The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .

“...they think theyll strong arm him out. Thats not working for them.”

“Thought she was from Ohio?”
Don’t let her hear you say that! LOL, she’s a Southern gal, born and bred.
Her accent just got smoothed down a bit from living in California for ten years.
“Hey I’m Ecclectic”
Well, I’m esoteric. We gotta compare notes sometime ;-)
An 8 footer rolled on me in Orlando and I learned real fast this aint ohio LOL
I have come to like this place
My mistake, I hardly know yee.

I worked in Florida for twelve months in the early 90s. The locals got me up to speed on gators real quick.
First lesson: don’t swim in fresh water ponds or lakes.
Second lesson: if one chases you on land, run in a zigzag pattern.
Third lesson: in winter, always check under your car from a safe distance before entering.
“I have come to like this place”
Me too. I’ll never go back to where I came from.
Ready for your brisket!

Texas=a whole nuther country! :)
Any updates on the shoot? It’s getting ever closer to time. I am just praying that it doesn’t flood out this year! LOL!
I’m not good on flooded roads...being the sissy I am. ;)
Getting the cars unstuck from the mud is half the fun - I tell you what.
Well, our street is paved and I don’t go where there are mud roads..so that helps my attitude for rain. LOL!
But, that’s why I didn’t come last October. The roads from my house to the lake were flooded and I didn’t think I could make it. I don’t have a truck. :)
I didn’t make it last year either. Old fashioned me writes stuff down on my wall calendar, but I goofed up and marked the wrong weekend down. Doh!
