I know this sounds self serving since it is the closest for me. But geographically Oklahoma or even Arkansas are the most central states. But I am free to travel anywhere. If my schedule doesn't change I will be on a 14 on 14 off rotation which right now, roughly puts me home the fist two weeks of each month for the next several months.
Monkeyman's place? Not trying to invite ourselves (the board) to his place, but it does fit the geographical local...... phishi
Since I'm about 90 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, I'm going to have to sit this one out. I'd be interested if it's a vitual meeting.
If it comes together I can provide the central location, Im in west central Missouri about 80 miles southeast of Kansas city. We have 13 acres and could fit several tents/campers in the pasture, besides, unless things look up a lot it would most likely be the only way I could make it for a FTF. lol Oh and as long as camp sites are situated with it in mind, I also have a makeshift range in the back yard and the neighbors are all used to hearing me out shooting all the time.
I could link up with the Texas contingent and other Okies and we could carpool or convoy. If in good weather, I have several tents, a couple of canvas outfitter ones too and would be glad to bring um. Also I think I still have enough frequent flier miles for a couple of comp plane tickets. I'll check and see. Might be able to give one to whoever is the farthest away and wants to come. Sorry Bear, their only good for the lower 48.
I can pack a bag and tent on the bike seasons right, otherwise just take the truck,...Sounds like fun...
Best time for me would be March 2-10th. Otherwise its the begining of June before I'm possibly free again. Who else? phishi
Whenever would be fine by me and can provide the space and means to cook as well as when folks show up so we know how much is need know w here to pick up pigs at a fair price that could be BBQed if everyone decideds they want to or whatever. Like I say, as long as I know a bit (at least a couple weeks to a month ahead) then any time is fine by me BUT I will mention that Missouri weather is odd and while it COULD wind up in the 80s in the end of March, it would also be well advised to be prepaired for temps to be more in the 20s to 50s range especialy at night, reasonable likely hood (just as much as the 20s) of highs around 60-70. Also likely to be rainy and breezy. If everyone is up for cool weather camping then that would be fine though.
