The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .

We have quite the crew here now, come on over. There is plenty of fridge space for the pies.
Better that it rain today and not tomorrow. See ya soon.
I’m just fixin to make slaw for tomorrow. See u when I’m finished with that.
I hate to cancel at the last minute but I don’t think we’re going to make it after all. Our oldest fur baby is still not doing well. Y’all have fun and drink some margaritas for us! Can’t wait to see all the pics!
So sorry to hear that, it’s tough when our critter aren’t doing well. We’ll miss you two.
Somebody please ping me if y’all are meeting for breakfast some place tomorrow morning.
We are thinking about hitting the McDonald’s drive thru.
Hope everyone’s having a great time. Sorry that the Windflier clan couldn’t make it this year. Hope to see you at the next one.

What time will you be getting to the range?
Sorry. It just wasn’t in the cards for us this year. We’ll try again next year.
