Can you make sure the Miles has the dried the ground after the storm? I'd hate to pitch the tent on soft mud and wet grass... Pablo, that is a great idea... Miles dry me out a place too, if you dont mind! PS- 12' x 15' dry area for tent Miles has his 10' x 10' area all dried out. I'm not sure you can get him to move without a large amount of high explosive.  The ground IS wet here. We are expecting quite a bit of rain tomorrow, but Saturday and Sunday will be sunny and highs of 88F. Lows in the upper 60's. Miles and I set up a 20' x 30' tarp extension to the pavilion this afternoon, so we should be comfortable. Pablo, good to know you have the marshmallow issue handled. Ed

Dang...
The second "Ed toomanyletters" event I have missed, somehow the timing just hasn't worked. Maybe the next one.
You folks have a great time and enjoy the hospitality of Ed and his wife and through the fire we get to meet. Brian, you are welcome here anytime. I hope you can make the next one. It will be good to see you again. Ed

Hi ED,
I'm a good friend of Kevin S. here in Texarkana, TX and he mentioned to me about all this action going on and seems like alot of fun, I've been a 24 campfire member for quite sometime and was wondering would it be ok if I come on Saturday with my Wife and 2 Boys(6yr old and 9month old) if thats ok ? and I would bring what ever you need me to bring, and I plan on bringing my modified AR-15, Ruger Mark 2 pistol, 9MM Karh, and my cheap 20 Gaugeshotgun. If have to many guns please let me know. I hope to see you there.
Jeremy Jeremy, come on and bring your family! We'll start shooting around 09:00 AM, unless someone can't wait. Too many guns? What's that? Ed

Hey anyone coming has a sight drifter? I want to change the sights on a Beretta PX4 to trijicons (which would be placed later) I can definitely bring a hammer and a punch set. As soon as I start waving it around, Ed will panic and find you the right tool

For those that don't know End and his wife could use some prayers. A tornado has passed through and dropped a tree on his house. Everyone there is ok. We made it a 200 yds from his place and had to turn around because of a tree across the road. Tomorrow has got to be a better day.

Tried a few cell numbers and they all went to voice mail. Hope that the damage is not serious. Prayers offered.

Talk to Dennis, they were hit, lots of damage to house and some vehicles. No one hurt, no power. I'll start another update thread.

DUPLICATE POST FROM MUDHEN"S THREAD
Just talked with dennisinaz on his cell phone. No one injured and animals all OK, but it's a mess and main damage seems to be on Ed's home and Curdog's truck. Power is out - no well pump - someone went to Gilmer for water - they all need coffee this morning. Thank goodness the gang is there to help Ed and Barbara with the house and other cleanup.
Dennis said that, as usual, the guys are of great attitude and everyone is pitching in heavily. Clearly not going to be anything like a typical Campfire gathering Saturday, and all of those shooting plans may have been for naught. If you know more - please post. Thanks.

I'm glad to hear that there are no injuries, but saddened to hear of the damage. Give me a call if you need another set of hands.
