OK folks - time now to start firming this up. Started this new thread but will notify of it on old one. caseydog and I will be having a chat soon when we meet at a shoot - to get some plans sorted and into shape.
Main thing tho now, over next week or so, is to have confirmations please on who is coming, so we have a good idea re numbers. Seems like potentially we have quite a good number but - if you said yes before - say it again if still up for this, so we know.
Thus far re food - seems like an easy notion is - bring some stuff - basics like burgers, dogs, buns, etc - enough for your self and travel companions - plus a bit. That way - we should have plenty to suit when we do a cook-up later in day.
caseydog says he has a 64 quart cool box so - if that is primed with ice on the day - just bring some 6 or 12 packs of soda - which can then go in it. Your own cool boxes too of course will be handy.
OK - that's it for now but - all planning to come please watch this space as we get nearer to time. This should be a great fun day. I and caseydog will be RO'ing - as ever, safety is paramount.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the directions - copied from other thread, so you still have it for reference. Major queries on that - PM me or caseydog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From #1 to #4 is just an increase in scale - to give more detail. Hopefully these will be pretty much enough on their own. Note - for initial start point with your own maps - check out R219, R22 and relationships with Johnstown PA and Ebensburg PA.
We will put a sign at the entrance to track on R164 and another arrow sign further up. Plus, I'll check with Ray and see if we can expect a useful cell phone signal - should be Ok - and that way we can ''talk you in'' if any prob's.
The approx distance from Portage, driving to East - to range - is in region of three miles. From the tight curve to East, near reservoir, is approx half mile or so when heading West, to range track. Oh and BTW - driving East is a gradual up grade in region of range track.
He reminded me - there is a block built grill thing there already so - chances are we'll bring some charcoal and get a good fire going later in the day - therefore, probably be good if folks throw in some dogs and burgers etc.
Please post or PM if queries thus far. Pic #3 should in the end be probably the best final reference.
