Moose Returns from Punkin Chunkin

[BILLYL]

Howdy All -

Got back from the 2006 Punkin Chuckin and take a look at the photos....

We stayed at Trap Pond in Laurel Delaware. We highly recommend it to eveyone. One of the nicest state parks we stayed at. Very nice - canoeing and several trails. The Swamp Cedars were something to see.

And for the Chuckin this year - it was amazing........... What people will do to throw a 3 pound pumkin 4000 feet. Man and his machines........

The scouts that were with us all agreeded that one has to experience a Chuckin - at least once in your life.

Temps got done in the low 30F and the Moose kept us nice a warm. The scouts decided that they did not want tosleep in their tents so several of them built a nest out of pine needles and sleep real nice - dry and warm.

One of the best parts of the trip was crossing the Bay Bridge in Maryland. Two lanes wide and I had no problem crossing.

Hope you enjoy the photos and see you there next year!

Nice pictures. Looks like you had a good time.

It was great. I added some more pics to the file.

If you ever get a chance to get up to this area of the country - it is really a nice place to camp.

We can't wait to go back.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures.
Looks like a great place to go.

Looks like the real thing--fall camping! Congrats!

BTW:

In that photo with a bunch of you sitting around the fire, there are two cars in the background. Is that a Christmas tree you chopped down in the blue car???

[BILLYL]

Ira-

Nope- that's just some of the branches from the tree.

We go Christmas tree chopping in about 2 weeks.....................

Go back home - Moscow PA to the family friend's farm and get a tree. Big time - lots of cousins and lots of food/drink

That sounds GREAT. Never had a tree as a kid, but married to a Catholic, I enjoy it more than HER.

Except down here, we can't buy a tree more than 2, 3 weeks out or it will dry out to dust--and we usually get them from Home Depot.

Putting the true religious significance aside, Christmas in Florida is kind of an oxymoron.

We were there too. Took the kids but no camping!

Saw one machine misfire and send a pumpkin into the car corral. SWEET!!!!!

Maybe next year we'll camp.

Ken -

We heard about that "Misfire" last year one went into the crowd and landed at the feet of some poor soul. I can't imagine how long one would live if you got a direct hit.

Great weather - I really wouldn't want to be there if it rained - the parking lot would be one big mud pile.

See ya next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
