Well, hats off to all the attendees that stuck it out at this event.  I have been running events most every month for about half a decade and this had to be probably the most miserable conditions so far.  Not the coldest, not the wettest, but over-all the most miserable, combining freezing or near freezing temps, a bit of snow and a good bit of sleet/rain, a fair bit of wind at times... and then on top of that about 4-6 inches of clay mud that found its way onto and into just about everything.  With a little prep, and a lot of scrounging we managed to tarp off enough of the area, the firing line and a path to the target line on Sunday to keep the mud if not concurred, at least at bay.  The notion of a "Mudseed" event was spoken more than once...

We managed to requal 1 Rifleman, Jeff with a 211.  Congrats! 

We also turned out 1 PA First Rifle, Sam Jr.  Congrats to you as well! 

Phil uploaded his album for y'all to see.  Thank you Phil for the pics!

I'll post the few I have as well below. 

Thank you all for coming out!  I hope to see you again... under dryer conditions I hope! :) 

And a big thank you to a fantastic instructor crew (AppleseedPhil, crouthamela, navionpa, Roverace) who found a way to overcome the obsolesces thrown before us, and still pull off a safe, fun and informative event.  You guys rock! 

Last but not least, thank you Kevin for helping out to the very end.  We owe ya.
