It was the last UP Shoot I went to, notice again I said last.

We stayed at the Woodland Motel in Iron Mountain, I believe it was the next to last room in the row.

My memory of the event is very strong, burned into my mind would be a better way of putting it.

I can buy the U.P. Shoot and the Woodlands but you drove? Anyway I'm glad you have that memory

I drove up from here to the shoot then drove when we went to dinner. I'm sure I saved some lives that night......

Destry, I Have had the unfortunate experience to room with COB myself once and trust me the world will end and the gates of hell will open before that happens again...... Time had almost erased the sight of Rich in his tighty whities until you hadda bring it up again damn it..... Now it will be another several years of nightmares..... Anderson do you have any recollection of being brought back to your room in a chair??

And people wonder why I prefer camping over motels. Go figure.

Destry, when Rich said you had him confused with someone else I though it was me. But then again it could not have been me as I sleep buck naked.

Harry I only roomed with you once but it wasn't because I wouldn't do it again. You wore pajamas as I recall, out of courtesy to me I'm sure. ROFL

Well you boys have taken a thread about a very nice and unique Parker and turned into something totally uncalled for. Without asking it's assumed it's my gun and the ownership is immaterial to the thread anyway but to allude to the fact that if I have enough adult beverages I'll spill the beans and then some is ridiculous. Then to go off on something that may or may not have happened over 10 years ago is even more ridiculous and uncalled for and doesn't pertain to the discussion about the gun.

I'll own up to anything I have ever done and won't be ashamed or embarrassed about it. We all have stories to tell but sometimes the stories are best left untold.

Tedd thank you for bringing this gun to the forum, it really is a nice and unique Parker and my apologies for the hard left turn your thread has taken. The rest of you guys all I can say is classy, very classy
