Had another awesome time with my TOO brothers this weekend!
Awesome food brought and shared by everyone TOO. Charles..... you rocked your meat brother! Thanks for all your hard work by feeding us.
However, I will say it was miserably humid and muggy for those that slept in our trucks! Lol.
Especially when the skeeters invaded your ears every minute! Lmao

Ron,Brian and I had had it with the mosquito massacre that happened in our vehicles thru the night so we quietly rotflmao pulled out before 5:30 this morning. Brian got home about the same time we pulled into Ron's driveway about 2 hours in all.
Wanted to just say it's was great seeing everyone and I had another outstanding weekend with some great people that I'm honored to be called FRIENDS. Great idea for the drawing Rick!:smiley_clap:
Those who've never had the pleasure of eating a Dan breakfast sammich with a nice hot cup of coffee from John Roche's pot and great conversation with friends under his canopy or sitting around campfires day and night BS with friends while smelling Beeners tablefare being perfected in Laverne don't know what they're missing!Thanks brothers!
The food and comraderie was once again the best! Safe travels back home for everyone! TOO EVENTS ROCK!

Well said Ric!
Had a great time as usual and a big thanks to Mike for allowing us all to have a great place to hang out for the weekend.

Great to see everyone again and to meet some new faces. Big thanks to Cotty for the playground, Beener for hauling the smoker and awesome food, and to everyone else for the laughs and good times!
Home sweet home. So great to see you all again and meet a couple new faces.
Charles is the best meat head I know and I thank him for his excellence.
Thank you to the Cottis Clan for being such great hosts and riding tour guides.
Thank you to Big Country for not stomping me like a grape.
I swear my toilet softly mumbled to me "please don't do it. . . Please stop. . . Oh YOU are a sick dude. Was it Mingo weekend again?"

Well said fellas.
Got home a little while ago to a septic truck just wrapping things up. $300 to pump it out and unclog the filter. For a Sunday call and the stress it caused...I'm very thankful that I didn't have to do anything at all.
Mike, I warned you guys first! All in good fun, I had a great time. Even learned something very disgusting and a fellow brother [emoji23]

Hope that takes care of things for you man. $300 stings a little but hopefully that's the end of it.Well said fellas.

Finally got a shower and now I'm fighting to stay awake. A midday nap might be in my future. Thanks again for hosting us at Mingo, cotty. It was a perfect weekend as usual. I can't think of a nicer place for a gathering like this one.
To everyone involved this weekend, thanks for sharing in the great times that were had. Everything from the food, to the shooting, to the quad rides, to camp fires, the 1st annual door prize raffle... It was just pure awesome. And to everyone that was involved with the TOO "diaper fundraiser," I can't possibly thank you enough. My wife and I are both totally blown away by that surprise and generosity. This place never ceases to amaze me.
Made it home. Got the FIL dropped off and washed his quad. Came home unloaded and am getting ready to shower.
All I can say is WOW! What a weekend. I honestly don't know what I would have done without this relief valve of a weekend.
Thank you all so much for welcoming Rod into camp and excepting him as one of our own.
Cotty, thanks for hosting and all the accommodations. It's a fabulous place and can't wait to get back there again.
Beener nailed the food again. I just don't understand how something that smells so freaking good, can turn so rotten when exiting.
TOO all my other deplorable brothers it was such a great blessing to share camp, food, drinks, guns, trail rides, laughter, and life with you.
See you in October.

Other than time with my family, nothing comes close to spending a weekend with this surrogate band of brothers. Thank you to everyone who attended for your contributions to the weekend. Beener, that shrimp was probably the best thing you've made to date IMO. Fantastic. The fireworks Jim put together were amazing and I love it when Mike and JB hook up for some live music. Just a damn fine way to spend a weekend!

Words always fail to describe how great it was to see you all again. The food, the friendship, the stories told, cracks made, and jokes told always make for an epic time. Huge thanks to everyone that made it. Some of you have faced some pretty crappy situations lately and to see yall still make it says a lot about how important it is to all of us. To those that decide not to come, you really should.. To those who couldn't make it and to the new faces we hope to see you next time.
What an outstanding weekend. It's been said before, but I don't mind repeating it. Mingo weekend with my family does something for my soul. I needed this weekend as I'm sure others did TOO. I had a blast yet again. Great friends, great food, great, but fucked up conversation. I'm finally home and sort of unpacked. Drinking a few more beers to rehydrate. Thanks to Cotty, Beener, Rick, TC, Giles, Jon, John, J, Ron, Ric, everyone, thank you all. My balls stink. Love this place. Glad it was a surprise Jim. Great conversations with Buxton and Nick Saturday night. I could go on and on, but like I said, my balls stink. Gotta do something about that. Thanks for the sammiches Dan.
Finally got the truck back to Navarre after the driver brought the wrong truck the first time. The owner of that truck ended up filing a stolen vehicle report lol. I had a hell of a time this weekend, and it always goes TOO fast. Thanks to Cotty for hooking us up with a great place to get together, thanks Beener for the excellent grub, and Rick for getting the drawing put together! One thing I've been worrying about since Jon left is if he found his quad. I took one hell of a nap on the recliner when I got home after I ate 4 of Rick's bacon burgers 
. Always great getting together with my brothers , I look forward to it every year! The countdown to Stroud's is on, fellas!

Joe hit it: Words could NEVER describe Mingo Weekend! Each and every one of you had a part in this. And I do mean all 28 of us....Some bigger than others but they are all equal with graditude. You guys freaking rock for sure! Everyone that asks about mingo gets told "You would have to go to know what I'm saying". Only 361 days until the next one! Oh yea.... # FF
