Blockade Runners Help Needed 1-30th-31st

[Williep]

Glad I was able to help you out Sandy. Since Sandy will be telling the whole story in another post I'll just post up a few pic's here. You will see Sandy hauling the last load to the dock and then just kicking back at the camp.

Grats Sandy. I know a hugh load has been lifted off of your shoulders as well.

Ibsoom, please feel free to post the photos. I wanted to do it, but with the update, it's just too late for me to do it now. I'll post my pics tomorrow night.

Thanks to WillieP, who was a chainsaw maniac again and came all the way from Baytown TWICE, to 007 who fought through a gimp ankle and took out the fiberglass tank among other things, to Likesemfishbig11 who jumped on everything he was asked to tackle, and finally to Ibtsoom who showed up just in the nick of time to haul off the last 3 loads.

IT is done.

Weather permitting, next weekend I'd like to invite every single person who ever lifted a finger at the Ghost Camp to come out to Blockade Runners and enjoy a day or 2 of relaxation. Just come for a few hours or the whole time, it doesn't matter. No obligations, and no work will be allowed or attempted. Call it a Ghost Camp is Gone Party. First 3 cases of brew are on me. I'll have a rack of ribs and stuff for a boil. If you want to bring your own and throw it on the grill or stove, bring it on. This will be a very informal thing. Just come, relax, and enjoy. No boat? I pick you up at the ramp.

This is not to be confused with the upcoming Blockade Runners re-dedication party to happen sometime in early June. That will be a much bigger deal.

The Ghost Camp is GONE!!! I hauled the last load to the bonfire a little after lunch today. We got some pics of the big moment but I'm gonna let Sandy post em up with his report.

It might be premature, but I'd like to offer up for anyone who lifted a finger on the Ghost Camp to come out for a little enjoyment next weekend. I'll be taking a day to do nothing but enjoy. There will be absolutely zero work required of anyone. Pencil it in if you can.

I don't know if I can see you not doing a little work.......

If we don't head up to our place, Pencil me in as a possible. I really need to work on my shop and get some arrows built but the only time I've been on the water so far this year was when I came down and help the weekend before last. So to say the least I'm primed for some time on the water.

They will be pouring concrete for the memorial next weekend, but I don't know much about helping in that respect. I need a little break for Derek if you know what I mean, just like you need a little break for Sandy......

I would love some more help Man, but I'm not in a situation where I think anyone should be putting themselves out. Mike and Willie are like 4 people instead of 2, and Spike is a young buck crazy enough to do anything. Bring your waders Spike!

My camera is primed and ready for the big official moment of done-ness on Sunday. If I was worried, I would have taken the day off on Monday. Though we are at what I would consider a minimum compliment, I have compete confidence in our ability to get it DONE!

The only thing I wish I had was another boat to move people on Sunday while I haul stuff. If anyone has a boat and has the time, that would make us finished sooner. This may be the final ride of the Ugly Mudda.

Do you have enough help Sandy? I don't have the time set aside for going to the camp, but if you are going to have a problem getting done, I'll come down and help so that you'll beat the deadline.
You all have done too much to come up short.

[Likesemfishbig11]

Will do...will do. spike

[coachlaw]

That stuff's more important than gettin' to the camp early. Take care of your gramps. They ain't around forever.

Just don't take the man's potatoe!

I will C I L L you fer takin tha taters!!

[Likesemfishbig11]

Ok i will try not to but dont worry about me if i do, ill pick something up if i call you any later than that which i dont plan on doing. i just have to help my gramps run a day of errons that he's no longer to do anymore due to his age. So we will see how that goes and ill let you know.

No problem Bro. Don't get there too late or you'll miss supper! I'm about to pack my bags. Just need Mike to call me back on what food to bring.
