Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Quemado 2015...

Miles, Blue and Randy are at the site - getting settled nicely and prepping for the rest - like, raking the turf so it will absorb as much BS as possible. They all look good, and happy. Bob should be along soon.

Well, guys - everything went to pot (timing-wise)
Cattle were supposed to ship today, but it rained late last evening. Buyer wants to take delivery Friday.
Only way it's going to work is - "The Warden" takes grandkids and trailer to ABQ, picks up son (who's been itching to attend)and he drives down. (He's better at backing and keeping or getting out of tight spots) This old geezer comes down after the job is done.
Please help them get set up, as I can't.
Kent - if you could get the teepee, and help my family get situated, I'm sure "The Warden" would help cook
I'd surely appreciate it, and will make a point of visiting with my friend Ken, again.

Leavin tomorrow early morning.

Poor car is a saggin...

even loaded up horseshoes...

Absolutely, we'll get there sometime friday afternoon.

If someone thinks about it, we can probably use some charcoal. I left all mine at that Tonto basin camp and by the time I went back it was gone. We're going to fire up a couple of ovens for some biscuits.

Dennis just regular old matchlight/kingsford type stuff or hardwood lump charcoal?
I can grab a big bag...

Regular briquets- not match light, not lump. Briquets work best for dutch ovens.

That will work. I will grab a bag, and bring it out to camp Friday afternoon when we come.

"The Warden" and crew will be there Friday afternoon, barring misfortune. I hope to make it late Friday night.
Any last minute needs?

Saturday we are making pull pork BBQ, chicken, probably some fish and I'll make potato salad. I don't eat cole slaw so if someone wants some bring a tub.

Be leaving' this afternoon and see you fellas tomorrow.

Got water for pecan trees and cotton yesterday at 9:30 pm and finished at 2:45 am this morning. That along with a 4 hour drive,I'm gonna be cranky,grumpy and downright tired.

Going to bring a .375 H&H,.243 Win and Judy has the .17 HMR,cause I didn't know if I could make it at the time she left.

Turn that frown upside down...

Headed in a little bit, be up there this afternoon.

Kent

Is this different than normal?

Yup,usually just cranky and grumpy.

Well I'm on my way up to quemado... and adios...

Kent

I had hoped to pop over with my son, since it is only 160-170 miles from where we now live, but for some reason my gun safe combination is not working, so I cannot access my non-scoped big bores –– and one of the cars is in the shop so I don't want to leave the rest of the family car-less.

Hopefully, next time I will be a little batter organized. Have a good time, everyone.

Had GREAT time at Quemado 2015!
