It's been a while

Lord have mercy, I guess I forgot all about this thang!! Lets see, I've had another Peckerwoodstock, liked to been rained out, but it happened.
Don't know if you've seen it, and I don't have a picture , but Cassie Davis painted the Texas flag on top of Stillwell's Camp. But the water was too high and we had the PWS at the bus camp.
I hit the big "50" and can't hardly believe it myself. I remember when......
Enoch Knight was the prez of PeckerWood Hunting Club, and every Thursday he's have a fish fry at Stillwell's camp. Mr. Phelten Morris, and a bunch old wise old men would spend most of the day down there. Back then they left the gates open after Febuary and didn't close them til Sept, so that the community folks could access the river . Why we can't get along like that I don't know. We should have family picnics and a couple work days every year.
Those days seem to be gone for good. I don't know how grown men can take an American Privilage like hunting and fishing and find all kands of ways to turn it into a big hassel. Take peaceful serene Mother Nature and twist it into a big headache. Jesus take the wheel, just have some fun and don't get in anybody elses way of having fun.
I don't go down into the woods looking for trouble. I don't get into nature to see a bunch of trash on the road, junk left at campsites, (including old buses), and for sure I don't get plumb off the highway to see a bunch of signs !! Don't do this, don't do that.. The only rule we need at all, is the one word," Consideration".
Sometimes things happen, and they should be set right. Stirring up a bunch of ill feeling amongst each other, our friends, family, and fellow members is not gonna help a thing in this world. Part of the problem, part of the solution.
