Victor Wootens Bass Nature Camp
I had a great time at the Vic Wootens Bass Nature Reunion camp last week. Got tons of great ideas, concepts from Victor, Anthony, Chuck, Steve and Dave. Some of it, I had simply forgotten. Those guys really have a gift of prying your eyes open and showing you the beauty.The camp followed up with an old fashioned barn raising. Actually a 2 story building, a 40′ dome, a barn cleaning, a kitchen and new floor in the caretakers cabin, and hundreds of feet of new trails. All this for the new Bass Nature camp facility that Vic and his wife just purchased. This got built in just over 2 days. Amazing the amount of great people that came from far and wide to help out. It was an honor to meet them all! Above is a pic from Jason Brynarski of Beek and Me taking a break from turning old barn beams into kitchen cabinets. Beek rocks, we started early each morning, and worked way into the night. He’s a great builder, and a fantastic bassist and all around great guy. We met at the first camp we did in 05, it was great to reconnect with him. And the fact that out of 100 plus people that volunteered to build, Beek and I were the only cabinet makers. Fantastic.
