Smokin' in the Rockies 2nd annual gathering

[bbally]

In case people are starting to make travel plans I wanted to get the date up for this event.

We will be at the cattle ranch on the Divide Road between Whitewater and Gateway Colorado.

August 12th through the 14th 2011. We can accomodate early arrivals and later departers.

We have camping hook ups for electric, hot showers are available in the shower house.

We have room in some bunk houses and a cabin for lady' traveling alone.

I am charging a fee this year. It will cost $20.00 to attend. Money is going to the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund.

The website for the event is Smokin in the Rockies It is just a place holder now, but will go live as soon as the ticket sales office links are in place.

What are the roads like leading to the ranch ? I ask because me and a couple of buddies do a 10 day motorcycle ride at that same time every year. We've covered all the western states a few times and looking for something different this year, Colorado could be the place but the roads would have to be decent as we all ride big touring bikes.....

It is a graded county road. It has an all weather gravel surface. But if it rains you would want to wait about two hours before getting on it. The adobe can get like snot when first wet. Once it soaks it is ok again. But that first hour or so it a sombitch.

Love to have you all.

I can set up the hotel Bbally for you. (Tent trailer Jayco) I stay in the cabin so I could drag that up. You want to be onsite, believe me.

That is another cabin on the property...... I reserve it for women traveling alone that want to participate.

Besides that many smokin' hot women would killya! Nice way to die, but dead just the same

I also have some hired hand campers available. They aint nothin pretty, but you can sleep in the buzzed pretty well.

Just a few updates that need to be out there.......



Pastor Terry (old country preacher) will be attending again (mostly to give instant forgiveness to you sinners!) to perform the Sunday Morning services. He will also be doing the Dutch Oven cooking again. Pastor will also run the gun range again for the children and adults.



Saturday there will be a public tasting to help raise more money for the scholarship program. Anyone wanting to participate will receive meat to cook and pass out to attendees.



Band is lined up for Saturday night.



Stll could use three teachers..... so if any of you have something to teach you can contact me and I will put in the picnic table circle to show what you know. If you are thinking about it, but have trouble thinking you can teach it, let me know I can help you get used to speak with people.



I know two of you are flying in so far.... GJT is the airport code for anyone else thinking of it. I can have one of the ranch hunting busses pick you up if required.



Some of you wanted to come in early, that is fine, if you need a listing of things to do let me know there is a lot of stuff to see.

Going to have to cancel the event this year. Found out Friday the owners decided to shut down the company I work for and retire for good.

I will be out looking for more work. I have the catering I do, but that is not enough to keep me going so I am going to have to cancel the event and concentrate on finding another engineering job.

[Texas-Hunter]

Well that blows duck... Wish you luck on finding more work.. I know you will, hard to keep a hard working man down..
