Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Misty and the crew have been working hard at Founder's Ranch, getting it ready for End of Trail. They have been doing an incredible amount of work! Here's the latest post: "Well... Founders Ranch got some rain! A LOT of rain VERY fast. 10 days from EOT... and now a lot of extra road work and clean up to do! We’ll do our best to get everything back into tip top shape for everyone- but WOW- it’s truly amazing (and devastating!) what water can do in a few hours! Plus side- at least it happened now and not DURING END of TRAIL!! " You can bet that by the time EoT begins, Misty will have the place looking pristine. It's going to be a great match!

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The bridge to the chapel was just painted last Saturday. A good hosing might put it back in good shape. My place west of the Manzanos got a good drenching from the same storm system but no damage. For those going to EOT be warned that the summer rain season is forecast to start early this year. Be prepared for late afternoon thunderstorms. If camping on-range selecting a site on one of the graveled areas would be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Pretty big storm, but not nearly as bad as the one in late July 2010. Really trashed the place. Hopefully we won't get another one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Posting on Facebook when we have a perfectly good and recently upgraded Wire? Blasphemy! One thing about the southwest. A dirt road or trail is nothing but a future gully if you let things go... Good luck getting everything in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title of this thread....... "EoT posts from Misty, for those who aren't on FB", Seriously? Pat Riot has it right, why not use the SASS forum for contacting SASS members? I check the SASS Wire everyday but personally have no use for Facebook and now am curious as to what I'm missing out on since I don't have a facebook account! Misty, come on in, the water is just fine and we won't bite, besides.........from what I hear, facebook appears to be for those who want to bash SASS not promote it!

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 While I have no use for facebook, I understand that SASS gets a lot of exposure on it. Some good, some not so good. However, I appreciate this thread as it lets those of us who won't go to facebook know what is happening. Also the SASS Board is meeting now so Misty is busy.

Shotgun Clay Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Stopped by this morning to check on the clays range. The gullies we filled in after a similar drenching in October have been opened up again, and a lot of gravel moved down into arroyos from the range road. Dried up enough that we will still be opening tomorrow. Jack Diamond has been clearing up the main road with the tractor, and things are coming together. The longhorns have been penned up so they can't wander to the north fence line where the damage occurred. Should be back in business in no time.

Judge'm All Duncan, SASS#67320 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 You guys that are bashing the Facebook thing. It's really easy to post pictures on Facebook from a cell phone. Not nearly as time consuming. SO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. IT GOT POSTED ON YOUR PRECIOUS WIRE. The folks who post on the different SASS groups on Facebook post lots of great videos and have informative conversations. If the administrators in those groups don't like comments they can get rid of yhem. There is a lot of great SASS videos from all over the world available on Facebook. So you guys can find another thing to complain about. Off the soapbox now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Does seem wrong to have to go to another site, especially one that doesn't care about your privacy to learn/see SASS stuff, especially from SASS.

Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hey folks, Ease up. Misty didn't ask me to post these pics. They were on her personal public FB page and I thought you might be interested. If this is going to stir up a hornet's nest I just won't post anything else and pull my post. There are a lot of interesting personal SASS related FB pages out there. Some related to SASS Guns and Ammo, some related to match videos, some related to pictures of SASS shooters, Some generally related to NCOWS or CAS in general, some aimed at prospective shooters, others at WTC... There's even an official SASS FB page for those who cruise FB, know nothing of SASS, and may find it interesting. There are many, many web pages for individual clubs and annual matches. Just because you choose not to interrelate with some sites does not make them any less valid. Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 For the folks that are not Facebook users - your missing out many pages that are specific firearms related ... with discussion and information you'll not find on the SASS Wire - including firearms specific pages, all the firearms associations, etc, etc, etc. A couple of prominent SASS members also post daily on their pages, ie Capt George Baylor and Colt Faro who I'm linked to as a 'Friend' in addition to Misty Example of one page that is one of my shortcuts is Firearms Gunsmithing ... I have a 22LR Marlin Model 80 DL (peep sight model) with Ballard rifling find it's way into my safe. 98% condition and a perfect bore with one minor part broken - the cartridge guide. We had a thread going on the subject from gun owners all over the US with their experience where to get the part and how to fix it. Nice part too was that many knew the difference between Ballard rifling vrs Marlin's Micro Groove rifling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
