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 $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.

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!
Got it. I was going to do the potatoes Friday mid morning (if that is ok..I will need your help) , so they can cool all day and make the potato salad Friday night late back in the cabin for Saturday shoot. Couldn’t we clean it out and then do fries in oil for Friday night supper? Just throwing out ideas. A darn ham sandwich with chips is ok by me. I am easy..lol.
Okie dokie. Sounds good!
Oh hell yes.
If you boil first then cleaning is a breeze.
I was just worried that you figured we could do the two
things in close order or at the same time. It’s a pot
with a fire under it.
I need to see if my friend with load me a 12 string for HG.
I will let you know.
Just called that friend and he says he has no 12 string.
I could prolly get a 6 string off him.
Score it.
We’ll make do.
I was going to test the floaty-flares today but the rain got in the way.
Looks like clear sailing all next week.
Ok Sammy says we can have it for the weekend.
That would be awesome! I had my brother’s guitar you could have borrowed for a long time, but took it back to him last trip to Miss.
I have several sets of strings for 6 strings, so don’t worry about new strings. Silk & steel and bronze ones. You can always play my guitar too after I get booed off the ‘stage’....lol.
Oh I do not play!
The other guitar is for HGunner.
I just have been trying to find FReepers who do play to do the campy fire thing for a long time.
Hey WH can you come and play in Canton?
We’ll feed ya.
Epic!
Followed U (Steve L)
I will say Texas has produced some badazz guitarists. Stevie Ray and Eric Johnson (although from Austin) come to mind. We just have that mariachi stuff.
Can’t wait to hear you play gunner! This will be fun! Maybe you can teach me some new stuff!
Ok. I will bring some sunflower oil in case we decide to do fries Friday night.

Three jars of local HOT and 40 rounds of .45-70 sent to The Mom on Thursday. It don’t get better than that.
Hell Yeah!
