Stew ,  I know a guy that has a 4x8 enclosed trailer that halls the bike and servers as sleeping quarters .   Looks like a good idea !     I've been looking for one ever since I saw it .      Yea ! Its  one of the Guys here on this site. ???  

Now that's pretty cool. if I could only
...
a) find one
b) real cheap
c) sneak it home
d) hide it down by the barn
e) have a good excuse every time I use it to make my wife believe I didn't buy it, just borrowed it for a long time...

I bought it pretty cheap from a guy that hauled some Dwarf rabbits all over the country to show and sell.  I had to clean it up a little bit.  I painted the walls and used roll in bedliner on the floor.  I also had to repaint the frame is it sat outside and was getting pretty rusty.  Any money I spent on it, I have gotten back by avoiding motels bills.  I have a larger mattress that is the full width, and my wife and I have taken this trailer camping on several occasions.....even when we don't take the motorcycle it is nice not to have to set up a tent in the rain!

OK

I'm going to put in on the calendar befor I forget , and the wifeey puts something else in that week !  

Ya'll come ,
I have;
A very big yard (100 acre's)
A burn pit/sitting wall (seats 10 or so , overflow get the picnic table, or goldfish pond rail)
BBQ grill that never runs out fuel
Second picnic table on covered patio
Carport to park bikes under
Y-fie  in and around the house (6.0 DSL)
Netflix and antenna TV (networks + PBS)
Three shooting ranges ( RF ie/iron-turkey game, Clay bird tosser , 400 yds on the hillside hayfield ie/water jug and the like)

You need to bring:
Sleeping quarters ( tent , trailer ,sleeping bag, cot, etc)
Whatever you drink , beer is OK if your so inclined
Your own bath towel and shampoo (water pressure is not great , but it works)
Ear plugs for the rest of us if you snore .  

I can put up a dinning fly big enough for 6-8 to sleep under if needed and I do have two cots , one for me and one for my buddy OldFeller.

Last year there was one very nice feller who wanted to buy dinner everyday but we can cook-out every meal as far as I'm concerned , saving money is always good the way I see it.    

So tentatively......this is the schedule.  Arrival day of members and planned activities can be inserted as they are determined.

Wed June 10th - MMRanch accepting visitors.
Thur June 11th -
Fri June 12th -
Sat June 13th - Pack up and head to Blue Ridge Campground
Sun June 14th -
Mon June 15th -
Tue June 16th -
Wed June 17th - Pack up and head home.

OK, it is the correct year now and we need to see how all these 3 major trips are going to shake out.

This is the second trip of the year, the June 10th through June 17th trip.   I will show up at MM's place for the scoot & shoot portion of the trip then roll on to share a cabin with whomever is going to be at the second Blue Ridge portion of the trip.

Being first, I declare dibs on the spare bedroom where I stayed last time and declare rights on first dinner trip out (so pick something nice that your wife will like).   Being old and feeble has rights, you know .....

Now, since it is know I am coming, somebody I know has to get busy on his rifle to show a little progress on the rubber pad and refinishing, heh?

(hee hee, and you thought it was just a free rifle, huh?   By the time you are done with it, it will really be yours by right of hours spent and blood spilled, not to ever be anything other than your rifle, ever again)

My daughter just picked up "my" 8mm Mauser, which was one of our blood and hours rifles that we did together when she was a kid -- she wanted to get it hold of it now to make sure it didn't go anywhere else by accident.

Of course when she got married and had a house she took possession of "her" 6.5 Swedish Mauser that we had refinished as that was always her rifle from the get go and had never left her possession, ever.   She also took "her" 40 glock and a spare 9mm for her hubby, and all the high capacity magazines that fit them.

It is not accidental that family heirlooms are often old rifles and such, kids will form bonds with these gun toys and old men will spend time with them accordingly.

Hey, that's the wrong kind of blood spilled --- my kind is just a barked knuckle.

I just punched in long range weather forecast and the zip code into Google and let it go find it.

I am waiting to see if there is enough interest in this trip once Versy and Lancer go off to Texas before planning it all up a bunch.   There is only 3 months between the trips after all.



MM, it sounds like you guys are convalescing, do you even want a bunch of people to descend upon you while you and  Ander are healing up?
