Memorial Day Weekend.
Mother nature's cooperation beat out last years rainy mess by a long shot. Highs in the Upper 80's, lows in the upper 60's, and two days of sunshine equals a perfect weekend.
Six members made it up to Buchanan this year for the Clubs two day Spring outing. It's always great to get away and get a bit of color.
This year's common was a bit special as Frank, (club Treasurer), donated some of his Alaskan Gold to add to the common operation. Thanks Frank.

By late friday afternoon everyone was setup and the guys were off checking out Beech Creek. Not much changes here year to year, but there are some locations better then others, and by early evening spots were picked out.
About 9:00am Saturday morning Tom's Pickup was put to use bringing the Dredges to the sites upstream. Two trips, and a short time later motors were running and everyone was having fun, ( working fun ).
