Riley, IN, Thanksgiving Weekend: Clear and Cold! :)

[Gordon]

Forecast: Clear & cold. And I hear the camping at this site is real nice. I can't wait. 

Re. the camping: I also heard that it's a bit aways from the clubhouse. Any special directions? I'll be arriving well after dark. If anyone has or can easily get the exact GPS for the campsites, I'd appreciate it. Google Earth makes this easy if you know what you're looking at. The EIP gives 39.3903, -87.3207 which is clearly the driveway for the clubhouse. If you know where the campsite is and mouse-over it, you can read the coords at the bottom of the screen.

From the google-earth photo I have a guess as to where the firing line will be, and if I'm right then it faces south. Hmmm .... Bright sun, low in the sky, right in front of the shooters' eyes --- hmmm: may need to improvise some field expedient sight hoods.

Anyhow, yeah, 'can't wait! And thanks in advance for hints on how to find the campsite.

Camping is allowed between the clubhouse and the road.  There is a second site down the hill and next to a small lake, but that is probably not the best given the likelyhood of snow.

BTW: Snow is in the forecast which means those new patches are gonna be in play!

Hi TR:

Likelihood of snow? Well I'll do my best to be prepared for anything but "The Weather Underground" (not what you may think!) is usually very accurate, and, they predict clear skies. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=Riley,%20IN&wuSelect=WEATHER

Thanks for the info on the campsite. The "down the hill and next to a small lake, is that, like, right behind and to the west of the clubhouse?

I like the camping down the hill but make sure your vehicle will get you back up....  Still have a few scratches on the truck.  Riley is a good range to be at!

Disclaimer - The site by the lake appears to be more sheltered from the wind and weather.  Trust me - it is not!
