I am, too! It's a different hair each time so I have a different excuse. Seriously, I really miss you guys and this Gathering. I am going to send my Howell rifles and some ammo so y'all can enjoy them, even if I'm not there to see it. Ed Well DARBY misses you... says you're the only one that will taste his food to see if I spit in it. Kent

Well my smiling deadpan will be there.... unless the Creeks rise etc...
Don't know if the wife can make it.... the hospital is putting in some software system, and her dept is a pivot point.... and some Einstein upper Level Management has screwed up the implementation and they are behind 60 days or more...so there may be a freeze on all vacations because of it...
She really really enjoyed herself there last year.... even moreso with the Grand Canyon excursion on the way home...
Let me know if I can bring anything beside my old Sad Sack Face...

My plans are to be there. It will take a lot to change them. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Hello All.
I'll be there again this year. Not sure if the wife will be attending this time. I might need to buy a trailer to entice her.
Paul, I'm going to try to get there a few days early. Maybe Tuesday, and for sure by Wednesday. I'll help with whatever tasks need taken care of.
Ed. We understand. Sure wish that you could be there. You will be sorely missed.
Kent- Any food assignments? Let me know. Maybe send me a PM. I'm glad to help out.
John. I might need to sit down with you and talk Blue Dot and .223 I have a bottle sitting around here that needs to get used up.
As for the rest of you, I'm looking forward to renewing our friendship.
Jeff

Unfortunately this one will likely never work for me as I head to Idaho for the summer. It sounds like a great trip.

C'mon Ed - you haven't even seen the "shoot" descriptions yet and it's not far. You'll probably need a break from ID by then and feel sure you would enjoy this unusual commotion.

I'll be there. Likely just me and the kids or just me. Those thunderstorms last year played hell with Brandy's migraines. She loves it up there though so there is a chance she'll come.

Paul, thanks for the post. Alan, a friend (Mike), and I are planning on being there. Randy, if young Mr. Alan comes and can get possession of some more homemade shine. I'd send him some money to bring enough... if it ain't breaking some inner'state hooch law. Kent Kent, it's against the law to make hooch, so I dont know what you are talking about. Must have us mixed up with some hooligans from somewhere in your past. But, if we find anymore of them quart jars, laying around, we'll try and bring a few.

Unfortunately this one will likely never work for me as I head to Idaho for the summer. It sounds like a great trip. It is about 1350 mile for me but we are going. We plan to get there a couple of days early and may stay a day late. Probably stay a day or two in Caldwell then head south. You can follow us if you want. It is worth tube trip.

No, they are not. My presence is required at a training conference in Seattle, WA that week and it begins on Friday. This is one I am pretty much required to be at. Ed Got a good friend lives down your way. Big guy, real big guy. How about I ask him to go see you and maybe break both legs. Then you will ha e an excuse not to go to Seattle and someone could bring you up to Quemado in a wheel chair.
