I made it to The Whittington Center this morning.

I drove 10 hours on Saturday but had a nice short run of around 2 hours today. Met Glen Fryxell and Phil Shoemaker when I got in. There will be a bunch piling in here tonight and tomorrow.

Good ol Whittington Center! I haven't been there since 92 or 93. Got chased off the silhouette range for shooting my 338 win mag- knocked em over just fine!
Have a great week Jim!

That looks simply awful, I hope you can persevere through it all...

[Scott Tschirhart]

I’m headed that way in the morning. Be there Tuesday.

I’m really looking forward to seeing some old friends and getting to know some new ones.

Welcome back to New Mexico, gentlemen! We have our issues but it's still my favorite place.

On my first Holiday we shared a room there Jim. Sure looking forward to seeing you.

Safe travels brother!

Jim, would that be Phil Shoemaker the Alaska moose and bear guide?
If you have not made the side trip down through Cimarron to the Philmont Scout Ranch, it is worth your time just to see the Ernest Thomspon Seton stuff at the museum. Get chow at the St. James Hotel and count the bullet holes in the tin ceiling. Extra time, run down to Rayado and Kit's cabin.

have a large time y'all! Never stayed in competitor housing, but have both modern and primitive camped... excellent facilities all around.

Glen Fryxell is a gold mine of casting information and I have adopted a number of casting and lubing techniques from him.

We just crossed the Concho, horses are tired but we are making good time.

You need whiskey for your men and beer for the horses! -

Spending the night in Amarillo and we will meet a levergun member for breakfast before heading west in the morning.

My daughter and her husband arrived this afternoon. We had HEAVY rains with hail this morning. Whittington recorded 4 1/2 inches of rain in one hour. This afternoon was nice.

[Scott Tschirhart]

Lots of rain around Amarillo and some flooding.
