| Just a fantastic weekend on the lake. The weather really could not have been any better. Other local conflicting events kept the public numbers way down, but the competitors were well taken care of and it ended up being a great contest. Congrats to Shawn and Debbie of Stumpy Coals on their first grand, and a hearty slap on the back to Jack McDavid on their reserve grand championship honors! |

| Gas in New Jersey is not only much cheaper than back home in Virginia, but they pump it for you! |
Locals told me later that I should not have visited this part of Brisgeton, but I had an amazing fried flounder sandwich here at Raphaels. |

| The evening rolls around, and here we get things fired up! |
This was probably the coolest spot we have ever had in all 55 of the contests we have done. Just gorgeous. |
