Who just registered for D-Day?

THIS GUY!

Heres to my first year with the 899th!

THIS GUY TOO!!!!

THIS GUY REG. AND BOUGHT PAINT!!!!! I'm sooo far ahead this year...lol

I dont know if I'm ahead compared to past years but I've had a lot less work to do, lol. Next on my agenda is my shelter.

You do know we have a bunkhouse, well it's a cargo container turned bunkhouse. Not sure if all the bunks are taken yet, but check with Cookie about it.

Oh thats alright. I like to rough it solo. I change my camping arrangements just about every year.

2009 & 2010, worked beautifully. Still working in fact.


2011 The Box. Earned a new call sign with that homemade air conditioned beauty.


2012 The Hindenburg. Cut a hole in the back and put the air conditioner in it. Worked but a lot of labor setting it up.


I'm still planning out this years shelter. Should be pretty cool. Won't be just a sleeping quarters but a hang out out of the sun too.

Wheresmy had one of them one year he setup and had the ac setting inside.

sorry wont be there again this year guys. last year we bought a house and now this year we're having a baby boy at the end of june. ill be back in 2014 to tear it up

This years shelter is pretty well done. Center pole is built and the canopy is put together. Not going to do the final assembly till I get down there.

I JUST REGISTERED FOR DDAY YESTERDAY!!!

This shelter was great. next year we are gonna have to make sure its part of the tent circle so you are so far away. I missed my ginger during the cold D-Day nights.  

This year I'm going to get a screen house with storm flaps and putting the camo net over that. Might even try to make a little awning out of the netting.- http://www.ebay.com/itm/261184760750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 This will serve as my radio hut and shelter.

I'd like to set it up somewhere between the trees and Beatle pond. I'm going to have the base camp radio inside and the antenna needs to be hung from a tree limb. We should be able to hear it from there to our main little congregation area.

Only one spot that is smooth enough for that, and its the spot on road facing side of the telephone pole.

I'll have to do some scouting when I'm down in the spring.

we'll be sure to take pictures Vern so that you can stay up to speed

Sounds good, do need some shots of the conex all the way around for future references on camp projects. If I get a more reliable vehicle in February, I might try to come up for red dawn.

Right on, that'd be great if you could make it. If not let us know and we'll take care of anything. I wanna get there early so I can get a jump on any projects. Might even take a shovel down so I fill in some low spots and also diminish that dirt pile you guys were talking about getting rid of. I wanna try and camp close to the main area so we can have the base radio close by and I want to bring a large fan with me for us all.

That would be outstanding
