Our site is part of the older Chisholm Trail where the cowboys camped till the cattle, were pushed on North. We just recently found out that this was one of the many areas where the 1893 future homesteaders camped while waiting for the land run. Over 10,000 people passed this area. In 1905 a street ran by this area with a home on the corner. Now long gone, just the secrets that are left in the ground remain.
The hunt site is on private property. Please treat it as such. The gentleman who owns the property is very pleased to permit the hunt on his place. We feel sure that members will appreciate his courtesy and conduct themselves accordingly.

Announcement

The schedule is set for the BORDELLO SKIT. This skit is for our group only. It will start at 4:30 and end at 5:30 on FRIDAY night. They can only take 15 at a time. You go through three rooms and out the door. Sounds just like the real thing in the old days to me. Then the next group goes till everyone that wants to see it has a chance. Then we have our meal at the fair building.

Burdie

Be at the fair building Friday by 3:00 to 4:00 to get name tag and sign waiver.

Love the pic it is sooo cute !

 

[cybercop106]

Well, all packed and now its shower time! Ya'll keep things pumped up and we'll have a fire going when you get there. Everyone please be careful!

Steve

WOW..... you know it's really some kind of seriously awesome event when Steve actually gets cleaned up!!!! We really appreciate it buddy!!!!

Wal-Mart is okay, but for most items I don't want to have to bring or take back, I go to a Dollar store. Is that what the Dollar Junction in Caldwell is or maybe there's one somewhere between there and South Haven? I'm staying at the Motel 6 also. Oh, and Stan or Dennis (or any of you guys driving who have extra room), if you have one, could you bring an extra folding chair for me and my partner who have to fly in and can't fit them in our suitcases!? pleeeeeeeease!?!? (and "thank you")

BTW, a couple of us hardcore TH'ers are going to sneak in some swinging Sun after 12:30pm too. Anyone else gonna still be around that wants to keep hunting?!

P.S. Bran, I gave my wife your cell # as a backup......

 

[bill-USA]

Well, this is the unofficial "Before" photo of the camping area.

 

[River Rat]

I still have 1 case of the May & June '08 issues of Western & Eastern Treasures magazines left from the LBH. Will be lugging it to CTH3...anyone who wants a copy of each please feel free to grab. Any left overs can be used for the camp fire

LA pins/small bottles of Tabasco sauce/packets of Creole seasoning for those who did not attend LBH.

I'll have to second the chair thing... wow, that's the only thing I hadn't planned for. Yes, if anyone else has a couple extra chairs, we'd appreciate it. If not, a big ol' log would suffice.

And IF it's not raining, we might sneak in some Sunday afternoon detectin'... the weather doesn't seem to be looking so hot for Sunday or Monday.

No problem... everyone that needs it is welcome to use my cell as an emergency contact number. Unless of course there is an emergency of our own back in Springfield and we have to leave... but Lord Willing, that won't be the case.

Bran <><

 

[godisnum1]

And Bill... that campsite is gonna look like one of those Spring Break "after parties" when we're finished with it!!!
KIDDING... but we are gonna have a fantastic time, and we'll be sure to tidy up afterwards before we leave.

Bran <><

 

[bill-USA]

Is it to late to have some one swing by and get me. 100 miles east of chicago.

I show 873 miles to Howe, In. Don't think I could get there and back in time. Don't know if anyone is coming from that area or further east, but from Caldwell, where I am at the moment it doesn't look do - able, cause I don't drive around the clock any more. Sorry, could have made it if you had asked earlier. Hopefully you will be ready next year, and can ask sooner........... Or course, who knows where I'll be then?

 

[Monty]

Note to self ,"Bring an extra lawn chair for Hannah. Bran can sit on the log"! Tee Hee! Would that be what is known as a "bump on a log"? Sorry to give you such a hard time Bran but it is so easy and I know you can take it. You're one of the best in my book. Monty

Well if there were only one chair left, she knows I'd have her sittin' in it anyway. There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for that girl....

And btw, you better have my log waitin' on me when I get there. If it's not to much trouble to fashion it into a La-Z-Boy.......
You're the greatest Monty!!! You'll do fine in my Royal Court!
