I've talked to her and she said she don't know if she's able to go or not.. doesn't sound like it. but cross your fingers.. I might just be able to shove her in a duffel bag and toss her in the back of my truck with her dog and highjack them over .. lol we'll see.. you know if we bribe her.. with promises of ice cream for breakfast.. I'm pretty sure we can get her to come.. LOL..

Hey Roxy, if you want to bribe Jamie with something, tell her there will be some green burritos there. Hey if you're going to go, then there's no reason for her not to go. I'm definitely going this year, probably Sat through Wednesday.. See you there!

I'm definitely going this year, probably Sat through Wednesday.. See you there! Hey Ed, if that's your schedule, then that will be mine too. I'm off that week and can be flexible in order to have some riders with me if they fly in to El Paso. Jamie, will you be going? That makes three to ride in the Green Burrito, (aka Ford Explorer.) Two more can ride albeit a tight squeeze with all the sleeping bags, tools and such. Let me know if anyone else wants to ride with us. Condor

Roxy, You don't need a back window just a heavy jacket.Plastic looks good but don't duct tape it to the car. the tape comes off. Year before we were going down the road to WWR pulling our 5th wheel. we would see cows running as we went by them, then we saw horses running and didn't know why they where running. came to a stop sign and looked out the back window and saw our rubber roof to the 5th wheel hanging on the side of the 5th. pulled over got on the roof duct taped it all up and off we went for about 10 miles before the roof was flapping again. We did make it to WWR.So just come on.Just think that you are making a memory he,he

LOL lass.. are you crazy girl? that's all I need is for something else to be flappin in the wind hanging out my window..Trust me.. It would be a hazard to the road if I didn't have one in the back.. My kid likes to toss things overboard.. out the window.. down the drains.. that sorta thing.. I'd just hate to see him flappin out the window next.. lol.. there's nothing like child lock windows !!! who ever invented that Rules this Moms world! ..

Condor, what are you trying to do? Don't you remember last time? There were only 3 of us in Burrito and half the time we couldn't find Jamie with all the stuff in the back seat! Tight squeeze? ?? hahaha!

Ha, ha! Didn't think about that Ed. Okay, you're all uninvited. Only three hounds can ride in the Burrito. Looks like Jamie, Ed and I have first dibs.

I got an e-mail from Jan Woodward this morning. She's excited about having us again this year. The large cabin is already reserved and tenters from our group will be allowed to setup camp in the cabin area (Jan doesn't allow tenting up by the cabins any more but is making an exception for us). Jan has asked that we "take it easy" on the septic system. There is also camp sites available down by the RV park with bathroom and shower as well. Also, Jan has asked that we do not use saws to cut up material before purchasing.... can't say that I blame her really... Here is the current head count: Big Cabin:WyckedWyre Irish Dave RockDS Akansan Blarney Stoner Rockieroad Little Cabin:RockyRacoon Sher Morgan Larson McCarley Tent:Condor MidnightRoxy - (unless you want to be in the cabin Roxy... just let me know) DesertDweller Rodney? (Mr. DesertDweller) RV:Mailman Silverlass There's still plenty of time to sign up.... if you would like to attend please contact me so I can notify the Woodwards with the updated head count. Oh yeah.... the episode of Cash & Treasures that is featuring Woodward Ranch will air Jan. 17, 2009, at 8:30 ET. One more thing.... Our group will be given access to areas on the Ranch that are closed to everyone else. Thanks, Dan

I just got off the phone with Kim. She doesn't think that she will be able to make the WWR trip this year. Her travel buddy can't go and Kim doesn't want to do the drive alone. She did say that if her plans change she will just bring a tent. I'm definitely going to miss her this year as I'm sure we all will.... Dan If anyone else needs to back out, please let me know as soon as you can. Here's the updated list: Big Cabin: Susan Irish Dave Robert Ronda Dan Ed Rockieroad (?) Tent: Gil Roxi (?) Jamie Rodney (?)

Real glad to hear that Rocksi! I think you'll love the ranch.
Here's the way I see the cost breakdown...
The cabin rental for 7 days is 1,200 dollars. For 7 people that's about 25 bucks (24.57) per night. You can sleep in the cabin or in a tent... your choice. If we have more than 7 show up those folks can pitch a tent for 25 bucks per night around the cabin site.
Of course... the cabin rental works out to 25 per night only if there are 7 people in it for 7 days. I need to know how many days everyone is planning to stay... it's tricky business figuring the costs without knowing more...
So... if everyone who plans to make the trip would let me know how many days you are going to stay, that would be great.
Susan Dave Robert Ronda Dan - 7 days Ed - 3 days Rockieroad Gil - 3 days Rocksi Llana - 7 days Jamie Rodney
RV: Don & Dorothy - 7 days
Thanks everyone! Really looking forward to the Blitz!!
Dan
Oh... don't forget! The episode of Cash & Treasures featuring Woodward Ranch airs tomorrow night on the Travel Channel, 9pm ET.

When I first got hooked on rocks, it was with a lady I worked for that had a house at Terlingua Ranch. She was a serious rockhound ad we spent a day at Woodward ranch and she taught me a little about rocks. First time I ever saw anybody lick a rock and I thought that was the grossest thing I had ever seen. By the end of the day, I had forgotten how gross it was and was licking almost everything I picked up. I got stopped by the border patrol on the way home and they wanted to look in my trunk. Guess since the T-Bird was a lot lower in the back than the front they thought I was hauling illegals. They opened the trunk and looked at me like I was totally insane. Trunk was full of rocks, cactus and west Texas dirt. One of the agents said "Don't ya'll have enough rocks, cactus and dirt in Medina without have to haul all this back home with you?"' That was back in '95 and I think it high time I went out there again. So, sign me up! Holy cow, now that I think about it, that was the last vacation I had. I'll do the tent thing. And no T-Bird this time, heavy duty F250. Lot more room for rocks! Hopefully, I can be there for the entire 7 days, but will let you know for sure as soon as I figure it out. No problem taking time off. Problem will be how much $ I can relieve my savings account of. llana

This looks like it will be so much fun! I wish I could go but my son is coming here for spring break instead of me going there for spring break. If you guys do this every year, my goal is to be in next year. Fran
