Dave cooked our breakfast of eggs, hash browns, biscuits, and gravy. It was the warmest morning of the trip, but we still had some firewood left to burn, so we lit a fire and enjoyed our last bit of leisure time before we had to pack up.
Once breakfast was over, we began the packing. When we setup camp it took about 2 hours. Cleanup took about the same amount of time. Dismantling and rolling up the big tent took the longest.
I didn't have that much stuff to pack, but it always seems to take more room on the way home than it did on the way here.
Before we completely finished packing and cleaning up the site, we decided to do a little more shooting. I pulled out my 12 gauge shotgun, some clay pigeons, and a thrower. I couldn't swing the thrower hard enough, but Chris and Steve sure could.
We threw the entire case of pigeons, several boxes of 22's and allot of other pistol rounds before we were done.
I had brought a 1/4" steel silhouette to shoot at. It's a fun positive feedback device to shoot and hear the plink. But at one point, someone was shooting a 45 at it and the shrapnel coming off had enough force to actually fly back across the creek and into camp. SteveH has a small piece land on his back. It had no force to it, but it was so hot it burned through his shirt and stung him.
Once we finished shooting, we cleaned up all of our shells, targets, and casings and were ready to roll out.
