[bwhoffman]

Forest Hills Black Powder Brigade is hosting their Annual "Cabin Fever" Rondy Feb 2nd and 3rd.
Just west of Yamhill, Oregon at the "Flying M Ranch".
You set up camp friday if you like, shoot the trails on saturday and join in on the blanket!
bring a blanket item to pick an item, novelty shoots and shotgun on sunday. Been fun in the past, decent turnout of folks.
You can PT me for info if you like!

With all the rain we've been having I'm thinking that's going to cover a pretty broad area.
Planning on making it out for Saturday. Have to work Sunday. Can't take it off, cause half the shift is already off for the Superbowl.

Well, the popular excuse is..."Dude, its Super Bowl Weekend"!.....
RESPONSE..... "Dudes, the game is on Sunday afternoon, all the smoke and stuff happens saturday for the most part".

you dont think that the trappers from years back didnt get together to do the game????
I'm sure Joe Meek and them all hosted superbowl parties in the camps back in the day :blah:

Gonna have to put an extra coat of bear grease on the shoes and double up on the long johns. Stocked up on powder and ball recently and have lots of fresh flints so I think I'm good to go.
Still gonna sneak a handwarmer into my weskit pocket though.

You are reading my mind Bill!
I'm trying to figure out which clothes to wear that will keep my dry and still allow me to shoot to my potential!
wait till you see my non-pc cold weather boots!
but my feet will be warm!

pretty much turning into a real "lewis and clark" shoot!

Well, I wussed out. Let the dogs out this morning and there was slush on the ground and more slush falling out of the sky. Decided to stay in winter quarters. Put some of that slush in a glass with magarita mix and a shot of tequila.

I will shamefully confess to joining you Bill, with a snowy slush on everything at 5 AM and the cable guy coming between 9 and 10 it was much easier to leave the Fusil on the wall and turn up the pellet stove hope the boys had a good shoot and nobody drowned, Brett will likely give a report later and admonish us wuuses...

Hope it all went well. My excuse for not going is I am watching our kids all day today. So I stuck close to the fire and finish making a possible bag.
One thing for sure is I bet it was cold!

turnout was smallish 3 1/2 inches of white on the ground and it fell all day!
The trail was challenging with the snow, snow weighted limbs and the muffled sounds from the snow. I shoot a pea shooter and rely on the sounds since it doesnt move many of the targets.
very challenging and you have to trust your shooting partner!

All you local folks....You were missed!

...and my munster boots were warm as heck!
