EDIT: Just found Dublin Farms, just a room with a bathroom, all I need. I'm going to book there.
Is there another AIRBNB close by? That is what I'm looking for. If I can get one that has 2 bedrooms I may try to split cost with someone else.
Thanks

Of course you know that 29 hs 45 minutes is about as real as me shooting 25x’s at 200 yards
It says 14.5 hours for Marilyn and I from Tomball. More like 20.
We travel with puppy’s and weak bladders.

Age! We all mostly have that problem, not a dang thing we can do about it. For me "only" 8 hours! (plus stops).and weak bladders.

Isn't that I10? The drug route? LOL you could make money and have fun, if you didn't get caught!!
There was a time when 12-hour days on the road didn't seem that bad. Today, they seem bad. So it is that we meander along, often eschewing the interstates. A seven or eight-hour day is about right. I have driven to Palm Bay, Florida in four days, but I've also taken ten. For TD7, Polly, the Airedale, will probably be staying with family in Alberta. This makes it possible to do things a little differently. Weather often determines our route, as does our choice of vehicle.
In other Tack Driver related news, I have put together a rifle specifically for the fun shoot, if it works out. It is also a mid-sized thirty caliber but not a 308. The main rifle is a 308. Both barrels are pre-1980 offerings.
One thing I learned from TD6; any stories told around the campfire must be 100% factual. Luckily, I've had many experiences. If I have to, I'm sure I can tell some of these without straying too far from the truth. I have some hunting and fishing stories which I have recounted enough that they SEEM true.
One other thing, which was mentioned by Mr. Cline, was his disappointment in our ability to tuck away the groceries. To this end, I'm not sure if it is better to starve myself down or practice overeating so as to be in peak eating form. Perhaps a little more weight would help at the bench as well. Currently at 180, I can balloon up to 205 if I have to. I don't think most people understand just how much prep is involved for something like the Tack Driver, apart from the shooting (obviously not my strong point anyway). WH

Very nice. Zack will do it right no doubt.

Pretty cool that the "Hammer" Dick Powers was high-lighting an Old Dominion Custom Rifles shirt while accepting his award. Way to go Dick Powers and Zack Donovant for jobs well done.nrpodSeotsmui25Jl42h606to8t447lg2mu1u6ht1fw 749621fhn4s56t19 ·
