More Pictures from Hausmann's Hidden Hollow

[DoubleDown]

First, let me say thanks to you guys for a great time this past weekend. I drove 10 hours from North Carolina to be there, and it was well worth the trip. You Parker Boys (and Girls) sure know how to have fun. it was truly a pleasure hanging out and shooting with all of you, and I appreciate the hospitality. I'm looking forward to the next time and I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later. I'm posting 90% of the pictures I took over the weekend in this thread. There are a few that I didn't include. If you want to see all of them, they can be found here.

That is a very common problem among you older guys. You should try to stay trim like Mark and I.....
