This is an anual event that we never miss. Here are some random pics from last years shindig.

Flag raising ceremony parade...

This is my little round buddy, Tired Bear. This gentleman is like a father to me...


That there mess is my lodge from last year. The old marquis was finally retired this spring.

or we could organize one of our own and use the entry proceeds to make member paraphanalia and even convince Mongrel to builds us a rifle for a top prize at the shooting event.....


I could go on for hours

Roaring Bull.... You might check with the Corp of Engineers.  The Corp has land for hunting so it's possible they would let a group have a Rendezvous on some of their land.  Lake of the Pines would be a good place to start.

Great pics and looks like  a Great Time !!




About 15 minutes from me here in Southern Oregon is Nat'l Forest that can be used for such with just going in and asking for a permit if monies will be made . But if its just a bunch of guys camping and shooting no permit required . Depending on time of year it could fire season as it is now.

 Kant beat a git-together liek that ... sure nuff shinnun times.
Gotta be something close for Jerry to get too ... he needs to get his gear in proper order. 
Somebody jus' run on by his house n kiddynapp him for a few days.
... he may not want to leave his "air-conditioned" workshop.
Thanks for sharing the pictures RANGER ... LOL

Travel ain't in the cards for me, lads, not for awhile yet. A small matter of money and a much larger matter of not having time out from making that money. Sort of a self-imposed condition of indentured servitude -- paying off some debts that were the price of my freedom.

You who can should come to Friendship, September or next June. It's six miles from my house so I can sneak down there between jobs.
