Everybody who attended now knows (if they didn't already) just how awesome the Fernburner is. I don't know if things could have turned out better, as far as the overall experience goes. I was lucky enough to arrive fairly early Thursday morning, to offer whatever assistance was needed. Ol' Bob and I got all the firewood for the campsite gathered, and took care of other minor course maintenance items. Then, in the late afternoon, we set out to play a round with Adam, Sara, Mick, Tim, and Trevor.
In a round that must have taken approximately FOUR HOURS, I was able to walk away with Ol' Bob's #1 Lucky Mud tag - after shooting some of the best golf out there that I ever have. We then had dinner together, and got camp set up.
The next day, everyone was up early to get all the course looking its best. Adam and Sara had a list, and Adam was great at delegating stuff to be done. I rolled the Thing all over the course, helping Mick and Tim move baskets, set up the mini course, post tee signs, move garbage cans, etc. After all was said and done, doubles seemed to go off fairly well (thank God I didn't have to throw), and everyone eventually got settled in for the night.
Saturday brought some of the best disc weather ever! And it sounded like it brought out some of the awesome discing as well. I personally shot my best round ever out there (+1) in the first round, and managed to place higher in a tourney than I had ever placed before (3rd). I was also able to help double-check scorecards, and get other things taken care of for Adam and Sara. But the highlight was presenting Ol' Bob and Jessica the money we raised with the bag tags. Thank you Adam and Sara for giving me a few minutes to talk before the awards. I appreciated it.
It was great to see so many people again - and see so many people up at the Mud. I had a blast, and I am already looking forward to next year!

I'll give it another couple of hours then head out. See you all there!
A big thank you goes out to YOU for all the hard work you put in. It IS appreciated! A big thanks to our hosts, Jessica and Sunrise, those who worked so hard on food preperation, the crew that came out to prep the course, (which was awesome) and to Adam and Sarah for once again providing one of the best disc golfing experiences anywhere. 
I felt pretty good about both rounds with some good drives, some good upshots, and SOME good putts. Now if I could just put them together in the same round.
