I figure we'll give the wetsiders a chance to recover from the LCR, and set the SCR at least 3 weeks past it.
As in the past, the dates will get set by popular vote. May 12th-14th May 19th-21st Those needing directions, IM me or The_End. |

Gimme some time to recover from LCR....so May 26th - 28th.
What's the weather like that time of year? How far are we talking of a drive? |
|
nwammoguy-
Spokane, but if you look north the actual spot is nearer to Tum-Tum. A wide spot in the road. I can provide maps, directions, ect. What's the weather like that time of year? How far are we talking of a drive? PCR- Generally, the weather is 10 degrees cooler at night, 10 warmer in the day, or at least that's what they tell me. May is usually pretty dry, the Cold to warmer transition takes place in April, although it's not unknown to has the last little bit of snow on the ground at Easter. Your drive time? 4.5 hours to Moses Lake, 1.5/2 to Spokane @77Mph Avg., another hour north from there to be generous, so around 6 or 7 hours. Depends if you radar detector is as good as your PC |
|
It is 4.5 hours from Seattle to Spokane, not nearly that long to get to Moses Lake! My best time to Spokane was just under 3.5 hours from Seattle...... |
|
|
Really- I'm also including the Stop for coffee, the stop for gas and coffee, the stop for lunch. I take my time on that road trip, but 3.5 hours? Unreal man! It's like 90 miles from Spokane to Moses Hole, and around 230 from ML to Tacoma.....IIRC my best time ever was around 4.5 hours Wait a minnit-I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hour early check in a SeaTac- 1.25 Hour flight, w/ headwind 15 minutes at the baggage terminal- 45 minutes at the rental counter- 10 minutes to downtown Spokane! |

Haha! But no, that sub 3.5 hour time was for driving, total miles were like 285 or 290. It was Christmas Day a few years ago, driving the wife's VW Passat with the 1.8L turbo. It was a beautiful, crystal clear day, road conditions were perfect, and we had the road to ourselves. No cops were seen for the entire trip, and I think maybe 20 cars in either direction? Being Christmas day, there really wasn't anywhere to stop anyway. I think we did stop at one rest stop for 5 minutes.... Our best time in that same car to the Tri-Cities was 2 hours and 15 minutes (200 miles.) Some parts of the Vantage highway saw speeds of 105.... We woke up late for our nephew's baptism, and had to haul ass to make it in time. Arrived with 10 minutes to spare... I miss that car.... |

May 10th is my birthday so having the shoot on the May 12th-14th weekend would be fun.
|
|
I almost went out there today, but got stuck doing some chores
We'll let the poll ride for another week or so, but this looks like it's gonna be it! |
|
|
May 26th-28th teh suck ! Rifle match weekend..
12-14th is ok... |
|
So we'll see you, Cpt'n Destructo and the rest of the ANG crew Fri night? |
|
|
For drinking or shooting ? Should be able to make it friday either weekend to shoot... Will have to check work schedule, I might be also working weekend swing shift in may..I can ask LG if he was going but he might be shooting the rifle match too . |

|
Maaaaan- Brutha jus' can't catch a break! |
|||
|
hey my b-day is may 11th!! im definitely interested in going, will this be an actual range, or a secluded place? what are the chances we will run into any chupacabras? |
|
|
It's a semi secluded place, not an actual range.
I haven't seen any chupacabras out there but I hear they taste like chicken My birthday is may 30th looks like this is gonna turn into a big birthday bash |
|
Cool
With all of the firepower we'll have out there, the only problem we'd have with chupacabras will be digging out all the lead before we cook it. |
|||
|
Just ask The_End....I think he might have found a nest of them last shoot! |
||
|
Was that what was making that screeching noise. I am going to try to make it but it is a little far ahead for me to plane. |
|||
|
Wombat-
You'd better make or plan on not using your cell phone that weekend. Drunk Dialing ARFCommers have a habit of tying up the voice mail. |
|
I voted for the last weekend in May. Will be warmer then ( or so I've been told). Will try my best to make it over. Would be fun to see all of you on your stompin' grounds.

Speaking of voicemail- & communications-
I was talking with 9Millie, and we both wanted to know how many folks were coming from out of the Spokane area, or didn't quite know their way around spokane and out to "The site".... What myself and 9Millie were thinking was that we sorta needed to establish a time/place for everyone who needed to "handrail" out the SCR....this is a THREE part plan. Those coming form out-of-town might want to to IM me their cell number, I'll CC a list to either The_End or MackUSMC for redundancy. This is so we don't leave with a gaggle and then you're "lost in the sauce". My #2 suggestion was a time of about 4 or maybe even 5pm for those that had the day off, and a later time for those that didn't. As for a location, (#3) I'm open to suggestion (No, I will NOT go fuck a duck), BUT, for someone to take the Division St exit and head North on Division (which is also Hwy 395 & Hwy 2) to Francis Ave, then 10-12 blocks West and park at the Burger King would not be a bad location. Questions, complaints, bitches, gripes, whines, or adjustments anyone??????? |
|
So what date are we actually shooting?? Hell, I thought you guys were only confused when you were drunk.
Are we at the same place as always? Hey Matt, IM me with details when you get time. |
|
Same bat time & Chanel #9! The only details you need are in the poll and your/my sig line Errrrr- I mean YES Sargeant!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
I'll be planning on coming from this side if anyone wants to talk about carpool / convoy over there.
|
|
Hrmmmm, Flights from SeaTac to Spokane are only 98 bucks round trip!
|
|
I can just see it- Airline Rep-OK Sir! Is this your baggage? PCR- "Yep, these three "Guitar" cases....*I've got gunz!*" Airline Rep- OoH. (presses buzzer) TSA Official- [rubber glove snap] "Sir, you'll have to come with me"[/rubber glove snap] |
|
|

|
Matt what is the yardage there?
Your date is after the ISSC in Id, I'll see if I can make it. |
|
Depends. there's the 100 (Max 150) bowling alley, that's the site that was chosen last time as a "Hub", but if we clear a lane in the corner of the field, adj to the entrance.....saaaaaay out to the opposite treeline- 700/800? |

OK, I'm in.
I read all of the post but still can't figure out what the heck SCR means. No worries...as long as I'm shootin' stuff I'm happy. I do need directions though....I just moved up here not long ago. Thanks. |
|
I'll IM you directions-SCR Steven's County Regulars *NOT* a Militia Group.
BTW- Are you gonna bring some t-shirts? Part of the Eastside deal is a mini barter fair. |
|
The question is.....
If I go, will I come home or never to be heard from again? |
|
I will personally write you a Marque of Free passage. |
|
|
Gibby, it'll look nifty on the wall of your tent in the FEMA camp. |
