Throwing this out before I head to work...
It's time for whoever wants to have a get together and visit with Ken Howell to get'r done...
Some informal shooting, eating, comradeship... nothing in stone, throw out some ideas.
We will make arrangements/travel for anyone that wants to fly in to Phx. Motel available and I'll have my trailer/grill. We will have enough vehicles to get everyone around if flying in. Food can be handled easily.
Post your ideas for time or whatever... the week before and after the forth is no go for me, as I will be in Cali and then have my niece here for camping.

Bring your own beer and booze.
I don't think that there's any available here � and if there is, the selection is sure to be very limited. And the nearest alternate source is fifty miles to the west (Springerville, Arizona).

I'll be in Colorado 6/12-6/23. Other than that, anytime works for me...

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

Ok, looks like with Ben's, mine and Ron's restrictions, it will be mid July or after. I should have been more clear on mine... I will be in Cali the week of the forth, coming back on the fifth with my niece and then a week of camping.
Without talking with the others yet, preliminaries are...
Ken
Ron
Tom
Greg
Ben
Joe
Paul
Me
All are invited and I will make every attempt to make things a smooth as possible if you are coming from a distance. I am setup to cook for large groups, can transport... ect.
Nothing will be formal, though there is a range or public land to shoot steel.

I forgot, yes the town is dry... no big deal for me, but I'll likely have a cooler with beer/sodas for those that want it... anything else, bring your own.

Sounds good to me -- will address the dry issue. Might motor on down to Pietown, too.

There IS a bar about eighteen, twenty miles south of here, but I'm told that it's so pricy that a fifty-mile guzzle safari to Springerville is cheaper than an evening at Snuffy's.

Count me in. This is a rare opportunity and I want to be there. I will be bringing water and sodas and some of whatever else we need.
I can transport folks from Las Cruces vicinity via car pool and also can pick up the survivors who want to fly to New Mexico in these winds. There are several landing strips that might be useful and we don't want you to be afoot if you are headed to Dr. Howell's place.
PM me with special shuttle needs.

Cool Doc!
Anyway we'll let this cook for a couple days so all can notice and have input. Looks like the weekends of July 16... 23... or 30. Let's see what the best consensus is. come early-stay late, no time limit.
This is not a AZ, NM only gig... I live 20 mins from Shy Harbor in Phx and Border Doc can transport in NM. My home is open for layovers.

Dang. Sounds fun. There's a lot of my bootprints around Quemado... we used to fish Quemado lake for big pink-meat rainbows.
KRP, great of you to put it together and I hope everyone, and especially Dr. Howell, has a great time!!

Ken and I went to the lake just to enjoy a trip, it's close. We didn't fish but I guess there are tiger muskies and trout, possibly some smallmouth.
If the crowd wants to camp we could do it there.
