Bumping to top.
Checking in after a while away. Thanks for doing your thing Mark. I plan to come and join you one of the weekends.
SO, I got this weekend to view the ponds, good news the ponds are not as low as I thought they would be, still low, but no mud banks. The drive in (at 3pm Friday), flushed 3 grouse on the road, dozens of ducks from the ponds and Doe with Fawn. Way more Bear scat, then I have seen in previous years. Lots of Yote poop as well.
Was surprised at Waterfowl Regs - Opener is 28th Sept. Just as well, normally by this time the geese are flocking like crazy, but not this year, they still haven't got into the fall swing. Which lends credence to my prediction of a long fall with cooler temps, then a very mild winter. The animals and trees are such great indicators of the cycles.
Seen some snow geese in the back pond, and woodcock crossing over. Good berry crop and edibles seen all over. So two more weekends of planning to kick off the 2019 season.
Thanks a lot for doing this for us newbies. Finally got my license this summer. Will definitely join you. When will you start the camp? The weekend of Sept 28?
Yes, that weekend, will be onsite Thursday night to set up new camp routine and shake out the bugs of new sleeping accommodations.
So the accommodations, decided to try and build a tarp tent from the 17 X 24 tarp for pontoon. Progress so far. Cut to size, now at home to add reinforcing edge ply (TREX Tape), Grommets, velco type closure and zipper. It is 8 X 12 with 4 ft high side walls.Attachment 38826

We know she'll stand up to a Heck of a rain storm.. Lots of room inside, a floor and storage space outside on the sides that is covered and accessible from the two side doors of the main dome.
But I do like the idea of a home built tent. I would like to get a Baker tent or two. One is enough for a small bush camp, and two with a tarp forms a very nice tent for four to six people with a small heater or fire in colder weather.
I might be out for the 28'th Logan and I. I but will confirm next weekend.
