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!
Aha!!! I saw a hammock!!!
I got dibs!!!
I think we have that covered with at least 3-4 golf carts already...
Let me talk with the Misses first. Will do my conversation with the Misses tonight. She holds all the cards and most of the ammo. Should the Misses say yes (I pray), I too cannot wait to meet you and yours and everyone. No ... I’m not Hen Pecked!
Somebody who has rented one should axe if they can be charged at the cabins.
Brandish?
Or carry?
Okay, I lied!
Looks like.
We can have contact numbers available for arrivals and get 'em picked up.
Ah, no way, n-t-i!!
No comment ... She might be watching.
Yes, we have.
Yes, we have.
You make for a great logistics manager!
Note to all: This is a GATED park!
Gates close at 11pm and open at 7am
Late arrivals need to be coordinated in advance!
Even unto exiting?
I tend to bail out at the buttcrack of dawn.
Great! That was the plan anyway.
Don’t know if the exit gate opens automagically...
We’ll know when we get there...or call to find out.
Cya then!
We're gonna need a group pic of us all "Gun'd Up" for posterity.
Oh, thank goodness. I finally get a decent hug again. ;-)
Lol..I can arrange for that to happen as a matter of fact! Will bring the tripod so I can get in the action too! That is a fabulous idea!!
