Without a doubt this was the best Appleseed event ever! Yes, thanks is due to Smoak and his friends, the Gwins. Also kudos to Cable__guy for outstanding dinner. Huzzah!

Thank you Glen for setting this up. Saturday was a blast. I will make sure I will never make a promise to anywhere else when we do this again. I find it hard to believe that some of the cadre missed this event to go "golfing".

Todd, mi fren', fantastic dinner Sir.

To the rest of the cadre, if you missed this you missed a lot.........

Shakin' off the dust...

Life has a way of distracting us from important things.  I am thankful that I got out and connected with some of the best people I've ever known. 

Glen, thanks for the gift I didn't know I needed.

Even though I said, "I can do that challenge in 2 cartridges", the prize goes to Roy who confirmed it with 2 in a row (standing, iron sights, no-sling, 2 rounds on the headshot).  In my defense I was still sighting in...I guess that is excuse #51 in the Appleseed book of excuses (which is completely blank).

Kudos to Jean who not only smacked the 100 and 200 with a .22lr (and the 75 yard silhouette with her pistol) but had another first of using Joe's 6.5 Creedmoor laser to smack the 400 first round.  Almost cheating!

-Pete

ps.  Thanks Todd...as an older man your sloppy joes and beef stroganoff allowed me to get home and collapse into bed by 8:30...

I second the "more often" assertion. Man, is that place a little slice of Heaven. Even for thems that do not shoot it would be a blast. Hadn't camped in a tent in more years than I can recall. The Gwinn's are so generous to share their bounty with us. Would love to do something in return. Smoak - see if we can arrange a work day when Justin has a project?

Cable_Guy and TheMenace made us all comfortable as always - bless you both. Great people, great food, great time.

To all the folks who showed up, thanks for making the trip. One of the things that drew me into appleseed was the people. Events like this do wonders for the spirit. I still believe you meet the best people at appleseed.
To you folks that skipped it, I'm sorry you missed it. Every now and then, we need to rekindle those bonds and just get away from the hustle of life. We'll do this again, I expect more of you to show up.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
