Rye Patch Nugget Shoot 2015

[Sourdough Scott]

I think KLUNKER ENTERPRISES would be a great sponsor! So would this forum. And ICMJ. Hint hint Steve and Mr. Ralph.

Sounds like a great event. Does one have to reserve a camping spot? I would probably just pop-a-tent for a one day event, is there ample room for this? I am considering this trip. I would like the chance to meet some forum members as you all seem like good people, as well as try some of that southern ground.

someone's going to have to start salting Rye Patch…

(joke in case anyone is worried)

 

Have a great time, it looks like huge fun.

[spencer@wy]

You mean it isnt salted? Lol.

[Sourdough Scott]

Camping is free on Saturday night. You can come stay in my campsite. I will be there Friday midday. Leaving Sunday.

Looks like I'm going to try and make it.  Miner John of Razorback and I will be there Friday afternoon, as long as nothing serious comes up.  My knee replacement is doing well and I should be able to hunt for a bit.  Besides, I'm getting bored sitting at home recouperating from this surgery.

Information

Entry into Rye Patch State Park Saturday and Camping Saturday Night is free, complements of the Rye Patch State Park. If anyone is staying Friday night before the hunt or Sunday night the standard park/camping fees apply.

Last year only 76 of the 100 hundred tokens were located by participants so we had a second chance drawing for 24 prizes and the number one prize was given away to the last person in the second chance draw. This year who knows if all 100 hundred tokens will be located by the detectors’? So make sure you get your second chance drawing ticket from GPAA of Northern Nevada Reno.

Hey SS.

 

 Just thought I'd let you know that, from past experience, I realize how much time, effort, and personal expense is involved in an event like this and you'll still get some whining about some thing you did or didn't do.

  It's a thankless job so I see no need to say THANK YOU.

[Sourdough Scott]

Colonel Klunker. I wish you could unthank me for a thankless task. But have to give credit to those who do the real work. I only have a small part in this. And my credit is shot.

But THANKS to Larry, Glen, Marlene and Ules.

They are the ones that spend most of the year getting the sponsors and dealing with the rye patch state park people.
