The best idea is for more good folks to attend the Quemado Gathering II.

The 'Fire Shindigs that I have attended are fun for all family members, although it is likely more enjoyable if said participants know (at least a little bit about) and appreciate the outdoors, photography, conservation, shooting and/or fishing, camping and starry nights. You will be invited to shoot some awesome firearms, so bring what you have, including eye and ear protection and a good attitude.

Hospitality and friendship are routinely noted.

Hard to find better entertainment for the money.

Help (transportation, car-pool, "scholarships", etc.) is available for those who need it, but they may need to speak up. . . . . nobody does a Dunn & Bradstreet on the campers.


However, everybody is expected to contribute in some way, such as respectful conversations, polite behavior, helping out with chores, cooking specialties, hospitality for the less-mobile campers, camp set-up or break-down, and whatever. Sort of like at home. There is a big difference in a good camp and the other kinds, so help where you can and ask for it if you need somethin'.
