coar15 meet and greet

[Ronin13]

Anyone interested in camping? Car camping I mean, so we could bring a keg in of course.

If we go into national forest we could shoot with no problems. I know of a good spot near Rollinsville that's easy to get to and is huge so lots of guys could camp there.

I'd be willing to coordinate, give directions, etc.

Count me in for whatever! I love pancakes, I love BBQ, I love camping, so I'm G2G!
Problem with the camping idea though, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but what is camping without a campfire? With this state-wide fire ban I would think that we're loosing a vital component to the whole camping experience... still would be fun, but I'd rather us be dimly lit by a nice fire to make Somores over instead of awkwardly lit by headlights... Just saying.
Count me in either way!

Yep. It does suck. I'm on the fence about it. Helps keep me from paying taxes to put out wildfires. But it also keeps responsible groups from having managed camp fires.

Unfortunately, those idiots who light a fire that spreads ruin it for all of us.

I like it, but while I love this community, I don't know each and every person that might go. I would want some strict rules in place for safety. If we have a keg AND guns for some shooting, there would need to be strict no mixing alcohol and guns rules in place, and expect everyone to follow them to the letter.

I dont think it needs to have a bunch of rules and stuff.. I say we just bring up what we want to shoot, have a little "top shot" fun thing in the morning / early afternoon or something.

after that, we put the firearms away, and get out the cards and drinking games! lol..

if somebody got stupid, there are enough of us there to quietly explain that they need to straighten up. hahaha. we could even do it without "involving" the website if need be.

we could call it the "random group of people who met online meet and greet!" lol

Yeah, no fire does kinda suck. Dogs and burgers in a park sounds good.

What about Clement Park some Sat or Sun? Sorta central location I would think...?

[Sparky]

That sounds good also.

[El Caballo Loco]

I agree with Jayock.

As a non drinker I'm down with that and would probably leave once the drunkeness started to come out anyways.

This might be a dumb ass question, but I don't know, so I'm going to ask.
There's a ban on all open fires, but does that include fires in chimineas also? Or is that considered open fires as well...

[Tinelement]

So here's a thought.....

I remembered I was gonna do a meet and greet a while back too.

So....... What if we find someone to host a north meet, and someone to host a south meet. Could meet maybe once or twice a yr. That puts Denver guys in the middle to choose from north or south or add a third central location. Is this to confusing???

Then once a yr, we could plan a "whole family" meet for a camping/shooting/BBQ get together??

I can offer to host a north meet. Plenty of room at the shop to hang out.

Just throwing it out there!

Exceptions include- Fireplaces, standalone firepits (like what you have built professionally), campfires in the big metal ringed pits, grills, and stoves. So basically if it's in something built and designed to keep fires contained then it's okay, but your throw together dig a hole camp fire is specifically banned.
