumbs from the Danish(the pastry not the people) and Rick mentioned something about flotation Hongs and I got myself out of there PDQ. I don't care that it's new SAR equipment, I'm too young for that kind of memory.

    There was bacon grease on the map!? I thought that last piece of bacon was pretty large and tasted a bit funny. Well, at least it should be efficient upon exit.

    Since the Jamboree has come and gone, I've unstuck this thread.

    H63 - did Maggie Mae growl when you got near her food? Sorry that the restaurants were that bad.
