Best bet is to keep it the same weekend since I know it's open at the club.

Being in Ohio it's a crapshoot when it comes to the weather....
We've seen the spectrums at the gatherings over the years...

Mike, thanks again for the hospitality.... You hit it out of the park again this year.... Everyone I talked to had a great time, it's a weekend I know I look forward too....

For all who did the cooking it was much appreciated, Beener you were missed but the guys stepped up and did a hell of a job.....

It was great to finally meet some new faces to old names I've been conversing with over the years, Mike, John, Chad (the shorter one), Steve and of course last but not least Phil....

These weekends are a blast, mine was cut short but I had fun watching everyone running around trying to get as much in as they could, catching up with folks since the last time we talked and enjoying the campfire in the evening....

Did we ever get a good count on how many were there? I got 26 and were missing a few....

Made it home safe around 7:30,was great seeing and hanging out with everyone.
If anyone went home hungry it was their own fault.
Big thx to Jesse and Joe for having the best forum out there and big thx to Cotty for allowing us to hangout on his home turf again.

I made it home in record time in about 3.5 hours! That slow bastard that Dan,JohnR,Greg/Randy and I followed the entire way along the two lane part of 22 to I-77 costs us all about 15 minutes TOO!

Had a great time as always everyone!!!

Nice to meet all of you. Still working on everyone's name. I'll be even more confused when I see your screen names.

I had a great time. Since most of my days are spent with a 1 and 3 year old, having adults around was a nice change. Loved getting to ride for 6 hours on Friday. The nasty steep hills Phil and I were climbing were fun!

The bacon deer burgers, frog legs, cobbler, fruit pizza and the pasta salads were outstanding......no fantastic. All the food you brought or cooked was amazing. Thanks everyone! John, Thanks for the coffee everyday! Dan, that was an awesome breakfast you cooked Saturday morning! Somehow I gained weight there despite sweating about 10lbs a day.

Shooting clays was way too much fun. I could've spent all day there.

Thanks for having me!

Oh, another thing, I shared more laughs on this trip with great friends than I think I ever have outside of the times Ron and I share with our hunting buddies in our hunting club!

I literally had to wipe the tears away from my eyes during these laughs than it clogged up my sinuses as well! The best for me was hearing FLUTIE imitate my sorry ass trying to sing along with Mikes great guitar playing!!!! I was chuckling my ass off reminiscing over all the funny shit we did on my long drive home!!!

Great memories and laughs for sure!

Made it home at 12:30.
Thanks for everyone's efforts! I had a great time even though I was whipped. The pool made all of the difference. Thanks Mike and Mingo Sportsman's Club!
Nice meeting some of you for the first time as well.

Was great meeting you. Hop on that scale again in three days when you're rehydrated and that food has had a chance to stick. I usually put on about 6 lbs at TOO events.

Big Thanks TOO Everyone there for being a part of all the fun! The list is too long to go through for each individual. But each of you know what your part was and your part was equally important! They all fit together to make this a Piece of Heaven on Earth this weekend. I do want to Thank Joe and Jesse for bringing all of us together to start this mess...:smiley_clap:

Another outstanding weekend. Got to finally shake hands with J and it was an honor. Got to meet Alpha max too!

Riding was awesome. Nice to realize we can use the pool there now. That was refreshing. Food was awesome as always. The company was hilarious as always. Rifle range and trap shooting was a lot of fun . Hard to beat a TOO gathering. You guys are the best!

Glad you fellers had a blast. It's been fun following along. Between texting back and forth with Chad and following on here, almost get like I was involved.
