OK, just this last little bit of the story, for those of you who could not make it, or for those of you who might have forgotten what might or might not have happened.
It started out Thursday afternoon when the first to arrive was Jersey Girl Then the planes started to arrive and tents are being put up. We probably received little sleep with people coming in all night long. Tents ,tree boats, and sleeping mats going up everywhere.
Up early on Friday morning and out to the site. Basic set up including rebarr and caution tape done by 9:45 just tweaking the WC and AR and a whole lot of fun climbing going on. And Lot's more of Tree folks keep showing up.
It's time for sushi and I have to go the airport to pick up more climbers, so somebody else will have to fill you in on the bait eating.
When I arrived home Friday evening I was following a fire truck into the neighborhood. Yep coming to my house, Some of the others who didn't want to eat bait had come back and stared a small fire, Well the FD said have a great night just put the fire out when your done cooking. (thank you Deltona FD)
Now it gets a little sad, at 7:50 PM my next neighbour came over and asked if I could keep the KID"S quiet. Well my answer was of course "No, I can't, two of the children have just arrived Mam and spent 6 hour's in a van to get here, what would your children do in this situation Mam? "Well I guess she dose not like hearing the word NO and she called the Sheriff's office and they came over and there was about 15-20 people here at the time 8:30ish We were told to have a great night. So about 45 mins later she did no like hearing No from the PD so she called again and this time THREE car's showed up and the one's eating bait were showing up and seeing friends that they might not have seen yet, so what I'm getting at is everyone was just them self's, beer drinking storytelling ETC. PD again have a great night.
You might think that this would be the end of it, but I'm sorry to say they came back one more time and said they wont be back your having a lawful night, I'm sorry, probably see you tomorrow night .(said with a laugh)
Saturday The rain held off till the awards ceremony which was awesome. We had a very safe and fun day of climbing.
We arrived back at my house were my friend Tommy cooked over 120#'s of meat plus the fixing's all day. We ate all but 3-5#'s of food. Joanne figured we had 85-90 people here for dinner. After we ate the rain stopped and we started a nice small fire at my neighbours house. I can say up till 2AM everyone had a blast after that is up to one of you who was up till 5:45. (as I was leaving the neighbors next door to Ebb and Steve were just joining the party)
Sunday morning a Big breakfast cooked by my LOVING wife and friends, trash picked up, some had to leave and some didn't.
Those of them that stayed went back to the site to retrieve two pieces of yellow tape and the pole. About 13 climbers were needed to accomplish this task.
Later we went and saw the Big tree park, back to my place and old EZ started telling about a certain type of movie he seams to enjoy and received his new nick name of Cubby or Cubby hole. The later is how he is now stored in my phone.
The rest of you left on Monday morning.
What a great time I and my family and most of my neighbors had. THANKYOU.
