Go for it, Lucky!! 8) Everyone is sure to have a great time hunting for those CW relics!! Isn't this the place where you were finding the buttons a couple of years ago? That could be an awesome site to hunt!!!

OK, I am still working on a date for the hunt. A lot of the hold up is with my dad. He is currently in the hospital with some serious heart problems, so I have been spending a lot of time there. They are going to attempt a procedure tomorrow to try and restore a normal heart rhythm. They tried 2 weeks ago and it did not work. He is starting to retain fluid and it is getting harder for him to breath or just move. So we sure could use some prayers. The site is in Athens. http://www.mostateparks.com/athens.htm My property is spread out thought the park. So each lot has to be taped off so no one wanders on to state property. So, yes you would be hunting in a state historical site but on private property. I am trying to get some more property to hunt, but will need so more time to talk with the owner. I will let you know when I get a few dates in mind and let everyone pick which one would be the best. The website should tell about available camping and there is a hotel in Kahoka, which is 11 miles away.

Lucky add our prayers to the others for your dad! You take care of your family we will wait for you to let us know how he is then anything else can wait!

First things first, take care of your Dad and then we will work on having a hunt. I know exactly what you are going through and it is rough. My pops is still here and as ornery as ever so don't give up hope. 14 years ago they said he was only gonna last 2 more years at the most and he has stuck around just to prove them wrong. If and when you are ready to set things up just let me know, I'll be glad to help out however I can. My best talent is cooking so if you want to have a big cookout while we are all there I would be more then happy to volunteer to feed everyone. I'll bet Nick Papageorgio will be there too, we will let him do the dishes when it's over (he may want to do a little cooking too...we'll see)

My prayers go out to you, your Dad, and your family. That's so gracious of you to volunteer your property and all
your efforts for a Missouri Hunt. However, as everyone before me has said; Your Dad comes first. We all
understand and appreciate all your efforts.

Keep us posted, take care and "God Bless".

Count me in. Been a heart patient since 1995 and know how unpredictable things can be, Don't rush things. I've seen a couple of really good hunts fall apart lately and would like to make one soon. Check with some of the people who have hosted hunts in the midwest and get some ideas how to make it more fun for everyone. Monty

Lucky,
Most importantly I'm hoping for a quick return to good health and comfort for your Dad and for your family to soon be relieved of this situation.

It seems that many of us who follow this board are eager to meet and with your generous proposal get to enjoy our hobby in a extraordinary historic location for the mid-west.

I don't wish to give away any secrets but with what you have said I believe the area you are referring to is in fact about as far north-west Missouri as one can get. Heck, it might even be closer to Canada than it is to the bootheal.

For those of you who are interested in the history of the area check these out.
