Thanks again for a great event Charlie!

IIRC, over $12k raised for Wings for Warriors and the Wounded Warrior Transition Unit. Well over 200 people in attendance.

The BBQ guys came Friday and had the smokers going all night. A separate crew cooked for Friday while the main crew prepared meat for Saturday - so Friday was lobsters and clams and sausage and hot dogs for those camping. The sausages and dogs were simply the best I have ever had.

Saturday, Diesel Grinch was the big winner of a very nice cab of HdM IIRC. I won a few times but gave the wine and Havana Club back for re-drawing. (Customs doesn't like when I have too much booze and too much tobacco.) I now have a nice collection of Gurkha tin signs(!), a CAO cap, and a small box of the new Ortega Series D No. 12, the first (non-ISOM) cigar that I have seen in a while with no cello.

The BBQ was awesome - see menu above. The whisky/whiskey tasting was great, with a variety of Scotch, Irish, and American available. The leftovers - both Irish, made it back to the campsite, where I cured Will of the hiccups (Badwhale and friend and Irish79 camped out on Saturday.) During the day there were also Italian Ices to sample, which were extremely popular when the sun was beating down.

Just like last year, I drove through heavy thunderstorms coming down and going back, but the event itself was rain-free despite predictions.

Hope to see more folks from here next year!
