I think Ken (elkhunternm) said he was going to be there.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

Going to try and be there. We'll see what happens next week on the farm and weather. Good news Ken - list edited accordingly. Does anyone have some of those colored clay pigeons you'd like to get busted? If so, bring 'em. I have some frames that will hold those for fun .22LR, or handgun, or other shooting - maybe for kids - and folks who like to see stuff blow up.
Again - can anyone bring a pop-up shelter to shade the shooting bench area?

That thing has a "twanger" - a resettable "twanger"? And you are bringing it to the gathering?

Paul, are you talking about the biodegradable clay targets, usually shot with a shotgun after being thrown down range? If so, I got a case I can bring.

Yes, Randy, those are the clays I meant - they are about 4 to 5 inches in diameter and usually are an orange color - the brighter the better, in this case.

Paul,
I'm pulling things from all over the property here to pack up to head down there...
I have one of those pop up canopies we can use for the shooting area...
actually I have a couple, I'm going to be using one, and we can use the other for the shooting area.
Bringing my trailer and solo'ing it, I've more than got enough room...
( at least currently, you know how that goes, but if it get packs early it'll make the trip..)
its a 12 x 10 if that'll work.
I'm leaving here Sunday and it should 2 to 2.5 days down there...1300 miles...
Addendum:
Is there a need for a weed eater??

John, thanks - a 12x10 pop up will be at least 12x10 better than what we were able to do last summer. We'll be looking for you by mid-week.
A need for a weed eater? Nah. C'mon now - Kent's cooking is better than that.

Just a thought. It is so-called monsoon season now in New Mexico and Arizona so take the necessary precautions.
It may not rain much where you are, but in the mountains, water accumulates rapidly and can come quickly from far away. YouTube and news media are already showing flash floods around Albuquerque and we already have a body count in other areas.
Over here on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, east of Albuquerque (known as the East Mountains), we have be getting thunderstorms and 30-60 minutes of heavy rain almost every day for a week. Even some good-sized hail.
I hope that Armijo Spring area is getting its share, but one does need to be careful. I was in the Belen area two days ago, which is flat and very close to the Rio Grande. The river was low but there were many signs saying watch for water in the roads, which apparently do flood. Cheers! For what it's worth, The Weather Channel today predicts that Quemado with get substantial rain all week to the following Monday after the Gathering. Norm
