The annual Campfire gathering at Armijo Springs Campground in the Apache National Forest of New Mexico is scheduled for the weekend of July 28 through 30, 2017. Participants should plan to arrive as early and stay on as long as you would like, and the planned opening event will be the evening meal at about 7PM on Friday, July 28. Breakfast on Saturday AM, the evening dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday also are prepared meals. Be sure to bring your own in-between snacks and plenty of drinks (some to share?) for the weekend.
The surroundings are excellent and level camping spaces are ample. Running water is not available. There is a forest service toilet at the campground. Assistance and items needed will be identified as this thread progresses - so please stay tuned.
Planned shooting events will take place on Saturday but there will be plenty of space and time for safe shooting throughout the weekend. Complete descriptions of shooting events will be posted later in this thread and will include shoots for rimfire and centerfire rifles of different sorts at ranges from 35 to 300 yards, and probably some handgun events as well.
From the north, drive US 60 to Quemado, NM and then drive about 18 miles south on NM Route 32. After marker 24 and at the sign for Armijo Springs, turn left/east on A021 driving about 4 miles until the “Y” and turn right to the campground.
From the south, drive NM Route 12 to Apache Creek and then drive NM 32 northbound past marker 23 then see the sign for Armijo Springs. Turn right/east onto A021 and follow same info as above.
If you have questions, please chime in. We will be aiming to have a final head count by a week or more before the gathering..
MR. BIN - IT WILL BE VERY HELPFUL IF THIS POST IS MADE A STICKY. THANKS.

Probably not going to make it this year. My son flies back from Maryland on July 29th and I've got to pick him up in Denver.

Erik - can you get him to fly into Alb on the 28th? If so, both of you could do the entire gathering. You will be missed if you don't make it here.

Unfortunately, he's traveling with a group, so we don't get to pick airports and dates. There's an outside chance if my wife's schedule works out.

Me too, though possibly only for a day or two, if I do not figure out how safely to board my dogs.
I might even be able to bring some of my family if I am able to work around their own travel plans!
You might like to see a few of my oddball guns, too. Norm

Anjin - maybe bring the dogs? They probably would have some canine company.

My attendance, this year, is still in question. If I can find someone to stay with, or at lest periodically check in on Steph, I may be able to swing it. But she's really to the point where she shouldn't be alone for stretches over 10-12 hours.

We will try - but, our scheduling ahead is in question, at this point. (Even more than normal)
