WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A GET TOGETHER IN BLOUNT COUNTY?

Big fun today even if it was soggy as a frogs butt when we first got there. Drove down in a steady drizzle. It was not looking good at first, but a check of the radar showed all clear once the band of rain passed by.

No sign of Dub at first so I called him. He did not sound real happy. Seems his truck was stuck on the steep trail. That trail was slicker than bucket of eels , the truck was off the trail and resting against a small tree. The tree actually probably saved a very big problem and kept the truck sort of on the trail. Dub figured the best way to get unstuck was to cut the tree down, no saw to be found but I did have a hatchet in the toolbox.

Ian and Mac worked on the tree like a couple of beavers and had it lopped down in short order.

The plan worked great, Ian was able to fire the truck up and cut the wheel, it spun a bit and went back up onto the trail. He backed it quite a ways down the mudhill to flat ground. It was awesome

We had a great time, as the day wore on the sun was shining and it ended up being great weather.

But it was very wet and muddy early on, the trail the truck was on was totally wet mooshy mud. I did not need the boots by the time we left but I had dry feet the whole time. Not sure who else of the early arrivals could say that. Them boots are the shizz.

We had not been shooting all that long when the neighbor came by. Two year old taking a nap, common courtesy, and high powered rifles. The guy was so stereotypical it really was funny. Now if I had lived there I would have come over bitching, but it would have been because I had not been invited. And I would have been toting my guns inviting myself to join in the mayem.

And of course it is never an official meet and shoot unless John E Law comes to the party. Our lawman was very personable and sort of laughed that he had to come out. Seems everyone in a 7 mile area had called on the noise. He was just doing his job and never once asked us to stop shooting. Of course he did ask if we knew some guy named Neil who goes by the handle LumberJack, seems they were looking for him about some donkey porn collection they found in a storage unit.;) No worres Neil, we all denied every hearing of you.

I am pretty sure Kwe's .308 Saiga is what was drawing the unwanted attention. Aside from a .50 cal I have heard before that was the loudest rifle I have ever been around. It sounded like a bazooka.

Was nice meeting everyone. And special thanks to Ian, and especially his friend who let us shoot the crap out of his little hollow. Thanks, it was very much appreciated that you hosted us hooligans.

Thanks to all, I had a great time as well. Thanks especially to Ian for host all us hooligans and ferrying folks up and down the hill. Everyone was very generous in letting anyone shoot anything. Got to shoot a few things I've never shot before, which is always fun.

And yes, the .308 Saiga.... awesome! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!... I think it was louder than the tannerite. :up: Mike bump firing the AK was pretty impressive too. Hopefully next time it'll be a little drier... that'll make getting out considerably easier. I was a tad worried about Mike. When in doubt, GAS IT! :cool:

On to the pics...
