Great to meet (& pick with) you as well Carol @yellowrosefiddler! Wish we’d have taken a photo together!! Carol was my chair neighbor in the mandolin class, on my other side was @Mark_Rocka.

Attn all TX campers:
I have cell phone videos of all the bands. If you would like me to upload your band to YouTube (as an “unlisted/not public” video) I’ll be happy to to do so - just plz let me know your band # and name. I can post it here on this thread/send you the link & you’re welcome to share it as you wish. Unfortunately my band’s video is currently in husband’s phone with him at work… so may be a day or so before I get that. Mind you, these are just cell videos and may be a bit shaky & crooked as I was recording them standing in the back w a mandolin around my neck… :grin:

The barn to the left is where we ate meals, under the overhang. The barn to the right was the Party Barn where we had group instruction, and the concerts were held there as well. The bonfire :fire: pit is to the far right (smoke rising). Somehow I did not manage to get a pic of the building the guitar class was held in or the mandolin & general store areas. These areas also doubled as jam areas and such.

It was so nice seeing so many familiar faces. Who knew Cabin Camp would start feeling like a family reunion (with family I actually like…)?

So, at camp they had a hatchet throwing competition… it was hosted by @Mark_Rocka during break times & campers got 4 throws a day to try & stick the hatchet into the bullseye :dart:. A bullseye meant your name was in the prize drawing… I never ever thought I’d stick one, (yes I’m proud to say the above is my (only) bullseye!), Let alone totally enjoy it!
