Just a quick shout out so folks can know the date.

We will have our regular camp/shoot with the added addition of a service for our compadre Greg/crossfireoops.

This event started with myself and Greg at Greg's place, went some years there and then moved to Tonto when the range we used in SV changed their policies for our use.

Greg's service will be a cowboy camp memorial, it may be as short as my personal eulogy or as long as others wish to share their remembrances. We will toast and remember our friend and compatriot and share some tears and laughs.

Mostly we will shoot guns, eat, BS and enjoy each others company for as long as we can in this life.

We will put up location, same place as last few years, and details as this thread evolves.

I remember at the first dinner I looked up at his big flag he had flying and said... how bought we do the pledge with saying grace... he got this big smile and twinkle in his eye and said... let's... I was proud to say grace and lead the pledge that day. We do the pledge every camp since then.

I'm going to try my best to be there this year. We lost Bigbuck215 and crossfireoops this year. Ivan and Greg were good folks.

I can't see that far into the future for work, but this will go on the calendar and I'll try to make it!

Kent,

Thanks for the update my friend...

Hope to see the 'usual suspects' there along with some new folks...

Well, dang, I was hoping to make it this year even if I had to pass on my HAM hunt for javelina. I may still be able to, IF I don't draw a turkey tag over by Flagstaff later in the spring. Retirement is great in many ways, but medical bills this year and hopefully that hunt and I'll not be able to afford two long trips from the border of CA and OR to the Tonto. frown

If I don't draw a tag, perhaps I can make it to Tonto, visit with you folks and my brothers in AZ.

I too put the date on my calendar. I’ve been lurking on the Campfire for several years, posted little, but read it everyday. I don’t believe I’ve ever met anyone from the fire so this may be a chance to put faces with handles. I hope I can make it.

It would be an honor to be there amongst friends to share some stories and raise a toast to Greg C.

As I sit in 20'ish weather and 8" of snow at my place in north Idaho I see no reason why I could miss this. Might get my wife to attend.

Well if Ed is going I might be able to sneak in while no one is looking.

A quick weather check says the average is into the 70's during the day and down into the low 40's at night. I have a good bag and a tarp. I will survive..

Kent, thanks for the open invite. I sure wish I had gone to meet him in person. Please post/let us know what we could bring to the gathering.

Framed a gazebo yesterday for my dentist. He has a nice pool in his backyard (unheated). The guy I work with on this kind of stuff had his grandkids come clean up. As soon as they were done they were in the pool- for an hour! November 4th and swimming outside in an unheated pool- what a messed up year!


Looking forward to Tonto basin in Feb.

We've been lucky with the weather every year, it can get wet and windy in feb.

We supply food for Friday dinner through sunday breakfast. Those traveling just need to get there and have their personal items... and a fun attitude.

Some come early and I will have food if I come a day early for anyone there.
