The Aussies Have Landed - pics from home

Post by peter richards »

We are in LA waiting for our flight to New York. Thank you to all the forum members who have been so generous making times to meet with us. It will be great to see you guys, while waiting for the flight I thought I would share some photos of my family from our Chital deer camp last Christmas.

Nice pics. If I did not know better, it looks like Pennsylvania.

If you happen to get to Targetmaster, just ask one of the guys to give me a call and I'll get there in 10 minutes. Rent yourself the machine gun of your of choice and I'll see you there!----Jack

If I didn't know better I would think that I saw real American western saddles on your horses, could it be so??? You have a fine looking family, fine horses and some beautiful country to roam in.

Aussies arrived here at 10 pm and after a snack and get-acquainted visiting, they sacked out about midnight. One slept so soundly that he did not hear the nightly coyote serenade. :)

After a big breakfast of juice, coffee, biscuits, and casserole (wild pig sausage, egg, hash browns), they are off for the days adventures in Dallas and Ft Worth.

A few local Levergunners will join the Aussies for a game dinner this evening along with plenty of gun and hunting tales.

Then they are off Wed to Waco and Texas Ranger Museum, and points west and south , ending up in Hondo to burn some powder.

More to come.

I can try. Although I have practiced much, I am still no master.

It was a good time and I saw this morning that you did not hit the drive gate with that little 6 wheeler you drive.
Peter and friends are now off to Cabelas in Allen and then Waco and then Lampasas and points west and south.

Absolutely! I hated to leave good company, but I was getting sleepy by the time I made it home...

Charles, a big "Thank you" to you and the missus. I hope to visit with Levergun folks again.

Absolutely CRS. Thank you and the missus for your hospitality and opening up your home to that motley crew that showed up. It was great to see folks.
