Folks, it's over, but the memories and pictures have just begun! 
Wanted to start a thread where everyone could join in and share with all the rest of us!
As of 11:15 this morning (Monday), it's quiet here. shhhhhhhhh Only the wind is blowing and even the chickens are off somewhere else. Forget Daisy and Pepper. They bit the dust at dawn. Probably won't budge until Wednesday afternoon!
I want to thank everyone for all their help and super joyful spirits! It really was like a reunion that you REALLY want to go to! And Ms. Brenda (the other Brenda), you're hired!! My relatives HAD to come and help
, but you busted your buns everyday behind the scenes doing the dirty jobs that even I didn't want to do! And she's just an A$$! Give her a job and she'd run out and recruit other A$$es and now and then some hunters, and before I knew it, it was like white lightning had gone through.
Speaking of white lightning, Thanks, Olegoat, for the sip. And the words of encouragement from all the hunters who stood around to watch. "DON'T take a deep breath!" over and over and over. Thought I was going to suffocate myself! Once was enough, though. Good different stuff!
I think I wore 'em out, folks. By Sunday afternoon at 3:15, at the last site, I went back to check on everybody and bring them some cold water. When I pulled in to the haunted house, it was like a machine gun battery had gone through. They were layin' down on the front porch sprawled out like dead ducks. Two diehards were still out digging, but their tongues were hanging out. An hour later, every one of them was back at headquarters, dragging and red as beets. ENOUGH! Two and a half days may just be the limit! 
Tables and chairs were picked up at 10:30 this morning, which opened up the greenhouse and showed all the battle scars. If it wasn't for the HUGE garbage bags that MrMorph brought us, we'd have overstepped our limit of 6 bags a week. Boy, is that garbage man going to be surprised! Dan did mutter something about "We gotta find a garbage man to make into a MDer before we do this again..."
We learned a few things: Cook light the first day, heavier on Day Two, and tremendously on Day Three! AND, keep Cheesecake Hunk VERY happy!! I think he brought almost 100 pounds of cheesecake, no lie! And we ate about 80 pounds of it and gave the rest as prizes. SUCH a sweetheart!
Ok, that's all for now. The portapotty man is here and Dan says I HAVE to come out and meet him and tell him all about the hunt. Wish I had a cork ...
Oh, and I owe River Rat big time! After falling into bed at 2:30 this morning, my phone rings at 8:00. "Oh, are ya'll still sleeping??" I didn't say what I owed her, but it ain't gonna be pretty!!
More later ...

But gosh, what a great time Noodle! You and Dan have a beautiful place there and thank you so much for sharing it with us. 
Can't wait to see you all again!
I'd say he was pretty happy with that! 
, tales and music were impelling. Seeing folks previous finds that have been posted on here in real life where I could feel and touch them was amazing. The skills and talents others shared with me I am forever grateful. Seeing the excitement of those in our next generation as they dug targets was priceless.
