Lunch/Brunch – Prepared by Sue Marshall with help from Annie Hoagland and Gigi Harrow who camped for the night at her house. A lovely breakfast with a great variety of food including several kinds of salads and home baked biscuits and gravy.

It started out nice and cool. No wind at all and very dry. What little wind there was came from the South. Barometric pressure was falling. The temperature started at 46 deg. F and warmed all the way up to 72 while we were hunting.

From the parking area we headed west into the woods. Eleanor went into the deepest part of the woods while we followed along on the top. She went back and forth through the woods and not a hound spoke. Then she went further to the west and south and still nothing. We finally gave up and headed in for a great lunch.
