I plan on being there around lunch time on Friday, can't leave here before 0700 since I drop a daughter off at school

I’ll be there about the same time Dave. Also planning on dragging my SxS up, so it’ll be a quick trip to pavement if anyone needs a shuttle up.

I'll head up that way around 3 or so on Friday.

I've got a few rifle plates to set out and several target stands.

Pares arrive for the Jeep tomorrow. Hopefully they go in with ease..... If things go well I will be down Saturday morning after I get off work.
Possibly up for camping on Saturday night.

Hopefully, you'll make it.

We won't be at the site until late evening on Friday; estimating 6:30.

Looking forward to it.

I am planning on staying Sat night.

I need to source some firewood today

Well the parts for the Jeep arrived at 1630. The transfer case is back together and it feels like it is working during the bench test.
Sadly I still need to install it, fill it and test drive.

Needless to say I will be down some time after noon on Saturday. Provided I didn't mess something up! If I messed something up we will have to plan a April or May meet up

So while reinstalling the transfer case, I noticed when it would not go back together that the shifter linkage is bent. Probably the root cause of my problems. Needless to say the Jeep most likely will not be in service till late Saturday or Sunday.

Any one up for a M&G on 4 or 5 April?

Sorry to hear of the issues.

You know what they say:

Just
Empty
Every
Pocket

I would offer you a ride but I am leaving this morning and you had mentioned you couldn't leave till tomorrow morning.

As to a M&G in April, I am sure some people would be interested.

I'm officially out for this one. Dont have the man power for me to take off.

Might be able to make April work

Posted: 3/6/2020 12:09:16 PM EDT

[#13]

We’ll miss you guys. I could probably do April too.

The weather is gonna be great for this one!

Dammit....I've got my daughter today and she needs to get back and forth to work. Be glad when she gets her license....

I'm out for this one guys, sorry.

Ditto on the bail. Mrs. Tinker is still pretty sick, so i'm going to stick around home. This is great idea and I hope we can have a few more of these to where we put some faces to names, and shoot too!

We flew near by about 0930 looked over and saw a few trucks back there...... Needless to say I didn't get home from work till almost noon.
There were lots of ag burns that we saw yesterday on the way back south(ish)

Looks like you guys had fun any way! Hopefully I can make the next one.

A great time with great people. The young ones really had fun, glad you guy’s brought them.

The steel had a rough day, but they will get thru this.

This one was mostly safe at 500 lol.
There were some impressive hits at that distance with irons though.

Had a wonderful time as did my daughter

thank all of you for the warm hospitality to a front ranger

I was glad to see the other kids there and they all did very well!

Our pleasure Dave. Glad you made it up with Sam. I bet we can find a place similar with a more user friendly road.

I know it was a haul for you and we’re glad you made it.

The road was just fine, as I was leaving I noticed a Subaru parked just about 100 yards in from the parking area and thought to myself "this is a great place, not gonna find Subarus up here"

would be nice if it was closer, but like I was telling the wife last night, there is a spot closer to my house but it still takes over 2 hours to get there.
