First thing I need to say is a BIG THANK YOU to Karen and Boo for their hospitality and friendship. Next is to thanks all the others that came out to make this such an enjoyable couple of days.

Lots of food (never even got into what I took). Great people and lots of laughs. BTW, I did make it home without getting very wet (I got the red flag just west of Bowmanville and hid inside a Walmart for 45 minutes for the rain to end) :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well I just remembered even though I didn't bring my camera, I did have my cell phone and took one picture, as I felt it was the culmination and perfect ending to a great event.

I'll post my pictures when I have some time, hopefully tonight.
I will say that I was really appreciative of Rick (Roly) and Patty for helping set up on Friday as well as Norm (Enormous) and Patty for helping clear up. Thanks guys, you made those tasks much more pleasant!!!
BTW, there are plans that may or may not come to fruition to make Boostock even better next year! I'll know better in Feb but please keep Boostock in mind for next year.
On another note some of you members got to see the Twilight scope. It would be really great if you guys cold let the others know what you saw.
Lastly I figured out yesterday that someone had cranked the speed ring on my bow! Nice! LOL! Just so you know it's a sin to touch another man's speed ring! And while were at it just how many of my arrows went bye-bye? I think about 4 or 5 are in a field, robin-hooded etc! :shock:
All things considered I am happy with everyone for turning out, you were all GREAT guest! THANK YOU!

Me too!

I am even more disappointed that the attendees aren't sharing the full experience. Certainly, they understand that I am living vicariously through them. :cry:
