Harold pulled me through with his gator while I was slinging mud from all four corners.

I live about 35 mins from Hidden Hollow. We've had tons of rain over recent weeks and May rainfall is way ahead of average. The ground is SATURATED, so much so that many with lawn tractor mowers are leaving them in the shed because of making ruts, and are using small walk behind mowers for their lawns. Showers are predicted today, and the app currently shows thundershowers on Saturday and some scattered rain on Monday thru Wednesday but sunny and dry on Thursday thru Saturday. Woohoo!

Anyone planning to bring a heavy wheeled camper, big trailer or such might want to check out the parking field and particularly its far reaches before driving in. JMO.

Gary I think you will enjoy Ernie's. Next year shouldn't have the scheduling problems this year has. See you there.

Edgarf enjoy that extra rib this time, next year I'll bring my appetite :biglaugh:

Yes Dean, Got tired of not being able to go a lot of places except luxury parks, National Parks are much more fun and beautiful you tear a lot of stuff off the top when you are 13' 4" high trying to get into a lot of Parks, I have a 30' airstream classic, simple to operate and can get into 95% of places, pulling it with a Chevy 2500 Duramax Allison but it will get stuck in the mud! Is there any place at Haussmans that is gravel? Gary

Yep, Harold and his JD Gator were like the Lone XXXXXr last year.

Well, my clock came today. And it was damaged. Son of a bitch!
This chit never ends!

Gary,

Call Ernie by phone. Darryl Middlebrook used to park his much closer to the center of activities right across from Ernie's house. I'll bet he will reserve a place for yours.

Yup, Daryl never parked in the big field. He parked in the exhibitor's area. However, your rig might be longer than Daryl's motor home. Contact Ernie.

You never know in Rochester...

A few pictures of the after-shoot ribs & beer
 

Daryl being sung to sleep by Harold.
Mike Smith rewarding himself for .410 clay crushing.
Chuck sentenced to 15 minutes of Time-Out for punctuation errors.
Brett considering trading in a school bus, for a golf cart.
The Early bird special.
The usual no shows of those in attendance but otherwise engaged, and the ones who really got to enjoy Ribs, beer, and Larry Frey's Kielbasa.
There were enough ribs for about 25 people, due in part to the absence of Rich Anderson.
