We're hoping Bob, and contingent, manage to stop by on their trip - at least coffee and a pee stop! Dependent on whether we take the Bent’s fort route or the Ft. Sumner route. Will keep you posted!

Right now I have 12 confirmed with a few more still not sure, I've had some that originally said yes have to bow out.
I knew this covid issue would take it's toll on attendance, originally had 30 people pensiled in but it's gone about how I figured.
I'm planning on my family including grandkids, so that's 5 plus the 12, might be a couple more.
Count on it being a camp and visit, I'm picking a spot on ease of camping and disregarding any shooting that may restrict that.
I plan on taking the kids fishing Saturday after breakfast, any other kids and adults welcome. Any other events will be up to the attendees.
This may change my spots I was thinking of.
Tomorrow I'll set a camp.

Donelle and I checked out motels and other options, and decided that we will be tent camping with you. Jace will be with us, but Jocelyn will not.

Caught up with Kent and told him it just won't happen this year
Gonna miss it cause this is always one of the highlights of the summer,
but work that disappeard at the the beginning of the beer flu is starting to come back.
Kick back at camp and enjoy this special group.

Who are bringing a trailer and who a tent/truck camp.
Don't want to pick a spot to small.
Went out tonight and all, I mean all bigger spots were occupied, its crazy, I've camped up here for years and never seen anything like this. Even went down a rocky 2 track and the only good spot was occupied by a motor home, jarred my teeth in my truck, motor home had some balls.

Kent, we will be tent camping: two tents and an awning. Not sure if yet if there will be one or two vehicles.

I'll probably just camp out in my 4 Runner, or the Pilot if I have bring that instead..
I won't need much...want me to bring some food or just my wallet to contribute?

Food is taken care of, nobody needs to donate or anything.
Whoever has a table we could use a couple.
No campfires or charcoal allowed, so it'll be pulled pork and fix'ins friday. Carne asada Saturday. I'll have hamburger patties and hotdogs to make for the kids if they'd rather have that.

I have my trailer parked on the rim, it's where I set elk camp every year, a huge area where camps can spread out but no shooting on site.
I have to head home tomorrow and come back up Sunday. I'll look to improve our camp then.
This site is a half mile off 260 and super easy to find.

Found a really nice spot 5 miles in on major dirt roads, bunch of elk and 1 deer.
Will move the trailer in the morning.
When I get home on the computer I'll start a group pm with details, I waypointed it on my onx hunt but don't know how to transfer or share, we'll see... It's fairly easy to find by directions.
The group pm will be those that stated they are coming.

I am planning on bringing a small travel trailer. But I can switch to tent if that's necessary. Probably arrive late Thursday.

Little trailers, big trailers bring them all.
I usually bring my 5th wheel but I have it permanently installed at Christopher creek about 15 miles away, I brought my camp trailer.

Kent OK +/- 4 miles north of 260. On which road? 122? 178? Or another road?

I use GAIA not OnX. I sent you coordinates in a PM. I can post them on the group thread when you get it up or you can post them, which is what you mentioned in previous PM.
