Wish I could, we have an auction on the 10th, sounds like a blast, I havent been to one since I was 15 years old, that one was at millersylvania state park, would have been about 77, back in the Ed Meredith days.

If I can attend one someday I'll volunteer to be a ring man and bid spotter, I can catch a bid at 100 yards (I only take wink bids from ladies though, so if you're a guy raise your card)

Is there going to be a Trapper Ed class again this year? I didn't see it on your schedule. I'm bringing my son.

Yes, it's on there, Saturday morning.

Missed it again! I will make it again one of these years. Always some good information to be had at the Rondy.

Once again a fantastic weekend. I learned a lot, reconnected with friends, and probably gained about 10 pounds!

I'm sorry I missed you. We did not stay very long on Sat.

Humptulips · « **Reply #8 on:** June 11, 2012, 10:50:02 PM »

I know. I saw you once and then you were gone. Didn't get much chance to talk to you.

Seems like half the time I am preoccupied with some chore needs doing.

Mike,

We weren't drinking beer, Ted and I started and finished a fifth of wild turkey and Hannibal was working on his bottle of crown royal.

buckybuster · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2012, 08:06:15 PM »

we started with barley pop and washed it down with the bird,,,,,, the full meal deal.
I cant believe i ate the whole thing

castor gitter · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2012, 08:26:36 PM »

Yes I remember, just seemed like not as many beer guys this year. OOOOh well, I still have a few in the fridge.

fatslinger · « **Reply #23 on:** July 03, 2012, 09:33:12 AM »

It was too cold for beer. I would have enjoyed a hot buttered rum instead!

pnwmtnmn · « **Reply #24 on:** July 03, 2012, 04:28:57 PM »

I had rum last year in Omak!!!1

castor gitter · « **Reply #25 on:** July 03, 2012, 07:37:02 PM »

never too cold till the alcohol seperates out or makes a bottle burst unopened. then ya switch over

. or better yet start the hard stuff early to grease your bidding wheels for the auction then switch over
