Re: Caldwell Drive and Chisholm Trail Hunt
I'm really sad I couldn't come. Let anyone who asks know that my prof's piled on a ton of stuff for my Midterms this coming week, and most of it is due on Monday. I've been really depressed last night and today about not being able to meet all of my friends... but I'm glad you all are having a really awesome time out there!

Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
We are home safe and sound, Burdie , Stoney and Evy, thanks for an awesome time. Would do it again in a heartbeat. I know it was a lot of work and we sincerely appreciate your efforts. I would call it a huge success. Everyone please check in when you get home. It was truly a pleasure meeting each of you. What a great group of people and thanks for making us feel so welcome. Will have pics up soon.
Stoney and Burdie I would like to thank you guys for putting on a great hunt. Now I have to give some shout outs to my pals and if I forget to put you on here, sorry but I can't remember everyone. So to greg573, mastereagle, baldingboy, watercolor, stretchmodel, eagle77, tin nugget, JD, rob in ks, noodle, metal granny, river rat, Nana and her great a$$ (charlie), and last but definitely least is ridge_runner and Eric in ks. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I hope you all make it home safe.
Oh yeah ridge_runner I wanted to tell you that FREDDY FENDER ROCKS
The 'Rowdy Bunch Rally' was teriffic! It was so special to see old friends and familiar faces,along with a great group of new 'friends' which I only knew from their tnet names.The name 'Rowdy Bunch' proved to be almost more than I could handle.It was a chore keeping them under control where they wouldn't embarass me in public.Many times my face turned red from their antics.I'm sure they will have their 'tall tales' to tell.I sincereiy hope all had a safe trip home(from the casino),the last time I saw ridgerunner,schlooppy,greg,they had a 500lb gorilla dealing blackjack to them-goodluck boys!,no just kidding in case any wives are eavesdropping.Everyone drive safely and let's do it again soon.I love each and everyone of you.God Bless.(That'll make them think twice before telling any wild stories about me).Burdie,Stoney,Evy,Thank You again for the great time and all the effort it took and it was a great success.And a special 'thank you' to Burdie's wife,daughter,daughter-in-law and son for the great food and all the effort that it took without much ado from Burdie,I might add.Goodnight folks,later.Well,when I started to post,I see Schlooppy made it home ok.He's a great guy and I wish I could have kept up with that 'group' but Gunsmoke said he had to get his sleep.Take care guys.
Vickie and I are back at her house near Wichita; I'll be driving home tomorrow.
Wonderful to see all that made it - 1st timers as well as the returnees (from last year's hunt).
Vickie sez she enjoyed meeting every one of you guys, had a wonderful time. She really appreciates all the effort that went into the event (as do we all!). I don't know that I've convinced her of the fun that is MDing, but there's still time.
I'm sunburned, achy, and pooped. It was terrific!

p.s.
(from Warsawdaddy)I love each and everyone of you.God Bless.(That'll make them think twice before telling any wild stories about me).
Warsawdaddy, it's way too late to try and stop those tales!
River Rat, Dan and I took a diversion route from Caldwell. Found ourselves in SE Oklahoma. Did you guys know there is a hidden treasure down here? Ouachita National Forest. Mountains, valleys, caves, beautiful pines and evergreens. Looks for all the world like Idaho. We couldn't believe it. My a$$ (from Pacific NW) thought he had died and gone home. Anyway, we spent a couple of hours in the mountains and found ourselves down in Broken Bow, OK, for the night. Still couldn't hold RR down. She's out in the backyard MDing within an hour of landing. Told her it was illegal (who really knows, this is Okie territory ). She turned away and found a quarter. Couldn't hold her back!! Meanwhile, my a$$ perched himself on an electrical box and fiddled away, keeping her company. Homewardbound in the morning, rain all the way! Will download pics on Tuesday. -Noodle
Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer "am I worth dying for?" - Eleanor Roosevelt
How do I even begin....I guess by saying I made it home ok. All sunburnt, tired, back hurts, still have my headache from Friday night's activities, so on and so on!!! But seriously I suppose I should start by thanking everyone that took special interest in setting up this great gathering for us Tnetters.....Burdie, Stoney, great job....Please let your significant others and family know that all was great.... The pulled pork, one of my favorites, was out of this world. I had a wonderful time and hope that I didn't make an A$$ out of myself. Oh, wait a minute....Wrong side of the coin!!!!! Hope I didn't make an A*S out of myself. Anyhow, the hunts were awesome. I have to again give it up for Burdie and Stoney for allowing us to hunt such a "Prime Find" spot. Some awesome finds were made!!! Wait for the pics!!!! Also, some firsts were found and that's a special feeling for us TH'ers!!! Texas Connection and River Rat, to name a few, found some firsts and I'd like to say to them "You Lucky Dogs"!
I again met up with some great folks....Last years hunt was the start of some great friendships that will last a lifetime. The CTH hunt just glued us all back together again for some more good time antics. I'm sure someone will be glad to plan another hunt just to keep the "Rowdy Bunch", as Warsawdaddy would say, alive!!!!
Warsawdaddy, I saw the pics....There's no getting out of this one for you. Oh, and by the way, the good folks of whatever casino we were in in OK were kind enough to send me out the front door with some cold hard cash. I won't say how much but it was enough to pay for the next 10 or 15 hunts that come up.... You should've stayed around. The gorilla left and Pocahontas showed up. She liked me I think. All in all the ones that stayed around to watch me cash out didn't get that much sleep. Greg, next time you might think of bringing a gas mask.... Inside joke y'all....
RR, Noodle and A$$, Nana and A$$, my bud Warsawdaddy, Texas Connection, Timberwolf and A$$, ok ok I won't name them all but guys I had a wonderful time on and off the fields....
I was excited to see some new faces and proud to have met you all.
River Rat....I would like to see a picture of the prize you won once you have finished it...Congrats! Mastereagle, could you please do me a favor and post that pic for me.....Folks, he took a picture of a find I made this morning. This find was a first for me. I thank Burdie for allowing that find. He was kind enough to take us to another site that I'm positive will produce many more finds like this one for years to come.....If anyone can help me with any info once the pic is posted please feel free to assist.
Again, thanks for allowing me the pleasure of y'alls friendships....To my friend Relikhunter, you're fired. You didn't show up!!!! Sleazysnoopy and I are disappointed. To my good bud that did show up, John (Schloopy Aka Sleazysnoopy) I'll never forget you saving me from certain boxing stardom Friday night....I coulda took em. Mastereagle and baldingboy sorry you had to be part of it, he, he!!!!!! Bet you'd do it again though.... Eric in Kansas, I hope your headache is gone, thanks for the one night stay in the RV!!!! Yes, I did enjoy the sandwich and the casual walk around Caldwell!!!!! Oh, and never take what's not yours and put it in your pocket. I'm glad you didn't go to the Casino with us. I may've had to borrow a bike just to get my money back. Also if you need my address to send the check let me know.. Ha, ha!!!!
I'm sure I'll think of more to write later. I'm sure you're thinking NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Until then,
Love to you all!!!!!!!!
RR
Found myself once, and it wasn't even with the DFX!!!!!
