ok, who's up for a . . .
SILO Christmas CampFire HoDown?



I was thinking 'bout a rally round the Winter CampFire, cook some food over some hot coals, drink a few beverages with anti-freeze qualities.
I'm thinkin' bout Friday December 27th, location; Huntrz Deercamp, located approx. 35 miles SE of St. Louis. this is something Fungus and I were going to get together and do, just thought I'd see if anyone else is interested, PM me if your interested, for more info.

You're right Duke, I meant Saturday the 26th, LOL, jk, Friday, once I know how many people plan on showing up we can set up some details, I'm off on Friday so maybe we can start earlier than what I originally planned.

So Duke, will you be there trailering your new lens?

Bigduke
12-21-2008, 11:45
I can bring the lens and you can try it out..

I'd have to check with my boss. I'm off work that night, but depends on whether the missus wants to get out there in the cold.

Hey ! You'll have to go through Coulterville to get there! You can maybe follow me over if you want :)

huntrz
12-22-2008, 22:17
well, it looks like there is a 50% chance for rain on Friday, if it looks like it's going to rain all day my place will be out, no shelter and it would be a muddy mess, I'm game, but not sure how many others are. so, we might need a back up plan, location in case it is raining, something with a shelter. I'm open for suggestions. it would be nice if was in the same general area, near Marissa, which is probably closer to most of you coming than it is for me, but I'm game for anywhere.

Ideas???

12-22-2008, 22:22
I'm open to anywhere....

BAM
12-22-2008, 22:27
What about a state park? ( no wait almost forgot gov. closed most of them lol)what about possibly a bar ? How cold is it gonna be?

Down here the lodge is a nice place to meet and chill for a while as well as a few of the wineries.......IDK what u all got up there......lol

gretchensteele
12-23-2008, 06:01
There's plain old picnic ground style shelters at the park in Marissa.. and there's Jim and Cindy's Bar.. they'd probably shuffle us all off to the back half..or Main Street Bar in Marissa ( both have pool tables LOL) The closest state Park would be RCCA or Peabody (the gov didn't close any parks down here, just the historical sites ) And the big Shelter down at RCCA.. Hanft Park in NA also has some shelters..
IDK.. what do you guys think? I realize that sitting a bar kind of defeats the purpose.. There's also babes in Lenzburg, Jan's in Schuline.. Hey - wonder if the barge wll be open? I know they will be on New Years day..
Want me to have Critter check and see if they are going to be open FRiday?

Bob
12-23-2008, 06:51
I am all about this party! Adam and I will be in attendance after waterfowling that am. If necessary we may all be able to come to Bob's house! I have a garage to stand in, a kerosene blast heater if really cold, and a fire pit we could use in the driveway!

If however you make any comments about my junked up garage you will be asked to leave. (It is hunting season and I don't have time for such trivialities as cleaning right now.)

Any decisions yet on when and where?

lifestudent55
12-25-2008, 08:30
Yeah, is this going to take place? When, where, what do we bring? Inquiring minds want to know.

FunGusAmonGus
12-25-2008, 09:01
I think we need to see what the weather does.. I'm still up for anything but now Dodees got the flu real bad and I don't know when I'm going to come down with it. The kids had it about a week and a half ago, at least I hope it was the same as this cause I would hate for them to get this. Dodee was up for an hour last night throwing up in the shower. My Brother and his family had it three days ago and it only last 24 hours. I feel ok but that could change any time. Huntrz said if it rains it would be to muddy to have it out at his place. As long as I don't get sick we are up for going anywhere and doing anything.

lifestudent55
12-25-2008, 19:55
Right now the forecast is for isolated thunderstorms and around 60 degrees. We need to look at a covered area.

Fun, I hope Dodee's feeling better real soon and that you don't catch it too.

12-25-2008, 20:11
OK, looks like it's supposed to be drizzling or raining all day, so we are definitely going to move it to Randolph County Conservation Area, I will head over there first thing in the morning and see which shelter we can get. pm me if you're planning on coming with your cell number and I will call everyone when I know exactly where we will be.
Sound Good?
now let's talk about food, I just bought some brats, probably pick up some chips, if we all just take care of our own food and drinks and just SHOW UP!

ideas? input? criticism? winning lotto numbers? stock tips?

huntrz
12-25-2008, 22:41
ANYBODY ELSE?

we'll be at Randolph County Lake, best to pm me in morning, or just show up out there, we're going to try to be at the Group camp site, they have a nice shelter with a fireplace.

BAM
12-26-2008, 03:49
Our plans! Boyz going huntin in am, take nephew back home, visit chitown folkz that are here, drop kiddos off at sitter , head up to RCCA later on...
It will prolly take almost 2 hours or so ( bank and gas stop 2) ...Hopefully I get there before dark! :D

Now off to bed finally....you all can pm, call or send a text if plans change in the am or if u need me to pick up something on my journey up Ill be glad too!

