Washington State Hoot and Shoot (Ellensburg)

[Polishrifleman]

Thanks Pops for starting the thought.

Father's day Weekend June 15, 16, 17. Same place same faces (Let's get New Ones). PM me here for introductions and information. Show up Friday afternoon and pack out on Sunday.

25 Minutes out of Ellensburg no matter how you slice it. Camping, shooting, storytelling, and fellowship all weekend.

GOOOOOOOD!

Just got back from our annual weekend Statewide FTX, It was, again, a good meet this year. We had a pretty good turnout with a number of newcomers wanting training.

Quick Headcount from you guys. I am sitting at 5 in my group. Need to start planning food!

I'm looking at the possibility of bringing the chicas along, mi hija hermosa, mi preciosa esposa ... so at least three, and a buddy has expressed interest, so possibly four.

Anyone heard from Parker?

I'm trying to get a couple to show up with me. I'm checking next week to see if the Johnsons are going to make it. Charlene had knee replacement this year. The second knee hasn't yet been scheduled, but it will be close.
Parker told me when I first started talking about it that he wouldn't make it this year. They have plans to wear out the motorhome, now that they are BOTH retired.
I haven't yet heard from Shelby if it is one or two for him.
Gabe said he and Mary will be in Europe then.
I haven't heard from Dean, yet. He is on contract work and still rebuilding his home after the fire.

Shelby has forgotten how to sign in here. His head count is 3.

I know we've got some Washington state members here ... would like to see some of 'em come up for this weekend.

New faces are always welcome!

Just a quick update. The Main Road is currently closed. Evidently the search area where Lindsay Baum's remains were found is up that direction somewhere. They had 20 some odd Cadaver teams up there this weekend and were turning people away. They should be out of there prior to shoot but wouldn't give me a definitive timeframe. I will keep you posted when something changes

 

[armedandsafe]

The Johnsons are at a head count of two, for the moment. Charlene is having her knee replaced the following week and doesn't want to take the chance.

I'm thinking of bringing a big pot of Mom's red beans'n'rice with chicken chunks. Shelby is bringing the flat of eggs this year. I'll bring a (partial) bottle of Irish and ...???...

Was up this weekend. Typical June Weather. Sun, Rain, Hail, repeat. Got down to freezing so be ready for anything as usual. I got put on swing shift so might not be up till late. Road is open and bumpy as usual.

 

[Old Dog]

Supposed to be nice this weekend, though ... at least in Greater Pugetropolis ... so maybe even nicer East of the mountains?
Hope some new faces can turn up.

VERY enjoyable weekend up on the Ridge. It was really pleasant seeing all of you again. Thank you.

Absolutely! And the rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits, either. Most sincere thanks to our gracious host!
