Is there ever going to be an Iowa get together like there used to be in years past? If I remember correctly guys would meet at Okoboji grill back in the day. Just curious as I've never really met anyone one from the forum. I'd be in. I met quite a few good folks back when we used to do that. |

42nd and University seems to be the home corner for a lot of us. I'd say Godfathers, or Jethros would be a good location.

We'll have to figure some dates that would work and then narrow it down from there.

Depending on the date of the event, I'm in. May I humbly suggest Fawn's (Asian food) near Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines. Otherwise, Jethro's is good too.

I would be up for it. Also I would throw Smokey D's out there. It's right off the interstate and their BBQ is way better than Jethros IMO. Jethros has better wings, but nobody can touch Smokey D's burnt ends....

Aaron, owner of Goodsons, has that new pizza place just across the corner. If we do a get together there, he has some crazy fucking hot pizza challenge. I'll make an ass out of myself and attempt it. He told me he couldn't even finish 2 of the 4 slices, and that was not even following the 15 minute time limit he has on the challenge. |

Just remembered I tried getting something together in the Wells Fargo area last year-was planning on going down to get pictures of the osprey nest, weather was uncooperative on all my days off. Planning to try that again this season.

Fuck yeah! I'm still down on any Friday or Sunday to come meet up for that! Sister in law just bought a house in Des Moines, hoping to take a weekend off and go see her, and add the nest trip to the weekend. If it works out, spend some time at the nest for pics, then eat somewhere close. Will definitely post dates and details. If we go for a weekend we'll have two days to hope for good weather instead of one "weather permitting I'm coming tomorrow" day. |

Planning to do my best to make it this season, IIRC they lay their eggs just before the eagles in Decorah start exercising their wings so there's plenty of time to kick ideas around. Any other interested members will be welcome and I'll have at least one extra camera, possibly two extras that will do the job. I kind of found out location of that nest late in the season last year.

They are usually pretty good. But goddamned if they don't try my patience sometimes. The pizza is pretty good IMO - used to be Jersey Guys IIRC. Maybe it was Jersey Brothers, IDK. Either way, I'd like to do a get together for sure. |

Have been checking the Wells Fargo osprey cam, the adults have shown up on the nest. Hoping to have things work out somewhere around a week after any eggs hatch.
Of course, for anyone who wants to drive NE for a meetup and photos, the Decorah eagle nest is a great palace too. I'm within 45 minutes and have 4 other nests that I know of within 15 miles. Shit, I'd be up for a run to Decorah with a couple carloads and light my grill in the backyard afterwards. |

were you guys wanting to meet and eat together or meet and shoot? if you want to use my range out here, i'll host. if you'd rather meet in town that's cool too. hadn't done an arfcom gathering out here at the shop in a few years. reckon we're due if that interests folks. otherwise, pick a time and place and we'll make it go. |

Sounds like an ARFcom potluck range day will work out for everyone, Septic is a great host and Yammers pork butt is to die for. I'll check with Septic on his availability for May/June as this is a busy time of the year for him.
