2. May I suggest

really really big ass speakers

Like they used when trying to smoke out Noriega and Koresh

[Jacobin]

36. What is that thing going across your screen?

I looks like a snorkel or a vertical car muffler, or....wuh?

[Virginian]

40. It is his signature line. Check his userid. n/t

[derby378]

3. Notice that one of the streets is "Mattlage Road?"

Irony, or poetic justice? I don't know. But it's still sweet.

[achtung_circus]

8. It's simple

roads are named after original settler, ie. that's the road to the Mattlage's.

[all.of.me]

38. i caught that, too.

is the family feuding?! hahaha

[bahrbearian]

4. Strange "Canaan Church Road" like out of Carnival.

[txindy]

6. Okay, I'm not a map person, obviously

Because I can't figure out where Junior's pig farm is located on this. :dunce: Help?

[achtung_circus]

9. Here.

is the property. My north is at the top, the drawin's north is on the right. At Google Maps <http://maps.google.com/maps?q=crawford+texas&ll=31.561478,-97.568207&spn=0.008181,0.014881&t=h&hl=en>
scroll right, the pig farm is located about 1 mile east, north side of road, with the big ponds.

[leftchick]

10. at ponderosa trail???

omg.... is chimpy** Little Joe??

:rofl:

[achtung_circus]

14. No, further.

Scan east to Mill Rd. That is also the drive to the pig farm.

[txindy]

15. Thanks!

:hi:

[Libby2]

11. I heard Dana Bash

say they went to check out the new location yesterday, and that they could actually see chimpy riding his bike.

[gardenista]

24. Well, if that's the case, Chimpy is probably throwing a shit fit

right about now!

[sattahipdeep]

13. Read the article. Fred does not own the land that Cindy will be on.

What is going on? They start with 212 additional acres and end up with only one acre?

That offer has changed and campers will be restricted to the one acre.

[pnorman]

41. Hold yer hosses, podner!

(No, I ain't an authentic Texan, but then neither is Dubya).

Here's from the Texas Iconoclast:

>
>
The property he is offering is co-owned by his brothers Karl and Mark and sister, Patricia. Brother Mark actually owns the one acre tract where the new camp site will be. This one acre is at the corner of Prairie Chapel Road and Camen Church Road. Directly across from the one acre, the Mattlages own a 212-acre tract, which they will make available for parking purposes.

The 212-acre tract is to be opened today at 10 a.m. by Mattlage. He is asking that Camp Casey supporters have a person at the gate of the property at all times due to the fact that there are cattle on the site. Gates will have to be kept shut.

16. they must have flipped the map cuz Prairie Chapel Rd exits Crawford

on the west and heads kind of northwest, turning and twisting...

[jim3775]

17. Satelite photos for reference

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. OK, were back down to 1 acer but it beats a ditch on the side of the road

This explains why they still have me waiting to bring the RV up, however. I guess things aren't quite settled yet.

[frictionlessO]

22. Oh right on, Lone Star! Thats you that is going to bring that in?

You are a sweet sweet person, thank you.:hug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Guilty

I'm hoping more people will now that they have a place to put them.

[frictionlessO]

25. I'll be coming in early Friday evening, I was bringing a tent but now

I think I need to call the Peace House and see if I should. I'm very confused about if I can even camp at the camp now. I really dont wnat to add to the constant calls... you have any ideas?

(Im flying from NY by the way so knowing whether I should bring my tent or not will help tremendously)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

26. I'll ask to make sure

But what I was told today was that camping will be allowed on the 1 acer. I'll PM you tomorrow when I know for sure, but to my knowledge that is still how it is.

[frictionlessO]

27. Thanks I am highly appreciative. Will you be there?

I'd love to meet you... One side benefit is getting to meet so many other DU'ers.

I am supposed to hug Cindy (if I get a chance, which I doubt since I plan on not bugging her at all) for Pam from icasualties.org, Pam is so full of hope now because of what Cindy has done, and that really really means something to a woman who has counted casualties for the rest of the world in nearly every free hour of time she has since the war started... I'd actually call it something of a miracle (researching the dead and wounded tends to make for a bit of pessimism)...

I can't even begin to say how many people I knwo that are a little jealous as well, so many people want to be there.

ok ok... I'll await your word.

Thanks again for what you are doing, its wonderful!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

28. I will be there on Friday!

I don't know yet if I can stay the weekend but I'm working on staying until sometime on Saturday.

When I work out the last of the details I'll PM you tomorrow so we can meet up. :)

[frictionlessO]

29. Whoops I went to correct a spelling mistake and went all long in the tooth

LOL....

I am just silly with excitement, I guess.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. You're not the only one excited

I've been dancing around like a kid. LOL!

I really don't think you'd be bugging Cindy to give her a hug. She's being put through the wringer by so many people lately and I feel having we supportive people around her is a good and healing thing.

I can't wait to meet you. :hi:

[frictionlessO]

45. so people know.... Pam is Pat...

Geeze!

I have a friend named Pam on my mind pretty bad tonight.

[hippywife]

32. An acre isn't very big at all

especially considering all the folks that seem to be planning on showing up this weekend. I'm a little worried, too, and wondering if we should even come now.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. An acre is about 75% of a football field

It's 43,560 sq feet. That's not too small if everything is organized correctly.

[hippywife]

39. That's about the size of my front yard

give or take. I guess it's going to be all relative to the number of people who come.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. True...

An RSVP request would have been handy. :P

I live on 5 acres, so I know 1 doesn't sound like too much. At the same time I've stayed in overflow camping areas before where we fit quite a few warm bodies into one acre. :shrug:

[hippywife]

43. Yeah, right!

on the RSVP and :P backatcha! ;)

We'll be there sometime Saturday morning.

[Jacobin]

37. One acre equals 206 feet by 206 feet

[tavalon]

46. People just need to get cozy

Please go. The more the better.

[Generic Other]

19. Thanks. I posted this thread here:

[Alizaryn]

30. I hope it lasts, I fear that the vet sharing his land is going to

get a bunch of nasty repercussions. I hope he is strong.

[pnorman]

35. Thanks for the map, and thanks to jim3775 for the satellite photo.

I'll set it up in my MS Streets & Trips. I already have Crawford set up in my weatherBug Pro (temp 84.8F, humidity 61%, wind 0, dew point 71F, and bar. 29.91"). I'll be monitoring this closely all month (or until Dubya throws in the towel).

[mourningdove92]

48. Holy Shit.

How awesome is that.

We are going again this weekend. This is sweet.
