Ed Kennell 35,848 #3 Posted September 25, 2015 I'll be there Fri and Sun Brian. Saturday depends on the wind direction. I've been watching a pretty good buck ( 150 ish) for several years now and Saturday is the first day of Pa archery.If we have a South wind, I will be in my stand. Maybe if the arrow flies straight Saturday morning, I'll look for you in the PM. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,848 #6 Posted October 1, 2015 Looks like this could be a wash out. We're pretty much saturated now. If... er ... when the grounds get muddy, all the equipment may end up at the bottom of the hill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,848 #11 Posted October 2, 2015 I'll look for you on Sat Eric. Do you think the track is usable for pulling? Dave, are you still bringing Wildfire? If so, keep us posted on your pull times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,909 #12 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I've been there when it only rained overnight, and the bottom display area was a swamp. Can't imagine what a couple of days of torrential rain would be like.I won't be going this year. Edited October 2, 2015 by rmaynard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericj 1,576 #14 Posted October 2, 2015 Ed i heard that the pro garden tractor pulls were cancelled not sure about the fun pulls. i got my diesel swamped last night on one of the higher road trying to get down to unload had to get pulled out by a kitty cat.actually he was the first tractor i found that was running and he said he would do it. 2 other people offered to pull me out with pickup trucks but i was afraid we just both get stuck or tear everything up trying to get out. its not going to be pretty this weekend down there. i'm leaving now to head down. see if i can get some pictures eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,848 #15 Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks for the update Eric....Glad you got out OK. Surprised you didn't use four of your 520s in a four horse hitch to yank that pick-up outa the mud. That would have made the calendar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,576 #16 Posted October 2, 2015 here's some pictures of today at rainy Windsor steam-o-rama. decided it was time to hang it up for today and try again tomorroweric j Thanks for the update Eric....Glad you got out OK. Surprised you didn't use four of your 520s in a four horse hitch to yank that pick-up outa the mud. That would have made the calendar. Ed I left all of my ( good tractors ) at home in the dry this year so i didn't even bring any 520's along to the show this year. i'm not sure the 520's could have pulled almost 8000 lbs of truck and trailer out of the souperic j 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The good news, you had no problem finding a space to set up. I really feel sorry for the folks (volunteers) that did all the prep work for this show.I just realized this is also apple harvest weekend @ South Mountain. They have better flat ground at Arendtsville than the hillside at Windsor, and they don't have tons of rolling iron to move. Anyway thanks for the update. Maybe I'll see ya sat or Sun. if these 20 some 60 year old spruce trees around me don't fall on me. The ground is saturated and they are catching a lot of this wind.
