Hi All!

I've come home to get Craig and was planning on going back to BRSF, however, the entire area is under a tornado watch from here to Eau Claire and torrential rains. I drove 25 miles and it took me 45 minutes...couldn't see the road and was pushing water the whole way but there was no place to pull off, so had to keep going. We are in a lull right now and the back end of this HUGE storm is supposed to hit pretty hard...not sure when we will head back up there.

Tim, your campsite is empty, so you will be able to get in right away. I would bet with this rain, there will be others leaving early in the morning, if they haven't fled tonight.

See you tomorrow!

Betsey,

Thanks for the information! I am meeting Toby and Sue in Hudson at 10am. We were planning to stay off of I94 and take the scenic route the rest of the way. I will have to see what they want to do. I am open to either a slow scenic trip or a quick trip. I also need to get groceries.

As long as there is a tornado watch in the area of BRSF, I would avoid it at all costs! After all, Jim and Randy are in the area. They don't have a good track record when it comes to tornados. They seem to attract them!

Hope this finds all of you who camped at BRF fine and safe at home or on your way home after the big storm (tornado?). More great stories to catch up on around the campfire.

I don't know if it is safe to camp with Jim and Randy.... the tornados seem to follow them everywhere.

Seriously, hope all had a great time.

Saturday nite was just a light shower You need to be at Evergreen Hill for the fun storms.
Everything was great. Seven teardrops. Most pulled out this morning but we left a couple there.
Betsey may have some stories about driving in the storm. The rest of us stayed reasonably dry but just a little drunk under the easy-up.
Randy

We put up a couple of tarps around the e-z up and stayed pretty dry. real tame compared to the twister randy and I had in IA. But overall the weather was great. Lori and I did same kayaking on the beautiful and clear Lake Wazee.
I had a good time and of course ate very well, enjoyed the laughter celebrated Randy's birthday and liked the tour of Tim's trailer. He did a great job. And with all the TP everyone gave him he should have put in a bathroom.
Looking forward to seeing some pics

I'm kinda disappointed!!! With all the posts leading up to this gathering I expected some follow-up.
It is a week later and few posts. No pics. Didn't anyone get home or did others not enjoy themselves or what?
Am I expecting too much to at least want to see a few pictures?

Sorry Randy. It sure was nice to meet a new friend. I look forward to seeing you again!

Toby, Sue, their Grandkids, and I went to Willow River State Park on Tuesday night after BRSF. We had lots of fun their too! Wish you all could have gone. I have posted a few of my favorite photos in my Album. Since I didn't take any photos, I have to give credit to Lori, Toby, and Sue for their skill at taking pictures.

The one thing I am dissapointed in from BRSF is that I didn't get a chance to take a look at your Tear. I guess I was so wrapped up in mine that I forgot. I am sorry.

Here is my favorite photo from BRSF:



For everyone on this forum. The above photo is a picture of my New Friend Randy celebrating his birthday. He is one of the nicest guys you care to meet but he is also sneaky! During the BRSF gathering he had the job of distracting me while everyone covered my beautiful new Tear in Toilet Paper! Can you believe that! He will never fool me with an ice cream cone and a can of cherries again!

...ice cream cone and a can o' cherries ...now that's funny, I don't care who ya are...glad to hear y'all hadda good time and no one got blown/washed away