Thanks everybody. Huntrz is the one who deserves all the thanks. We where just going to get together and roast a few dogs and sit around the fire. He provided the wood, got us the shelter, and made the post to invite everybody and I'm glad he did . It was great to get out and hang out with so many great folks. Dukes jalapeno sausage was super and so was Huntrz deer sausage. Everybody got together and brought something that made for a great time. I think some folks thought that squirrel was going to turn out tough or under done but once I coated it in sweet baby rays and took my time to roast it through and through everybody wanted a chunk and there was not on piece left. Huntrz got one of the back straps and i got the other.:D

Bigduke

Yea, I was EYEING that squirrel right before we left and it was really lookin good!

That shelter worked out pretty good.....What a nice night to be out with friends by the fire! I think Deno brought a truck load of nutz...lol.........what a nice guy!!! And dukes sausage was really good on some crackers!!! There was lots of goodies brought out and everything I tried was yummy!!

Hey, Thanks to everyone for showing up it definitely was a GREAT TIME!
Gretchen and Critter got there early and got the fire started for us.
and that squirrel was even better than it looks there.
can't wait to see more of the pics ya'all took!
Bam, I think I loaded your card up, just a snappin' away, should be a few good candid shots out of the 500 or so I took, he he.

maybe we should make the "Post Christmas Silo Campfire" an annual thing? and we can move the location to suit more people.

BAM
12-27-2008, 11:48
Huntrz there was only 183 total but it seemed like you took 500! lol Just started going thru them now.....:D

G and Critter lost theirs too because I thought they had the big bag in their cooler, SO I gave theirs away to late comers. Luckily Critter didn't thump a bottle on me!!! Adam's bag and mine along w/ the spares I was to deliver to those that couldn't make it got gone! Somebody made out like a fat rat in a cheese factory and doesn't share w/ other Sillinoisians...

Am I thine Pecans keeper? :confused: Well am I?? Deno personally handed me one bag of pecans and I layed it on the table and someone took it and opened it and everybody ate some. When Dodee got there there was only a couple of bags left in that Wal-Mart sack and everybody sitting at that table told her to take them. Then you blame me of taking them. I never took any. Nobody made out like a "fat rat" . You took it upon yourself to be the pecan cop and was not even there when others took some then blamed me and Critter. You right Critter took it very well. Its not my fault you left yours is it? They where there when we left at 8:30.. Sorry you forgot them.:confused: Deno said he had a whole freezer full. I'm sure if you want some he would be more than gracious to give you more. I didn't buy refreshments and food and go cut wood in the drizzle that I shared with everybody who showed up as bait for this big pecan caper. And your right its not funny to insinuate someones a bogart or a thief. especially when your not there the whole time.

When Deno pulled his NUTZ outta da bag and threw them on the table, I knew we were in for a treat, he said "I brought some NUTZ if ya'all want some, if there's not enuff I have more", well, I grabbed my NUTZ right away, threw them in the cooler and slammed the lid on them! (OUCH!) didn't want to miss out on gettin' some NUTZ! I saw that someone had cut a bag open, figured they were just sharin' their NUTZ with the rest of us, I tried some, and let me tell you, these weren't ordinary NUTZ, theze were SILO PEE-KANZ! and they were GOOD! well it was a BIG BAG O' NUTZ that Deno brought, don't know how many were in there, I figured there wuz plenty to go around, so when my wife got there, I asked her if she got NUTZ? she said no, well let me tell ya, my wife LUVZ NUTZ! especially PEE-KANZ, I guess she must of grabbed someones NUTZ, cuz when I got home there were TWO BAGZ of NUTZ in my cooler, still didn't think there was a problem, seemed to be plenty.

So, if someone feels like they got shorted in the NUTZ department, I can share mine. :D I guess maybe I got more than I deserve.

so, I'm goin thru some of the pics, and I found this one, I darkened the eyes so they can't be identified, and I'm not 'ccuzin' anyone just sayin' I thought this looked a little like a conspirancy waitin' to happen!

I know there was enough to go round when we went on the tour of the park, then we got back and they were all gone... Oh well.... I was gonna take any extra and give them away any how. Griswold was sick and couldn't make it, and I know some others that would have liked some.

If you want an apology from me Fun here it is...SORRY. :cool:

Jeez I wish I wouldn't have missed that soiree. I do have to ask about the tree rat. Was he harvested on site or did he come in the FunVan? That lil beggar looks deelish. I'm thinkin we need to have us a wild game feed where anything and everything is welcome. Read possum, beaver, groundhog, muskrat....and the usual fav's. Gar too. We need to do us some experiencin' and see if we can find some new fav's.
