A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This year’s shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #’s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #’s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
Think I'd better try again and ping a few folks this time :-)
Pinging the list to post 1117 for Windflier.
Have you checked availability of other cabins?
We’ve had a few cancellations...
Lemme try this again:
Is there anyone who might have room to bunk two extra Freepers on Saturday night?
Me and Libertybel will be leaving the Shoot around dusk to drop the kids at home, then hitting the road out to Canton so we can spend more time with everyone.
This is a last minute decision, so we never really planned for it.
Of course we’ll be happy to split the cost of the night’s stay with whoever can spare the space.
Thanks!
TheGirl and her Beau might have space in their cabin. I can’t remember if there is a fold out couch in the living room, though.
Are ya gonna start a LIVE thread before y’all leave town tommorrow?
I won’t have time.
Tonight we have to do the packing and staging (and some other mundane stuff). Tomorrow I’ll be running full out here at the office all morning.
You are so great at starting live threads ~ I’ll leave it in your capable hands.
Will do!
I’m not sure what the size of our cabin is where Laurenmarlowe and I are staying, but if it’s got enough room, you can crash with us. I’ll know more when I check in tomorrow afternoon....and then let you know. ok?
Heck, we can rough it on the floor if we have to. We've got an air mattress we can bring, and a couple of sleeping bags.
Can you ask TheGirl to hit me back on this thread? (sorry, I don't recognize the handle).
Awesome! Thank you very much. That now makes two possibilities. I'll check in with you tomorrow night after work.
No, this is just a spur of the moment thing we're doing. It's not even factored into our weekend budget for the Shoot.
We've got kids at home, so we really don't want to be gone that long. We're just hoping to have a place to crash in case it gets too late for us to drive back to Rowlett safely.
Wishing you all the best and hope you have a great time at the shoot!
I will be with you in spirit!
There is no way I could have recovered enough to make that flight/trip this time around.
It hit so hard and so fast, that I am still not recovered after my second week with it.
I am brokenhearted, but I also know my limitations.
God Bless you all, and have a great time!
Ms.B
I know from experience it hits like a sledgehammer.
We will miss you.
Get well soon.
TheGirl is our daughter, we won’t see her until sometime tomorrow. I’ll let you know tomorrow evening.
I was so sad to hear you were sick ~ even sadder that you aren’t going to be able to make it to the shoot.
We are brokenhearted and sad too...we wanted you to be here so bad! :(
I hope you’ll be well soon. Sounds like a very vicious bout of pneumonia hit you! Get all the rest you can! ((((gentle hugs))))
I’ll look for your post...or better yet, to make sure I see it, send me a f-mail. :)
Thanks, Mom. I hadn't seen the handle before, so I was confused. Does she post at FR with that nick?
She doesn’t post here, FR is not her thing.
