Elko, NV Labor Day Camping Meet (Aug 29th-Sept 1st)

[taylorRichie]

I haven't done any other kind of camping for a long time...

I'll bring a shovel if the dirt will be provided. And of course plenty of water, and I need to get some decent gas cans and get that system worked out.

Bart can you link me to your buddy in Chicago who does the CO2 kits? I think I'll get a 10# kit in the next couple weeks.

Never been to the Ruby Mountains...

Tell him I sent you. His name is Tom.

Along with my shotty, I will have the little guns with me too! My childhood silhouette shooter - Ruger Mark I .22 and an air gun I just ordered... what can I say, I want to shoot at home! Check it out though... the Russian Baikal IZH-61: http://www.network54.com/Forum/79537...+previous+post)

Damn, that this is pretty sick looking. What does it shoot? Pellets? BBs? Airsoft BBs?

Hey everyone,

I have been talking to a couple guys on this forum:

http://www.banginbones.com/forum.shtml

One of the guys seems to know the area pretty well and offered to show us around. I didn't agree to anything yet, as I wanted to get a consensus from everyone who is coming. I have no idea who the dude is, but he seems somewhat keen to meet us and our VXes. I have no opinion either way, so I just wanted to see what you guys think before I reply with a yes or a no on having him give us a tour...

Bart

What does he drive?

[nfpgasmask]

Since we are going in pretty much blind it might be a good idea to have a... um... good idea... of where we could and/or should go. When he says "tour", I would like to know more about what that means... so color me curious.

I'll reply back and see if I can get a little more info on what/where he would like to take us. Honestly, I would like to see some of the natural areas out there, so maybe it would be a good idea.

What does he drive?

Well, considering his name on that forum, I would say a Hummer.

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

Hummerboy seems to be on his game and jazzed to have some people to chill with. I'm cool with a tour or whatever, I know we are going to have a good time with good pics no matter where we decide to go. How are you going to include a Hummer in your movie tho?

Yeah, I will see what I can work out with him. That reminds me, I need to update the movie thread. I drew up a storyboard for the opening. I just haven't had a chance to scan it. I will try to tonight.

We are thinking about this. I can't find much info about the area. Jeepers Jamboree does hold an event in the Ruby Mountains every year but no details as to exactly what trails.

OK, so this area is north about 1.5 hours from Elko and looks nice. I found this campsite:

They have vault toilets there. So for the ladies going along, can you guys handle this? I looked at all the other campsites in this area and none of them seem to have running water or showers.

Then there is the Ruby Lake area south of Elko, I think this area is about 2 hours south, and here we have piped water and vault crappers.

This one also looks nice:

Personally, I would not mind camping 2 nights at one site, and then moving to another site for the 3rd night so we can see more of the area. I have absolutely no idea how crowded it will be there, but I will try to get an idea from HummerBoy.

I am trying to find spots where my wife will be more comfortable so she can come along.

Thanks for the hard work, Bart!
I am not too sure about the first campsite. No trees and it says it's very bust during hunting season.
I would prefer to stay @ one site so as not to spend too much of the limited vacation time setting up and breaking camp.....

Yeah, I suppose, with a tent like yours I don't blame you!! That's fine with me. This one is the one I would like to stay at:

http://www.campingguidenevada.com/cg...pcode=NVELKTHO

Its supposed to be one of the most scenic campsites in Nevada. I looked at all the sites and they are all first come-first served so I am trying to see if maybe HummerBoy can help out.

Bart

[snowtrooper1966]

Yea, that tent is big!
Too funny, going through all the sites earlier, that is the one I liked best!
Must be the one.
Now we have ROM, the Dark Knight and the Thomas Canyon campground
Best,

.177 Match pellets - I think at 750 fps.

Ouch. Those would sting and then some probably. My brother wants me to buy an airsoft gun so we can shoot eachother.

Bart

[nfpgasmask]

HAHA! Did your brother move to Reno too?

Yeah, he's here...

So are you going to?
