Beer. We can't forget the beer. Did I mention beer?

Doc, you can bring anything you like. I'll have my Model 1927 Colt 11.25MM. Only thing is you have to take an autograver and scratch Savage on the receiver, Joe.

Little update, we have 7 very probable Campfire members on the book and 3 of my buddies bringing their Savages, and anything else that goes bang. I do have a trap up their if anyone wants to break birds. It's still a bit early to hold folks down, but it looks like we should have a pretty good turn out, Joe.

Shooting a few clay targets could round out the trip if you don't mind having broken orange pieces laying on the ground. We can pick up the unbroken birds....if any. I do have a few left handed shotguns I could bring.

I can throw a shotgun into the truck, too, along with a couple .22HP's, some pistols, perhaps a 1903A1 Springfield, and a grocery bag full of ammo. (And beer, for apr�s shooting. )

I'll bring a 28 gauge and a case of ammo if "Gnooahh" thinks it's enough shotgun for clay birds.

Did anybody mention beer? And don't forget the beer. I usually try to have some beer on hand too.

Doc The 28 gauge O/U is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the above! It's what I reach for more often than not anymore.

...And beer likes you, John!
Lest anyone fret about alcohol vs. gun safety, last year Joe and I didn't crack a beer until after the guns were stashed and we were on the road home...

Time is getting short, so next week, I'm going to try and get a list of guys that plan on attending. I can probably sleep 8 in my 42 foot house trailer. But if some one has gas and lets loose, it might blow the doors off. We've been try to get up there and put a couple more bunk beds in the "big room" in the back where we store junk, but this weather isn't helping, we're snowed out. This is the first year since we bought the farm in 1970, that there has been snow on the ground this late, Joe.

OK, time to start checking in. Planning on March 27,28,29. The closest motel is Lost River Motel. I Googled Lost River Motel, Mathias, West Virginia, and they popped up. I think they are actually in Lost City They have a good restaurant that we frequent. Their number is 304-897-6482. Steve, Sbrown, would like to bring his wife, and wives are welcome. I have an old 42 ft house trailer and figure we can probably sleep 8 guys. It will be tight. We have electricity, and cook on Gas. No running water and a port-a-potty. Guys might get a little ripe. Gals would probably prefer the hotel. I'll try to keep the info coming, starting this weekend, Joe

OHOH, may need to postpone a couple weeks. I called my neighbor in WV Saturday and asked if I could get up my driveway and he said NO. That side of the hill is in too much shade and is still under a lot of snow. I was trying to get up there this weekend, now we have another snow storm on the way. Let me know if a week in April will work for you, Joe.
