That looks like a beautiful place with great company, have fun y’all. 👍👍

Very sad news that this will be the last year for Army-Joe. Julia and I have always enjoyed our time up there as well as the great company. We plan on attending again this year, barring any unforeseen circumstances..

Kent: We missed you last summer - if you’re cooking this go-‘round, I’ll be happy to contribute.

Miles: Julia sure loves that honey you gave her – we’ve been rationing it this past year, but sadly it will be gone soon.

Norm: Sounds like a great place, post some photos of the new place when you get a chance. Will Mary be attending again this year?

Ken: We look forward to seeing you and Judy.

Tracy: I hope you’ll be able to make the trip and Julia looks forward to seeing your girls again.

Paul: I seem to remember reading that you’re moving away from the area – does that have anything to do with this being the last get-together at Army-Joe?

Can't wait

The two events we have been having started about the same year but for two different reasons, one close to Ken Howell and the other Greg Cameron. I feel responsible for each as I was involved with starting them, unfortunately both Ken and Greg are gone now, but not forgotten.

We were stormed out of the last Tonto event and it just clarified that we need to combine to one in the summer.

Paul has moved to Az from the Armijo area, after this year we will no longer have a host there.

We will just move east into Az, lots of wide open space with the same kind of country. Dennis and I will submit some choices.

Those two locations have run their course, it's just time to centralize.

I'll send "The Warden" - perhaps she'll allow me to escort her!

Great news.

I need to put in to schedule the time off. I look forward to this event every year, to seeing old friends, and making new friends.

See you there.

Why do you guys always pick the time when I'm in AK salmon fishing? Maybe next time.

We tried doing it in mid July, the monsoon hadn't come yet, we had to 'camp' in a parking lot and drive to a shooting area, no fires allowed, forest was on restriction. Last year it was so bad the forests were closed but the monsoon hit with enough time the forest opened.

It's pretty much the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August every year, any later and it's pushing up against some hunting seasons, as it is bear starts about the same weekend here, my antelope hunt starts a few weeks later.

Kent

The first weekend in August works great for me. My girls are looking forward to camping. They learned a valuable lesson last year about leaving the tent door open during the rainy season. Thanks again to the grown-ups who helped them put the rainfly on correctly.

I am out for the duration as June, July and August have me in north Idaho every year. I am sure it will continue a great tradition.

Great news!

Thanks for the update and your continuing efforts to make these events successful, even having the cajones to cancel when it became obvious that last year at Tonto wasn't going to work.

Maybe I can even talk Miss Niki into accompanying me.

With great anticipation for seeing established friends and trying to remember most of their names!

Should be a good time as usual

It's on my calendar!
