The results are in!
We had a blast, the weather was absolutely perfect and the scenery (of course) was fantastic.
Not much of a turnout - only six of us (Myself & Jackson, Scottishlass, Indyfella, Daniel4021 and former CS member Heatherhoney) from an early guesstimation of 18 to 20 - but we all hit it off great.
The food was delicous - owing to the rather small turnout and the fact that we'd ordered food for a BIG turnout - we had both lunch and supper and Jackson and I will eating 'Buddy's Barbecue' leftovers until well into next spring. With barbecue beef, pork and chicken, 'tater' salad, baked beans, chips and homemade sassafras tea as well as other refreshments, we all pretty much ate until we nearly burst.
Our waterfight(s), while not spectacular, were nonetheless fun and "refreshing" and I discovered that Scottishlass is deadly with a supersoaker -- even while laughing so hard that she couldn't see straight! Frisbees and shuttlecocks filled the air (and littered the ground!) as our bodies tried to remember how they worked when we were young and invincible.
In the early evening, we took a trip down to the river and Daniel4021 and Scottishlass both took short canoe trips of about a mile down the beautiful and scenic Clinch river, personally guided by the Kansan.
Our guest of honor - our chihuahua, "Miss Patty Ann" - also had a great time, being well spoiled by all and even rode on Scottishlass' lap during the canoe trip.
Bunches and bunches of pictures were taken and will be posted as they become available. Heather has the ability to make a video from our still photos, so I guess it behooves all of us who took cameras to get the pics to Heather as soon as we can.
All in all, it was a fantastic time and those who couldn't make it sure missed out on something great. There's a good chance that we'll try it again next year, probably in July, but it'll be more of a potluck, rent-a-cabin for the weekend sort of thing rather than the 'self-catered' picnic we had yesterday just to lessen the stress and financial burden on the planners.
Darn, but ya'll sure missed out on some fun, fun times!
(Now, Anybody wanna' come over this morning and help me unload the Ramcharger?)
