"2016 canoe shoot report

Hey All, Well the WOTLM’s hit the hill running. Randy and Britt led the charge and arrived on Wednesday. Rest of us were to meet between 10:00 and 11:00 Friday morning in Leota. Our total number was to be nine in all, but when we arrived at the meeting place and proceeded to the hill we were only seven in number. Lyle had overslept and we went in with out him or Jim. Jim had a better offer and decided we would have to do without him. Lyle arrived later in the afternoon. Timmy Youder accepted the burden of upholding the WOTLM honor and is the "King of the Hill !”. Plus he is also the Hawk champion! With Lyle a close second for the coveted paddle with one less hit than Tim. Over all with first pick from the blanket was Allen Pecan, & right behind him was Alex Allen. With the rest of us falling in behind them with lower scores. Luck shot was Alan Pecan, with Alex Allen the knife winner. Winner of “Best Camp” was WOTLM camp of Tim, Steve, and myself. Prize was a rain poncho which was given to Steve as Tim & I already have rain gear. We of course had euchre games, and the normal frivolity along with a toast to the birthday boys Clarance Craver, and Gucci, with Lord Calvin being absent. With rain all through the night the dawn looked less frightening, but as the morning preceded along it was decided to have the blanket early. But, to no avail after the tents were down, it rained again so we left camp wet any how. Well there are the highlights as I recall. Good camp, and another good weekend with good friends. Until next we meet, keep em in the black!

AMM WINTER CAMP POEM

Thru wind, rain, snow and slop.

The WOTLMs will party until they drop.

With straw below and cloth overhead.

We'll be there when others are dead.

So in the ice, frost, wind and snow.

Off to the AMM WINTER CAMP we all go.

The wilderness boys will shudder with fear.

Just thinkin the WOTLM boys will be near.

So gather your plunder, gun and tea.

And get your sorry ass to the WOTLM MARQUEE.
