Sorry to hear of the weather woes and Bill's key/window woes and Phil's truck woes!
But c'mon, more pics!!! Didn't y'all even manage a group photo of some kind?

Well, you missed mine, but you're forgiven, since I never took it out of the truck!

Yeah, that flank steak and potatos were great. My mouth is watering just thinking about them...
Tom cost me a bit of money after this trip. I saw how nice his Vixen red dot finder was and ordered one from Vixen NA this morning. They got them closed out at $47.00. They are much better than the plastic ones you get from several different sources.

Somehow I wounded my transmission when I left Friday night to go get food. Leaking etc.. Probably happened on the way up. Got my daughter and I home though!
And I got to meet Mike and ask him a bunch of questions which was a big part of my reason for wanting to go in the first place.

And don't leave an unguarded mocha where she can reach it! But then, isn't dog saliva supposed to be antibacterial?

Dave, here's a link that shows the wheelbarrow handle configuration I was talking about. I found this scope very easy and comfortable to move around.

You could also create a table to slip down over those handles and be even more useful. Good job, Ron!

Thanks Tom. Now I know what you were talking about.
I don't think I could used that configuration to get my scope up the ramps and into the back of my truck. I could just see the mirror box falling off the rocker.
