And you might want to note the lodge down by the lake would be a great place to bed down theres a kitchen and a big FIREPLACE THAT YOU COULD STAY WARM LOWER TEENS THIS WEEK END. I am not instructor material right now and I've not even made rifleman.

I'm very sorry to hear that, rimfire.  You'll be missed!  I don't have your number, but feel free to give me a call if there's anything I can do for you at anytime.

MeanStreaker,

You are aware that only people who actually own a Mini Uzi are authorized to use the "little guy shooting the Mini Uzi"  icon, Aren't you?

Meanstreaker,
Ok. Just printed Rev 3.0 - 011910 of the manual. If you make any changes between now and start of class Saturday, you get to bring new copies for all.  ;D Two shooting mats are in the back of the truck.

Nurse Ratchett,
10 loaves of bread, 2 flats of water, 2 cubes of pepsi, a big can of coffee, and a big package of TP are ready to go.

***********

See everyone at the clubhouse tomorrow evening.

Just a heads up! 

We have 10 or so inches of packed snow all around the clubhouse and camping areas.  Will move some of it tomorrow, but plan on dealing with the problem if you are camping or moving a vehicle.  The limestone parking lot has disappeared and we cannot get down to the stone without moving too much of it also.  Entrances are slick.  Footing is slick. 

Not to discourage, but we cannot accomodate everyone overnight in the clubhouse, so plan accordingly.

We can use the paper towels, especially the trifold for towel dispensers.  We have a good stock of TP.  The coffee, water and drinks are good to bring.  Thank you.

Gates will be open tomorrow PM, around 4. 

Have a safe trip, and no, I have not put out any direction signs.

By the way, the old cabin is not safe to stay in.

As far as I'm concerned, this will be the lap of luxury......

Normally I try to pack light...  This time the plan is to be comfy.  Tent, pad, extra blankets, space heater, pillow.....etc...  Packing heavy this time..

The forum is but a blank slate that records what we type.  If it sucks, why is that?  Anyone have an extra mirror for people?

Who's excited?!?!?!     :---

Me! The car is all packed and I'm ready to head south after work tomorrow. Seems strange that I'm headed south to colder weather than we have here. My 'plan' is to get south of Columbus Friday night and make the rest of the journey EARLY Saturday morning. Meanstreaker I'm PMing you my cell phone number. If there is something I need to know between now and Saturday morning please call or send me a text message. THANKS!

Thanks very much for the update and of course, for the club's hospitality, George.

As the beginning of this thread shows, we're good to go as only 9 people are sleeping inside the clubhouse, so we're under the limit that you and the club set.

Folks, if you have an extra bag of kitty litter, it might be nice to bring along.  

See you tomorrow night.

Luna and I are looking forward to a great weekend.  See you all tonight.  I have plates, knives, forks, spoons, extra napkins, extra tin foil, extra cups large and small.  Throwing in a shooting mat and a couple tarps.

George,

How slick are we talking? Slick enough that a car might have trouble getting up the drive? Slick enough that a truck might have trouble? Or just slick enough that a person has to be careful walking.

Hi everyone! The day is finally here ^:)^ ^:)^   Just an FYI the entrance and exit are a bit steep grade wise. I have not been out to the club since Jan 31, however I know with the way we have received snow and then a few hours of sun then temps dipping low at night there is alot of ice and packed snow on top. GeorgeT drives a pick-up truck and I believe he made it into the lot ok. I do not know about cars.

As far as salt or kitty litter, please keep it to kitty litter. The salt on a gravel drive will not work. If we salt the area it will not firm up in future bad weather and then we will be left with a mud lot instead of a parking lot. :o  $$-0 Do not want fellow club members to be unhappy with us @)

Everyone travel safe and I will see you soon! **) ..:.. ^:)^

In His Grip,

Thanks, NR.  I updated my post above.  Let's make sure nobody does anything in regards to kitty litter or anything else unless cleared by George T first.

Thanks.
