I'll get there around 11 or noon on Friday. I'll bring a HD trash bag with me......

Until then, you'll have to improvise. I would suggest the door pockets of your various vehicles....

We've got plenty of light weight ones, but a nice big heavy one that can go down to the dumpster that night would be nice.

There's Harold and Edgar, having hors d'oeuvres under the canopy.

I shot the small bore course this afternoon and really enjoyed all the presentations.

Does anyone know who the two guys were, who were camping in that tent in the distance, by the white SUV? They left garbage all over their campsite when they left.

I had a great time again this year but it seemed to me attendance was noticeably lower. I am sure Ernie has some firm numbers and it would be good to know what is going on. I spoke with two vendors who said they thought attendance had been dropping since the shoot went to a Thurs- Sat schedule. Your thoughts and observations?

Harold his gator and Edgar's tracks in the field. On Thursday it was like driving and walking on a wet sponge.

A Ford Excursion weighs just shy of 6800lbs, but add 60 cans and 24 bottles of beer, three coolers, camping gear and I'm confident we were over 7000lbs.
Even with an aggressive all terrain tire, we just slowed to a stop. Down where Eric's truck was parked, someone put the pedal to the floor getting out, and it looked like two gunnite cannons, totally coating three cars behind him. The entire row along the stone wall was deeply rutted.

So what you are saying is next year no 2 frames and only light beer?
