WARNING!
For those of you that have not already met Bibbyman and Arkansawyer in person, it would do you well to read up a little and maybe even find a pic or two.
I hear there is an impostor amongst us! ;)  :D

puh-SKOLLY,
Tammy and I had the opposite experence at the pig roast, it was like walking into a family reunion, almost. ;D Jeff was pretty easy to spot as he had just changed his picture, the red shirt made Tom a give away,  Bibbyman was introducing hisself to everbody, and I had already met Captain.

Tammy and I are planning our vacation around MI this summer, can't wait to go to the UP!

The piggy roast was fun, and if you can possibly make the trip you should. Norm & I left Bangor Friday afternoon, and pulled into Harrison Saturday afternoon. We were only able to stay a couple hours, but it was sure fun and the food was wonderful. We finally got back home Sunday afternoon. I haven't driven so many miles in so short of time since I was much younger and alot more spry! My butt still aches.  ;D It was well worth the effort, though. Meeting WV Hillbilly, Furby,EZ & Ann Margaret aka Mrs EZ,  ;D , Chisel, Tammy, Stacy & Jeff, Charlie, Mark, Corley, Buzz, Delcy, Doug in Utah, Tamiam, Arkansawyer and everybody else and all the families was great. Hillbilly suprised us all with cool gifts. He is so thoughtful. The occasion was a real delight.

  I would have to agree with Kevin  . Walking up to Jeff's yard it seemed like you were going to meet people you already knew a while . It was a great time to meet all of the faces to go with the names . I hope more people come  this year . 

  Patty I was proud of myself pulling those nameplates off without anyone finding out till we were there .   The amazed look on peoples faces was priceless .  Has  Norm taken the Bass puzzle apart since the tranportation disassembly ?

Hillbilly,

The bass proudly sits on Norm's desk at home. He shows it off to everyone who comes to visit.  :)
My cat is proudly displayed in my office/sewing room. I mounted it in front of a velvet frame....it is beautiful.  ;)

If the sap decides to run we will bring some maple syrup for the breakfast.

Would ask for a parking spot for the camper but we would be hoggin'  maybe we can park in the neighbors yard :D :D :D :D :D

We will find a campground close by.
