If anyone needs a stove or lantern or cot or whatever speak now. If someone wants to come sat and does not have the tent/gear etc it looks like I will have some space in the camper for a couple or 1 single. May have more room but the beds are taken friday night and I have offered up one bed to one member sat night. This of course includes breakfast sunday morning and lunch sunday afternoon. You will need to bring sleeping bag/blankets and your best pillow. [Coffee]

PM me if you have an interest.

:( damn and i love me some tacos :(

It actually looks like I might make this event. Its looking damn good that I'll be there on Saturday, and I'll bring some long distance shooters and a few competition pistols. Ever tags a 8" plate at 600 yds with an AR? It's good times.

OK gang. Taco feed around 6 PM sat at the white camper. I think it will be the only one there. Tacos, beans, rice and all the fixins. I have to start a little early so if all the members that are eating could be there by 5pm so I have a rough idea how much I am going to cook. I have enough for 30 but my gut tells me 15.

If we do this next year I am sure that our "community organizer" will plan it a little earlier in the year. [Beer] I look forward to seeing everyone. [Coffee]

I'm for sure coming unless hell freezes over. Let me know if you need anything.

I'll shoot you a PM with my number in case you don't still have it, you can call if you get in there and find yourself needing anything.

Cheers!

It is that time of year. Anything past the 1st of OCT is a crapshoot. And I would be OK. I could stay till wed. The trailer is packed and ready. I just see us getting up there and then getting snowed in sat night.

Right now I am leaning to killing all of friday/sat and let's see what is on the ground come sunday morning. If it is fine then we can have a clean up, if not then nobody got caught. The risk assessment side of me says that this should be put on hold. I will go ahead and think about this for a few hours.

I was planning on heading over for Friday afternoon, spend the night, shoot Saturday then head back Saturday afternoon - (got my own camping gear and food stuff)
If this is called off for today then I might be able to come over around noon Sunday if it's still on and if people show up.
I'll shoot a PM to get on the group contact list.
10-07-2011, 08:12

Cofi I think that is the best plan for now. Take a look gang and if it is clear on Sunday we will try and have a short clean up. I am going to call this. We will not have anything going Friday or Sat.

Now if anyone wants to go on there own knock yourself out. I just think that with what I know about early fall and late spring weather it is better to err on the side of caution.

Maybe check the conditions tomorrow morning and then decide? Not looking pretty though.

DAMN! My mother in law is in town. This is taking away my excuse to get the hell out of dodge on Saturday. Now I have to adjust fire, and release the creative thinking penguin from its cage.

My thing is tent camping you can get away with waiting to the last min. Taking the trailer out for one night is a royal pain. I normally do not even bother with it and my tent is in Oregon right now.

It would be a mad dash trying to switch gears at this point. Look to the spring and we will try this again. I think with a little more planing that this could be a great event. Now to winterize the camper.

I do know that if we do plan for one next year that there will be more people show up.

Too bad, but better to be safe than sorry.

Maybe plan it for mid June. That's when it needs it the most that I have seen.

Over the winter, talk to the boys down the road, see if maybe they could get a roll off dumpster at a strategic location. Or, at least one of their big trucks.

bummer this didn't work out- I was trying to fit it in my schedule, but everything seemed to be against it- I've got an 8:30am commitment on Sunday, and now my well pressure tank is leaking...

The idea of camping in snow sounds great to me (I know, many of you think I'm sick in the head- just call me Alaskaboy like everyone else does) but agree that you can't really clean up with snow...

I'll see if I can break away Sunday afternoon and head up there...

I was still planning on heading down Sunday morning. I don't have a 4x4 so if there is too much snow I was just going to head down to the springs and then up to south site. Thats a good point if there is snow we are not going to be able to do as much as we had hoped. I guess we could just say its on and hope for the best.

Its friday and they cannot really tell if the stuff will dissapate or not by sunday. The weathermen have to call it what might happen. Ok, maybe i just hope we can get together...

Like Marlin says june would be a good one. Just have to plan and we can make it a big event.

Damn.

I passed on a range day today to get ready since I've been on PTO in Vegas the past three days. :D

I suppose if I can skeeve off work one more day I can still get to the range today although it's windy as hell.

I'm still good for going down Sunday if the weather cooperates.

We used to do our first camp of the season on Memorial Day weekends and have faced these weather issues. FWIW, our favorite spot was Wildcat - SSW from Deckers down on the North fork of the South Platte.

Wanna go to Pawnee tomorrow? I have a new pistol I was hoping to play with too!

Well, I was really hoping to go. I even took the day off from work, but no big deal...I will definitely keep an eye out for a reschedule when the weather permits. It will be a day well spent with the wife & little one. Thank you again for putting this together, I think the response was excellent. [Beer]

Not sure where Pawnee is, however Saturday is a no-go for me, My oldest son has a football game, Sunday however I may be down. How far is Pawnee from Littleton?

Sad, but probably a good decision... Sunday I'm booked (gigs, church, etc)... so "next time".

Agreed, I never committed because I know how my life is, especially on the weekends- My youngest daughter has a tackle (Yes, TACKLE) football game at 12:30 Sat... for the next 5-6 weeks, and I was volunteered to do sound at a new campus our church is opening in Oct in Florence, and training is my gig at 8:30 on Sun

but I'd like to thank Alxone for the work he put into this... it is a noble cause...
