We have once again put another successful shoot behind us. The attendance this year was the highest we have ever had.

One of the best things about this shoot was the surprise visit by MS.BEHAVIN ~ what an absolute thrill to see her there!

Thursday night we all had the chance to catch up and enjoy lots and lots of laughter.

Friday was spent shopping, site seeing, checking out the creeks and rivers, or just being plain lazy. That evening we all met at the cottage’s pavilion for more great conversation and good food ~ thanks to penelopesire & the Mr., humblegunner, NYTexan and BaconMan . Part of the entertainment for the evening was provided my Mother Nature ~ we saw a wasp and a spider battling, the wasp won and carried the spider away; we also saw a cicada crawling up a post, then coming out of its shell.

Saturday morning the crew met for breakfast (if you every go to Granny D’s in Canyon Lake, do not get the breakfast buffet) before heading to the range. After several hours of shooting we scarfed down brisket & shrimp creole provided by cpdiii, perfect potato salad prepared by laurenmarlowe and pinto beans (aka jalapeno soup) cooked by me. By Saturday evening we were all pretty pooped, but did manage to meet again at the pavilion for snacks and drinks.

Sunday was a slow day packing up to head home.

With the exception of some problems BuckeyeTexan “ran” into, it was a perfect weekend.

I enjoyed very much seeing all of those that attended, and was thrilled to meet some new participants. As always I am looking forward to next year ~ where I hope we beat the attendance record.

It must be added that the folks in Wimberely are so darn nice and friendly.

Yeah, she dragged my 4-wheeler ramps into the road and ran over 'em.

I still love her.. but just damn.

It was a fantastic weekend...and I thank you (and others) for all the hard work put into making it so!

...and yes! The people in Wimberly are amazingly nice and helpful and friendly! :)

Mr Cicada was a rock star! With shiny wings! :)

Glad to hear that the shoot was such a great success, and that everyone had a blast. We just couldn’t pull it off this year, but we’ll be at next year’s shoot fo sho!
