| Cassidy, John and Priscilla, Hank and partner (from Santee), Jack and Doug, Alex arrive. Raymo starts day with dawn shot hit! Target is hit about 4 more times during the day. Cassidy fires several BBMs. Raymo attempted the Finnish tent sauna again! Success was foiled by a too much wind and a leaky tent. Paco, Hank sing guitar round the fire. Camo kids shoot off a ton of fireworks. A TV with (probably DVD) was set up, and a small crowd gathered in a makeshift theatre to watch the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Festivities commenced well into the next morning.

| Seppo is the last to arrive. After a weekend of great weather, Jefe cooks up the last of his bacon over an open fire, using a creosote "spatula". A few more cannon shots, and Jefe takes off early, stopping only for a blueberry malt at Astroburger, missing the rest of the BBMs.
