Joe... roadrunner... has pins, was asking if he should bring them.
Kent I've got 10 pins, maybe a few more, that I can bring. I don't recall what was done in the past as far as the pin tables. At the Hog Hunt I build them from scratch, which does get somewhat pricey. I don't mind if we have a good number of shooters. I'll be there. Leaving (hopefully) Thursday morning to help set up. About a 6 hour drive for me, so no biggie. Waking up the GF is going to be the hard part.  Tent camping for me again this year, so limited space. I've got 20 pins. Should last us a couple years I think as I've seen some of you shoot and I'm not worried about you guys harming the pins...   Looking forward to seeing a bunch of "old" friends and hopefully getting to meet some new ones. Safe travels to everyone coming...

I think this would be a great get-together and someday I would love to shake the hands of our southwest friends. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Paul and I look forward to doing so again.
Have fun and I’ll be with you all in spirit! 👍🏼

Wife and I would like to sign up. Ok Just to be clear... Being in the PM isn't required to come to the event, it will let you know about the food and shooting events. The shooting events are just fun and about comradery, bragging rights for the year. If someone misses the group PM we can give out the info individually also. All anyone needs to do is show up and make sleeping accommodations, Largo hotel, trailer, tent, truck shell. I can supply a tent shelter if needed, I have 3 or 4 available, just let me know. Food is supplied Friday dinner to Sunday breakfast, if early there is usually food available. Best to bring drinks though there will be coolers with a bunch, snacks you may want and a coffee cup.

Wish I could join you this year but it's not going to work out. Still hoping Miles Patton will want to make squirrel dogs out of my mini dachshunds.

This is the first I’ve heard of a get together like this. It’s not too far away for me and in my usual NM hunting units. I plan on this in the future.

We've had at least 1 once a year and sometimes 2 at different times and locations throughout the years (10?). They are a lot of fun and you get to meet some great people, have some awesome food and just a little bit of BSing.....

Thanks, Kent, for making the group PM happen. This current thread will become unimportant once that PM starts and all of the detailed info/planning will be there. So - get on the list now if you even think you may be there.
Kent does a great job with food and brings most of it, and some others usually pitch in to help with some of the planned meals. Those who don't come prepared to put some commensurate $$ into Kent's pocket.
This is shaping up to be another fine event.

963.8 to Quemado, NM.. that would be a trip .. I did a trip from the AZ-NM border to Washington NC to help a friend move. Left June 30th at 0830 pulled up to my house July 4th at 0930. 4292 miles round trip. Several places on I40 are absolutely horrible. I think the worst was west bound 40 from the Texas border to Tucumcari NM. I sent a bill to NM DOT. You made very good time, and the trip to Armijo Springs in August would be a snap compared to that. You are welcome. I do know what you mean about I40 and that rough area in E. New Mexico. Some places east of OKC used to be pretty bad but I have not driven that for quite a while. I40 around Kingman, AZ and 93 north of there were poor a few days ago. Not as bad as some of the roads in California on the way down there.... Can't believe I've missed this for the last 2 weeks... was wondering why the PMs stopped coming... I'll be there if I'm still alive and haven't been hit by a bus or dump truck yet. Wife has to work. She put in for time off for the get together to be the normal July time... she's been off from work for 2.5 weeks when she returns to work that Wednesday. She is taking more time of in September to go back and visit friends in Massachusetts, or early October. She wants to see it when the leaves have turned color... Has always dreamed of that... Let me know what I can bring. Am taking a break doing some re wiring on my vehicle to tow a trailer to bring all the extra stuff for others to use. Darn wiring broke after X amount of years of service... I think Que Tomato is about 1300 or 1400 miles for me one way.....depending on the route I take... two day trip unless I take some side trips home....been busy up this way this summer.....too busy.

John - time is flying and the event date has crept up on me a bit - I also need to work on the camping rig and do some reloading/shooting prep.
If your wife wants to see turning leaves in MA this fall, even late Sept. may be too early for biggest color - unless cold weather comes really early or she drives way up into northern NE. We did the full swing last Fall and it seemed like mid to late Oct was good - driving north to south.
There are web sites/online maps of NE that show the likely progression.
See you soon.

963.8 to Quemado, NM.. that would be a trip .. Yes - for certain. And, some great compadres have been driving well more than 1,000 miles to these events, and will again this year. A few years ago a fellow and his wife drove from New England. One lazy guy drove as little as 1 mile. And - that mile was round-trip!
