mleeber Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Definitely do not go all the way down to Atlanta, there are several places to cut across, Brian mentioned the best. Atlanta, being the most traffic dysfunctional city in the south, has no quick and easy way to get from 75 or 85 to 400. As for food, our famous Weenie Woman will be selling her goodies on Saturday and Sunday but she cannot make it on Friday so I will have someone selling dogs Friday but they will be woefully short of the real thing from the Weenie Woman. She sells Huge dogs for $3 (includes your choice of Chili, cheese, onions and all sorts of other stuff), drinks for a buck and chips for a buck. She also said she was going to work on some BBQ maybe.... Whatever she brings it will be good!!! For ROs working this weekend please be at the range by 7AM. For squadding questions or issues you will have to see me in person as I am buried by all the last minute stuff but I tried to accommodate all requests. Sat AM/Sun AM is wide open, All day Sat and Sat PM/Sun AM are packed but I am confident that it will move along well. Looking forward to a beautiful weekend and I am hoping that the weather man is as whacked as the pollsters who think Obama is going to win!

Charles Bond Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 For you Florida people, I drove from Warner Robins to the I-285/I-75 intersection north of Atlanta on Monday. I encountered no traffic problems related to construction but the number of fools who have no business on an interstate highway increases with each mile you roll closer to Atlanta. There will be work going on the bypass around Macon but according to the news on TV tonight, that is going to take place only late at night. Also, it is going to be a bit cooler than expected this weekend. Might want to bring long pants and a sweat shirt in addition to the jacket.

BlakeM Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you are coming in from the north on I85 South the best route will be: I85 South to Hwy 20 West to Buford, GA Take 20 West to Cumming, GA Hop on GA400 North towards Dahlonega, GA Take GA400N to Hwy 369 West Take Hwy 369 West to Yellow Creek Road Turn right on Yellow Creek Road Drive until you see the RBGC sign on the right. or If you are coming in on I985 South: Take Hwy 369 (through Gainesville) West all the way to GA 400. Cross GA 400 Continue on Hwy 369 West to Yellow Creek Road Turn right on Yellow Creek Road Drive until you see the RBGC sign on the right. Safe trips for everyone and good luck!

BlakeM Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Having never been to this range what restaurants are close to the range and/or the match hotel?Peter Adams FY-39604 The hotels have the usual options within driving distance. The range is located in the middle of the Georgia foothills and their are no restaurants within a reasonable distance, but as Mark has said, the 'weenie woman' will be there to serve up a little food!

cpty1 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 No, you're fine. The range is only about 30 minutes from my house so I'm not in the match hotel or any other nearby. No extra weaponry should be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are coming south on 85 do NOT take Hwy 20. There are about 20 stop lights in the first 2 miles. I would give BrianATl's advice a try (that's how I'm going home tomorrow night.) Cut across west on Hwy 129 or Hwy 53 to get to range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I played RO today. It rained pretty steadily all day although not a torrential down pour. I can only remember one short stage where it wasn't raining. Despite all that and a balmy 52 degrees the conditions were far better than at the Nationals. There were only one or two small puddles, no oozing clay and no pungent aroma of bovine waste products. The footing was uniformly very good. We didn't have one shooter slip all day. Those of us who shot Nationals commented multiple times on the difference in the condition of the stages compared to Tulsa under very similar rain falls. We had more than a few Mikes and several failures to engage today. I'm looking forward to a great match tomorrow and better weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeM Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Thanks to everyone for a great time today! This was my first major match and I had such a great time and, as always, learned a lot of information. I hope to see and shoot with everyone again soon!
