Where to go on 4 day weekend? Anybody familiar with Marfa area?

[macshooter]

National parks mean people IMO. If I had to, I'd drive my ass out to the Gila National Wilderness (in NM) and spend a couple days there. Sleeping under the stars is awesome. You can see them all in the Gila, and even watch satellites go by as you're drifting off to sleep.

Yeah. That's nice. But you need a lot more than 4 days to do that right. And you ain't anywhere close. That's two solid days on the road. I guess you get a cabin on Lake Roberts for 2 days and hit the catwalk or the cliff dwellings.

Marfa was the home of the 1st Cav Regt. when they turned in their horses and moved to Fort Knox to become mechanized in 1932.

Maybe you could go find the grave stone of Louie.

4 days off. Just get in the car and drive and se where you end up.

I like it. This is my favorite vacation.

Brenham - Blue Bell Factory.

Independence, TX - historical sites including original site of Baylor U, and Sam Houston's baptism site.

Washington on the Brazos, TX - birthplace of Texas. Awesome park there.

Shiner - Shiner Brewery

Gonzalez - "Come and Take it!"

Goliad - Fannin Memorial & the old fort

Fannin, TX - McMillans BBQ


Lots of TX history sites in that area, and lots of camping spots along the way too.

Check Out the TDPW site.

I've been there three times now. Was there last fall, going again in November.

Cabin? Hell no, I'd wander down to Alum Camp. Going down with two days' supplies would be light, compared to the week that I usually spend.

I decided that my camping gear isn't together, and I don't want to deal with getting it all ready to go in a big rush. So I'm going to do "4 days, 4 bulk packs".

Anybody want to go shooting?

I get off at 3 on Saturday and I'm off on Sunday, mother in law is coming into town but post up when and where you're heading and I might make it out.

Will do! Might even get a couple rounds of skeet in this weekend. I've only shot a couple, but they were fun.

You shoot skeet much? I need to figure out how much lead from each position, mainly from the center/rear ones.

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

No honestly I've only shot skeet about 3-4 times total but the last time was at a range they had on Camp Pendleton a little less than a year ago, would love to get into it more though.


A couple pics from the last time, had a blast, also picked up a belt clip shell box holder because I tried a buddy's and thought it was great, they're about $10 if you want me to snag you one from work.

 

[M. Sage]

Heh, so we'll shoot for money, then? ROFL

Sure how bout $1/round lol

LOL, if you're as "good" as I am at skeet, this is going to be hilarious.

Let's just say we'll probably end up in a rock, paper, scissors match lmao.

Try sporting clays. I think it's more fun.

It's like golf with a shotgun. You have 10 to 20 stations / holes. Each has a different layout, and different shot angle: rolling across the ground, crossing left, crossing right, toward you, away from you, straight up, dropping over trees into you, etc.

It's pretty cool. $35 a round here locally.

Verdict is reached and M. Sage kicked my ass in skeet, was fun though. Wife snapped these.

Does anyone know where I can go camping and plink around? Been looking for a spot to do that and be isolated enough to target shoot.
