Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2015 Colorado & Surrounding States Campfire Gathering

KC and I are organizing the 2015 Colorado & Surrounding States Gathering. We decided to host it at the same location as the 2013 Gathering. This should provide easy access for those coming from the front range and will be easy to find for those who are driving from points farther away.

There is room for LOTS of rigs, tents and campers. The campsite area is shaded by old-growth Ponderosas. There is a 400+ yard range located adjacent to the camping area.

We'll start a list of attendees and get volunteers for equipment and food as we get closer.
