Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thunder River Renegades had to move to a new range--actually a vast wasteland we're going to have to develop into a range. When the dust had settled we had packed up everything at the old range, all the steel, eight buildings, picnic tables and everything else we had pack-ratted since our inception and moved it 8 miles to the new place. We did have a forklift at both places to help out. We also had over 1/3 of the membership find time to come out in the Republic's wonderful spring weather: 80º with humidity to match. We did this over 5 days, three of which were week-days so the turn out was pretty amazing. We still will have to set up the new range as it is currently undergoing dirt work but we are planning on having a match Saturday, May 23; maybe just off hay bales but any time you get to shoot cowboy firearms is a great day. Here are the worker bees and minions that participated: Bitterwood Ranger. BPB Bristlecone Jan & Fairplay John (they’re a couple, don’t you know) Britt Cherokee Jones Cheyenne Doc Crossdraw & Sweet Magnolia Rose (monetary support and another cowboy couple here) Ellie & Rawhide (yet another couple) G. W Ketchum and his child bride Sugar Falls Sue (Susan but I gave her an Alias) Good Troy Grump E. Gunz Marshall Raylan Neshannock Leo Nile City Slick Odessa Osage Mike Ramblin’ Gambler Ranger Travis Tyree Red River Larry Red River Mac Rooster Rusty Reb Steelshot Scott and his son who we christened Abilene Kansas Kyle and Kyle’s friend Badlands Blake; all these folks are related to GW and Sugar Falls Sue except Blake who thought there was going to be free beer.

Ramblin Gambler Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Speaking of pack rats, I understand some of that pack ratted stuff included some bottled water that went bad (don't ask me how, I didn't know it was possible). Heck, we had a big barrel full of brown water that some were reluctant to drain before we loaded it up. They might have been confused about whether it was lightly colored whiskey or darkly colored water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Impressive! Having recently seen your range...impressive feat. And having that many volunteers speaks volumes about the quality of your club. Possum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 The outside of the plastic bottles of water got covered in mold. It was cleaned off but no one wanted to drink it anyway. Being frugal, we decided to keep it in case.... .... we were attacked my Martians(?) Who knows why the children of the children of the Depression do what we do (there are people in Europe starving) cr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
