Make a suggestion if anyone has anything they don't need and want to give it to another campfire member who might use it.. to bring it..
Right now cleaning up some stuff, I have a magazine for a Ruger American, 243 to 308 sized cartridges...
Before I gave my 223 Predator to Randy, having magazine issues, Ruger sent me a batch of magazines..
Somehow they thought my rifle was a 243 due to its serial number... so they ended up sending me 4 or 5 243 mags... I gave them away to other campfire members.. but this one here evidently was overlooked..
so whoever might use it, speak up... Cost is affordable... Obama "Welfare" Free....

Anyone bringing a guitar ? Maybe a few campfire songs ?

Almost forgot this - it has been noted that we should try to have a hanging or posted lantern or two located where we gather for the evening. I don't own such a rig. Can anyone bring one - or two? Thanks. P
I have a pair of orange stobe lights that can be pushed up in the air on a pole. Can see them from a long way out when it's dark outside.

The orange strobes would help folks find camp in the dark.
I am hoping to arrive Wednesday afternoon; Thursday afternoon at the latest.
As far as shooting at ranges past 150 yards, our present location, shooting towards the hill, doesn't have an easy, clear lane to 200 yards, or an easy way to get out there past the fence and the gully.
The Texas Rangers have a tradition of showing up at outdoor social affairs wearing their "BBQ Guns". These are not their duty handguns, but something a bit fancier, or unique, or just interesting; maybe real old, or so new others haven't seen one yet. And normally carried in a fancier leather holster. Sort of a "Show & Tell" kind of thing. "Look what I brought. What did you bring?"
I suggest members attending consider bringing a BBQ gun. Not trying to one-up each other, but just for fun and for sharing, and more stuff to talk about 'round the campfire.
A guitar sounds like fun, too. I am sure somebody in the group has some musical talent. Unfortunately, it isn't me. We will hear some coyotes singing, regardless.

I heard that there is going to be a black powder shoot, sort of a 21 gun type of salute to our friends.
I don't have any black powder guns yet, but I do have a bit of scrap lead I get from a local metal recycle yard. It was mostly pipes and some sheet lead I have melted, fluxed, and pour into ingots or bricks.
As of now, Looks like my attendance is about 95% sure that I will be there!!! I plan on leaving in the wee morning hours Tuesday. I will bring flintlock of proper bore diameter and possibly an 1895 of the proper flavor, with assorted accoutrements. As well as the rest of my meagre but humble camp. All required is enough ground for my 9'x9' canvas wedge tent.
I will get there, when I get there, barring any border crossing conflicts etc.

Bob, Cheryl found this old wine rack to put some of our cast iron on and then came up with this idea to make a display wall. So I built it yesterday afternoon.
Damn!!! Thats freakin' awesome!!!!!! Well done. Gotta go out to the shop and start attending to stuff for the trip!!!

I still plan on being there Monday evening, or Tuesday before 12noon.

I'll be there on Tuesday. I'll need to leave either Thursday afternoon, or Friday morning to head down to the valley for a short visit. My eldest granddaughter Evelyn has been begging to go camping. So, I'll be picking her up and have my "little buddy" with me as a shadow. I may need to bring up my "chicken dog" too. Very gun shy. I'll need to chain him up to a tree, or the truck. Very friendly. Just hates loud noises. But, I can't leave him at home anymore.

I'm working on getting a couple of pieces of top rail. Should be able to put the lights up 20', maybe 30' into the air. As far as singing goes, it's more like caterwauling from what I recall.
Well ? any musicians amongst us that would care to play ? Guitar ? Banjo ? Ukulele ?
Here's a camp favorite from a few years ago.
