Elko, NV Labor Day Camping Meet (Aug 29th-Sept 1st)

[nfpgasmask]

I guess I will bring an extra container of fuel, just to be safe. Bart, can I just buy some ammo off you to use? I don't know where to look for that stuff around these parts and you can probably buy it cheaper than I could anyway. Is that cool? Gas and ammo together... sounds like the Hershey squirts!

Sure, I mean, we can all share a little. I usually mail order all my ammo from ammoman.com. He has pretty good prices and free shipping. But if you could, go to Walmart and buy as many boxes of 12guage as you want. They usually sell the 100 shell boxes of 8 or 7.5 shot for like $22. I would pic up 2 boxes of that because you will want to shoot the Saiga 12 as much as possible. I think I am going to bring my AK, SKS, Saiga 12 and my .22 pistol. So the only expensive ammo I will have with me is 7.62x39.

BTW - does anyone have a clay pigeon thrower?

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

Oh, my ammo is covered, I just mean ammo for your guns!

Well, like I said, I will have 12 guage, .22lr and 7.62x39. .22lr is dirt cheap, and 12 guage ain't too bad either. Just bring enough 12 for your own gun, and how ever much you wan to shoot out of this:



Trust me, you will enjoy it. I just don't need to be hauling 4 extra ammo cans full of 12 guage, that stuff is heavy!

Getting close!
I will be bringing the family, and heading up to Reno on Thursday night. Do you have any recommendations for a hotel/motel near you?
Best,

Hey, so the boy is coming? How many people in "the family"? We have a queen sized bed, but its up to you. I have never stayed in a hotel here but once, and it was the Holiday Inn and it was kinda crappy. I would imagine all the Casinos have decent rooms. Try Atlantis, the Peppermill, etc. I am always kinda partial to Hampton Inns as well. They are usually clean and not to expensive.

CrnCnn/Ascinder: You guys ready?

We'll see.

Things are looking NOT GOOD!!

I have 2 deadlines to meet by September 15th, one is 250 hours, and one is 80 hours...

so I'm scrambling... trying to get everyone at the office in on them. I'll keep you posted

So what you are saying is you might have to work on Labor Day weekend?

Bart

[taylorRichie]

Yeah... pretty lame eh... I guess when you work for a small business... and in a deadline driven industry that's what can happen...

But it'll be the entire weekend... not just labor day... Unless I can get enough done this week(end) and next before Thurs.

[CrnCnn]

Right now, I don't even know if Linda is coming. She is not happy about 3 straight days of "real" camping (no shower, no sink, etc)

CrnCnn/Ascinder: You guys ready?

We'll see.

Bart

Megan is going, and she can handle it than so can Linda.....

I guess we are ready. Finally got my gun and shot it, Cari is better than me BTW.... ... But I was more unloading than aiming.... thats my story and im sticking to it.

I will be three wheel drive, unless we have some extra money and the axles from the trooper fit. I hope it wont hurt to drive that far without an axle in the right side...

Have you heard from Beau or Megan? Good news on the pistol!!!

I think your VX should be fine. But do you think maybe you should take them both out? I don't know how it would effect the TOD, if at all. Maybe this question warrants a new thread?

Bart

Cari talked to Megan. I have called beau a while ago but heard nothing back. But that happened with another VX owner recently too so I figured it was nothing new...

I may start a thread about the CV's or add on to one of my old ones.

You won't have 3 wheel drive. Without both front axles you will only have rear wheel drive no matter what. The only way you would have 3 wheel drive is with a front locker and I don't remember you having that.

I figured that, I was just kinda stating that one axle is removed. No locker for me... So do you think it will hurt anything?

Bart

Yes, the boy and his mom.
I'll look into the Hampton. I appreciate the offer, Bart, but the fam is high maintenance, even just for one night

Apperently the peppermill is reasonable. I have never stayed there though so I couldnt speak to the quality. There are some on Bart's and mine side of town but they are pricy I think. One is brand spankin new, only been open a few months.

Found this, thought you might enjoy it....
