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!
If you do all that, I’ll ride along and paint ‘em!
Big problem is knocking down those trees on the bank to get to the 400 Yard range.
Just dumped a truckload of wood off this small lot this past week.
**** grows like a weed.
Maybe a boat is the solution.
Get in on the water and just hang them gongs.
Mickey and Vicky used to run an airboat all up and down there.
I do like the way they have repurposed those trees into furniture.
We’ll gitter done.
No worries.
Gnight my FRiend.
;)
I got an entire fence that needs to come down,
Cant figure out what to do with it.
Paint Bluebonnets on it and sell it to barmy women or saw it up into bits to toss in the river for targets. ;)
We’re all gonna have fun.
Enjoy Come on down yall ☺
Awesome!
Counting the days...
Not a popular place for canoes I take it...
Did someone say “knocking down trees?”
Have chainsaw. Will tavel! Imma tree-fellin’ fool. :D
Great pictures!
I’m SO ready for this getaway!
Checked the Mill Creek Ranch web site this morning ~ there are only 11 cabins available for the weekend of the shoot.
Those lil buggers are all over my yard right now.
Dive bombing squirrels, eating mulberries...
I guess no one is attending this year LOL
That’s what they do alright. They probably have some babies in the nest. Those young birds can also be annoying with their constant chirping, but they’re fun to watch at times.
Seems a bit late in the year for there to be babies in the nest, but they are funny to watch dive bombing those squirrels! LOL
Do you mean that there are 11 cabins still available, or is that counting the cabins that have been reserved by the attendees?
We still have time to cancel (and get our deposits back) and go someplace else if there are not going to be enough cabins for the whole group.
