SUNDAY JULY 29th BEFORE SHOW

We arrived Sat at 2:00 pm and thought we would do some camping early. Well as it turned out they were haveing a 4H Horse Riding Contest where we all usually camp. Well where there is Horses there are road apples, and where there are road apples there are flies (I think you get the picture) Anyways yesterday there had to be a Zillion at our campsite So Luckily I brought some potenet spray I got from Orkin and Dave the campsite host fogged the whole campground for us (I wonder if MJ's Baked Goods had anything to do with that?) Anyways we shouldnt have any problem with skeeters between both of our spraying like last year. And the weather..... Well it has been just fantastic and looks like it will be all week. Im looking forward to you all getting here and if any want to come early Im sure I can fire up the Ole Grill and break out a Qt of apple juice. Here are some pics, brought my RJ-58 and 702 this year. All of you drive safe, and see you here.
