It's still in the same state we left it in. The large break in the line on the Thompson farm still needs to be repaired, and the water company still needs to install the meter.... We have WAY too much sweat and money invested to back off now, but we will have to let ETH work with the water company to resolve the situation.  Besides, this looks like a party weekend, not a work weekend.

There is a junk gulley already with stuff like that. We typically shoot out in an open wheat field. The best targets are steel plates, and hangin steel frames/targets. |

Bring it! There are lots of little area to ride on... not really an ATV mecca, but you will get to see more of the place. Just dont "explore" downrange when the shootin starts! Besides, its nice to have there to run out to the 500yd mark and check/fix targets! |

Sunshine, cloudy, rain, wind, frost, hail, 28 degrees at sun up on Thanksgiving morning and 105 degrees on the 4th of July, mud up to your ass, and 1/2" cracks in the ground from lack of rain. Been there. Done that. About the only weather I have not seen at the farm is snow and tornados. HOWEVER, I have no doubt that snow AND tornados are reasonably common there. Thanks, ETH, for letting me experience the delight that is the Hun Farm. |

Dammit!
I will step off the plane in Dallas on the fucking 22nd, on my way to Seattle. Fuck! If it was only three or four days earlier! I missed Gunstock for a girl who fucking decided to go back to her boyfriend, and I missed the Hun Farm shoot in April cause my brother is a fucking pussy and wanted to go home from AZ and skip Texas.

Is the 20-21 date confirmed as THE dates? It's my weekend off, I could make that. Be nice to finally meet some fellow ARFCOMmers. Mapquest says it's like 15 hrs. I'm thinking at 75-80 MPH it'd be more like 13
. It would still be a long drive alone from the Chicago area though. Anyone else up this way going and feel like carpooling?

Mapquest rule of thumb: Take off one hour for every ten. If you eat on the go, one hour for every 7. If you drive like most off duty cops, one hour for every 5. |

I do. But I usually take a good hour or so break and have a good sit down meal on a long trip like that. I'm betting almost 13 hrs on the dot. Gonna wait til tomorrow to see what the in-car nav system tells me it'd be. |

Three questions while I'm pondering this thing: 1) Is it safe to drive a low-slung street car up the farm road (without an unreasonably high risk of getting stuck and/or losing a tire?), or should I find a freind with a truck? 2) Would it be advisable to bring a small tent or something, or is this cabin generally big enough to put a roof over everyone, or..? 3) Aside from beer, guns, strippers, stripper clips, what would be the most useful thing to bring out with me in said car or truck? |

Most people drive their cars with zero issue. I know LT left his camaro out at the entrance to the farm, but he is a wuss. No truck needed. If it rains... everyone will be getting stuck anyway.
Bringing a tent is adviseable. Cabin is decent sized.... but only a few beds, and those go pretty quickly. If you dont have one, you can always find a place on the floor of the cabin.... or sleep on the table. 
Water. There is no running water or electricity... so keep in mind, this is the same as any rustic camping trip. Just bring what you need to be comfortable.... water, food, any camping gear, etc. There is a state park nearby to take a shower and use real porcelain, if desired. I find.... with every trip, the more I go out there.... the less I bring. |

You DON'T have a truck???My friend, it's like LAW in Texas to drive a "non" car-like vehicle. Hell, when I first moved to Texas in '02, the first thing I did was lose the Firebird and aquired a pickup truck suitable for gun-racking. Some people!!!  |

I work in downtown Houston, where I consider it a crime to drive a truck. You should see the shiny, spotless, never-seen-anything-but-pavement gargantuan dually pickups some of these businessmen park in my parking garage where there's barely enough room for two small cars to pass each other or park next to each other easily. I guess really I should own both, but that's life. The car's a Trans-Am and I drive it like I'm in an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard most of the time, does that redeem me at all?
