3rd Annual Toledo Bend gathering or is it 4th?

Well either way, the food and people were great. The fishing was not on fire but a few managed to catch some. RM George won big fish on Friday with the ONLY fish being caught, it went 1.66 lbs. Either D or Fishervet won Saturday with a 1.68 lber, neither one of them remembered who caught the fish, Knuckleheads! They had both decided to throw the money into go with the raffle so I guess it didn't matter. Well here are the pictures that I have. Yall are all welcome to add your pictures to this thread if you would like.

We really had a wonderful time. Met some new people and got caught up with the activities of the regulars. Many thanks to Papa Gene who drove the ladies around antique shopping on Saturday. We had a great lunch at Hemphill BBQ. :) Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year.

Had a great time! it was awesome meeting you all. can't wait until the next one. the food was amazing and the people... even better.

Big fun for sure, we certainly enjoyed it as always. While checking out, saw that six or seven cabins are booked already for next year for the event. Pavilion is a done deal. Pepop - glad you reserved a cabin to suit your needs - see you there.

Let's see - Ann went to Hemphill BBQ with Gene and the girls on Saturday (thanks Gene!). She brought home a pound of brisket for us this evening. Will work nicely with the leftover tator salad Bill made. Told you fellas I'm toting that home, even though there was little left. Finish that off tonight with a pecan pie Danny made for us. Ya'll aren't living right.

Great pictures of you all! I was driving south on I-49 early today and saw a trio of boats heading the same way, so I was checking out the drivers to see if I recognized anyone. :)

Randy, we got to give Mae credit for the pie this year. Hope you liked it. That was only the second time in her life she baked one. lol

If things go right, I won't need that new cabin but I got it just in case. Gerald & I had a great time though we had to leave before the fish fry. Looks like we missed a goodun! I knew I was in trouble when I saw the 6 steps up to our cabin. That first "up-down" really did me in! Thanks to Gerald for totin the load the whole weekend. He said "NEXT YEAR YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET RANDY TO CARRY YOU UP THEM STAIRS!" LOL! Thank you to the ladies & everyone else for making us both TRUELY feel part of the C.C family!

That's the way we roll Vern. See you next year there. Thanks so much for coming.

Randy can do it....no doubt in my mind

A couple of Toledo Bend camp threads are posted as a article on the home page folks

I would like to thank each of you for making me feel like one of the bunch. Thanks to Randy and Ann as well as the rest of you for the hospitality. Thanks Randy for taking me fishing. Great folks and great food three nights in a row. Hard work. Great cooks all around.

Nothing but a thing Gary, it's what we do. You were big fun in the boat with G, really enjoyed your company. G has reserved a spot in my boat next year, reserve your spot soon. Sure glad you joined us. Thanks for posting.

Randy spot is taken if it is ok with you.

Done deal Gary, will enjoy it once again.

I will get out of the boat right ....I promise lol
