A few more pictures from Saturday afternoon: Waiting to shoot A break in the action. Mark giving advice to his grandson. Oops! Someone forgot to start the timer. Jace shooting the steel, Mom calling the shots.

Continuing... A few of the kids' "fort" up the hill, under construction. Miles as we like to see him, in a pain-free interval Relaxing before supper. Ken Howell arrived mid-morning and stayed until early evening, looking about as chipper as he gets. Mark Lee, deep in thought (or something)

Miles, my heart goes out to you; drive 1000 miles to spend three days in a tent in misery and then 1000 miles back to bad news. Get better and God bless.

I've got a couple of the pics I took at the Largo, but I think Mudhen might a better one coming.

A few more--Saturday evening after the rain drove most folks under the big tarp. Blue and Ken were drilling a steel pig at 170 yds, while Brian was whacking it with one or more of his pistols now and then, Ken decided to try the .405 No. 1 The recoil is not that bad... Over under the tarp, lots of serious discussions Sunday morning coffee at Blue's trailer The picture being passed around is of Blue's grand-daughter who had just won the Colorado State Gymnastics Title.

Oh, and a gleaming white Chevy pickup, meticulously washed and waxed, showed up Sunday morning. The sticker on the rear window attracted a LOT of unwanted attention: The rumor was that it was attached sometime during the night by a person or persons unknown, but that sounds a little lame to me...

At The Largo roughly 8 hours prior to Mudhen's pic. For a second I almost felt guilty about putting it there, but then it passed and I laughed my azz off!

Just so everyone knows that "bumper sticker" is actually a vinyl magnet. Peel it off and there is no trace it was ever there.

Well Scott, that sign did leave a mark. Lots of folks in town and up and down the road saw it, but not a one of them honked. They did take very close looks - and photos - of the driver and are putting up warning posters, with photos, from here to Show Low. They don't want that driver associating with any local boy scout troops - just in case he has caught a touch of the malady.
