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!
Is it that I'm supposed to bring my propane rig to boil the taters?
I think so..it is all coming back to me now..lol. It is ok though if you don’t want to fool with bringing it. I can cook them in batches in the cabin Friday morning. No biggie. I will just bring two big pots. Do we have a head count yet on how many folks are coming?
It’s nothing to haul up there, happy to bring it.
Plus it makes a jolly sound.
Can’t wait to see you!! It has been a long year! One Obama caused disaster/crisis after another! It is exhausting..lol..not to mention depressing.
Thanks! That would be great! Thinking about trying this handy tip on peeling all those taters Friday mornin..lol. Might be fun!

Hey, all...
Just was reminded of this by a reference on another thread, and being in the area, I thought I’d ask - if I just wanted to drop in for the fun on Saturday the 18th, what would be the plan? Should I bring anything, show up in a specific location at a specific time?
Wondering,

Ebola confirmed in Dallas, but remember they had it in Atlanta too.

I might ought to wear gloves and cook the monkey well-done.
But that is so much trouble....
Seriously.. thanks for the heads-up.
All are welcome!
You want to shoot or eat or socialize?
These things happen at different places all over the map.
All’a same day.
It’s bloody chaos.
You’re going to have to start using the farm raised monkeys, even with the antibiotics and steroids.
Free Range Monkey is just too damned dangerous.
They're Green and torture-free, free-range or free-ditch.
It may not matter to you but I care about the planet and the dead monkeys on it.
Welcome back!
No plans have been made for wed night as of yet. Any ideas?
Thought everyone should know.
Dinner at the Stockyards?
Dinner at your house?
Dinner at KFC?
JK about that last one. heehee
"Just wanted to comment before all the conspiracy theories and the freak outs begin over ebola. First off it is only transferable if the person is symptomatic. As bad as the disease is the media is making more of a big deal than it is for whatever reason. It is also only transmitted through bodily fluid. Just dont everyone freak out! No need too. Just say a prayer for a speedy recovery for the patient. That is all from doctor jen hahaha" She is an extremely competent ER nurse. Not sure what hospital.
I just thought I should make people aware of it.
You did good! :)
Thanks! I am up for whatever everyone wants to do. My house is available for a potluck if needed or we can just wait and get this party started Thursday night!
I’m not real happy to hear this, my!
Rats!
