Arrived this afternoon and met with a few folks at Rick's site;
"Roughing" it in a cabin

Damn I wish I was there!!!!!

Looks like good times!!! I know all will enjoy! Smokin Don

Georgia has just become a little scarier than usual. Just try to keep nepas out of the wheelbarrow and crg away from the banjo or it could get even worse.

What a great looking place. Dee

Uh Paul, I sent a little sumpin sumpin down there guaranteed to put Rick in the wheelbarrow if he cracks the seal on it.
Google "Golden Pond KY" "Spencer Balentine" and "Silver Trail Distillery". You'll understand. ;)
-
I wish I was there as well :'(
-
Fun stuff, keep the pictures coming :)
-
If it's legally distilled and marketed, how can they call it "moonshine?"
-
Some good times are to be had ;)
-
What a great looking place. Dee
agree.
-
Hmmm - midnight in GA and no photos since late afternoon. I'm guessing that by the time they remembered to take some more pix, no one could find the button on the camera (assuming they could even find the camera).
Bad KyNola! Bad! Bad! Bad!
-
Have fun guys.
-
So first the power cord to the motorhome finds its way out of the trap door on the bottom of the compartment, dragging on the road and shredding the cord cap off the end. I "just happen" to have a spare power cord, courtesy of my DD's faux-pas with the lawn mower.
Then at MM46 in GA on I-95, the drivers side inside rear tire decides to no longer hold up its duties. Noise, Vibration... 1.5 hours later we are back on the road.
We made it to the KOA about 2100. Got checked in, then swap out the power cord. Working with wires that carry 120V 30Amp... not my primary skill set, but the cord is in and the lights are on...
-
Great pic's Gus, keep-em coming. Guess you will have to fill in for Pat on this one. Lot's of fun and it's just getting started.
-
Sure looks like a great place to meet.
Ain't it great when friends get together!
-
I got back home a couple of hours ago from spending the day down there today. Great, great people and some super food...more than will be eaten in a couple of days. (That seems to be a common trait at these get togethers) There was some of the best sausage, smoked cheese, and homemade pastrami that you have ever eaten. Rick did most of the cooking on his Old Smoky. Everyone was on their best behavior...which I attribute the super ladies present and their somewhat successful attempts at civilizing the males of the species. The weather was perfect. Hats off to all the work that was put into the preparation of the event. I'm sure there will be pictures posted...one I know which will be incriminating and deserves honorable mentioning in the post office. I won't say of whom it was, but his initials are nepas. Dee

Great photos as always, dee. Thanks.

I bet it is flammable whatever it is ;)

It was flammable and there is some indications that the occupant of the wheel barrow may have been lit too.. Dee
