All Campfire folks invited. This has been a grand event in the past and those who return year after year know the scheme. It may be even better if new folks decide to join the moment. Fun interaction, good food, shooting, etc.
Planned activities begin Friday afternoon/evening and it is fine to arrive earlier if you wish. Reply in the affirmative here if you plan to participate. This NFS Campground is located about 21 miles south of Quemado, NM.
A separate planning PM will be started to provide details and do needed planning. If you reply affirmative, you will be included in the PM.

Looking forward to being there and seeing good friends again. Making new friends has always been a bonus.

Word on the street deflave and his sockpuppets are going.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

You might could fly into Showlow AZ. Plane hopping, might be a couple hundred bucks from Phoenix, I guess you would need to just check where you are from for options. Show low is about 100 miles to quemado, Albuquerque is about 150.
Quite a few people stay at the motel in quemado, it's about 20 miles to the campground, paved most of the way and cars have no problem.
If some needs tent and cot, bedding ect, I can bring a whole setup. Just bring cloths.

Julia and I will try to make it, but it's doubtful since EPISD has decided, in their infinite wisdom, to not only end school late (June 12, 2023) but also to start incredibly early (8/2/23). Poor kids don't even get 2 months of Summer these days.
I don't remember the district asking me about their idea for an abbreviated summer, the Marxist bastages.
I'm also still in Big D helping out with Dad, since he's continuing to decline.

Officially meals from Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast are provided, earlier there's always food available to whoever is around.
The Largo hotel and Cafe has good food when people are sick of my cooking.

We have had folks do the Vegas fly in, it's farther, probably 450 miles, but making it an extended trip to include a stop at the grand canyon.

I’ll be there. Jace will be back on base by then for MCT. I don’t know about Jocie’s schedule yet.

Well bummer.
I drew a muzzleloader tag in 6B for late Oct. Gas here in NorCal just hit the $5 a gallon mark, no telling where LGB will have it by the time of my hunt. Not going to be able to afford two trips to AZ this year. Kinda bummed as I'd love to meet some of you folks. And taste some of the food Kent cooks up.
