| The folks at Lazy A Campground have a beautiful spread, and they put on a nice contest. A bit wet with 2 inches of rain from the tropical storm, but an hour East got 7 inches! Lotta Bull and Smokin' Triggers came to compete, and make sure to keep everyone on their toes. Big congrats to Bill and Just Smokin' Around on their big Grand! Congrats to Mike and Debbie of Lotta Bull on the reserve grand. |

Lazy A Campground made a beautiful setting for a contest. |

|
| We had three canpoies set up in our camp in anticipation of tropical storm Hanna. |
Lotta Bull, one of the country's top teams, showed up to keep everyone on their toes. |

|
| This area in West Virginia is among the prettiest around. |
The campground barns had very interesting textures. |

It was inside an old barn. |

|
| The sunset, with a few clouds provided by the oncoming storm, was pretty incredible. |

| And the rain. We lucked out, as an hour East of us got 7 inches of rain, but we only got a couple inches here in WV. |
Roy watches the rain fall while turn-ins approach. |

After all the work is done, Brian and Roy (of Tarheel Smokers) exchange stories. |

|
| Chris was intrigued by all the cool textures and spent some time getting some cool images. |
Another artsy fartsy shot. |

| Hanging out with friends Wess and Sally and waiting for the awards to start. |
Joel made a surprise appearance as well, which was nice since Chuck and John both could not make this one. |
|
|
|
| Lots of musicians on the grounds, and Bluegrass bands would fire up any place at any time. |
Finally, the awards!! Dizzy Pig landed a 2nd in Chicken and a first in Ribs and we thought we had a chance to win it all. Ended up 3rd overall and the celebration began. |
