I just threw my wool britches in my bag. That's a halfway good move Ed - the other halfway good move may be putting them on for Friday. That forecast is not getting any better. Sat and Sun look good.

Bob - if you don't zip or tie tight that antiquated shelter tonight, you may have a javelina or two as bedmates by morning. Never heard one snore, but they sure do smell funny.
Ranger - we can gin up some scary snake doings if you want to take the good wife to a higher level of interest.
Miles, my friend, I can GARONTEE you that the term peckerwood was not in any way racist where I grew up. Actually, I guess that person was a pecker thief. Anyway, I'll protect the newer/bigger one a lot better - no more decorated hats onto public racks. As for your making those earrings for Janet, that is one first class creative idea and I can't wait to see your concoction - and her face when you present them.
Getting near bed time here if M and I are going to get the early start we intend. Looking forward to joining all of you critters.

The lovely and talented Ms Niki has a speaking engagement in ABQ tomorrow and again Friday morning, so we will head for Albuquerque in the AM, spend the night and head for AZ as soon as we can on Friday, like @ 1200.
I-40 West from ABQ, Holbrook turnoff, Heber, Payson, and Punkin Center, Marriott. ETA 6 PM if all goes well. I will bring a camp table. If something is needed (alcohol, gunpowder, flour, tortillas, etc.) from the Big City, text Wife's cell # at 575-642-4751 and we will try to round up such things.
Niki is on a special diet for a GI affliction, as per Mayo in Phoenix. She will be bringing her own food, mostly, but really enjoys the company of this bunch of reprobates, so don't tease her too much. She still likes elk, deer and beef, so we will probably re-up for another 40 years.
Temperatures here have dropped again tonight. We will be anticipating cool weather in AZ and warm conversations around the campfire. Safe travels, amigos.

I first thought of them for Maddy, but I don't want Her mad at me. I figured that if Janet would not get mad at you, for what you pulled last year, I would be OK. I still wanted to run it by you first. miles

It is a beautiful, sunny clear morning in Tonto Basin. The air is filled with the aroma of cooking bacon and sausage. The temp at 9:00 am is in the high 40s but quite pleasant in the bright sunshine with no breeze.

We are missing you, too, Miles. Kaywoodie is in full form, so you know what you are missing. Our sides are starting to hurt from laughing so hard. Dave Price and Doug Wynn are here now, getting settled in. Still nice and sunny and clear. 58 degrees with a breeze at 2:10 pm.

Lots more rolling in now. OWL is here and Dennis and Ruby arrived and got their tent set up under the tree. Mark and Marcia from Benson, AZ arrived with their high-stepping all-terrain trailer. Paul and Maddie are delayed in Payson with a mechanical problem. Hopefully they can make it in tomorrow. Lots of good friendship and fellowship is already taking place. The firing line opened today with some informal practice. The weather was nice today with lighter breezes. Let the good times roll!

Late night update: Paul and Maddie made it into camp after dark to an enthusiastic welcoming committee. Minor problems delayed them in Payson, but Paul dug out some tools and put his brain to work and solved the problems. All is well as the moon rises over Tonto Basin.

Dang. I sure hate missing another one of these gigs. This having to work for a living sucks out loud.
Have fun guys.
