Posting this here because I don't think I'll have enough of an AAR to place in the Training & Tactics subforum + I have several pics of non-training stuff, too.
What did I do last weekend? I did this: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/tactics-training/345023-paul-e-palooza-2-a.html - along with several other INGOers.
Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Newton Falls, OH. Or Meth Falls, as I affectionately named it after driving through town a few times.
Few shots of the "falls" area in town:
Kind of a neat little spot. Large elevation change but not much water flowing.
Next day at the range property (A multi-use facility that still incorporates an active gravel/sand pit operation, property available for ATV'ing, and lots of property for rock-crawling/off roading. Place is between Garrettsville and Newton Falls. There is a small campground on-site - with electric hook up at some of the sites. There's also a bathroom/shower house near the campground. A large open-sided pavilion held lecture sessions. Another building towards the entrance housed a mini-commercial kitchen where lunches were prepared for us (for purchase), snacks /drinks available. It appeared that there were offices of some type on the second floor of this building. A large covered porch served as the other lecture venue.
The owner of the facility, a man named Dayle, drove this to "work" on Saturday.
That's right. A mule. With an honest-to-God M2 mounted. I think the Crown Royal bag was a nice touch.
I overheard Dayle tell someone he'd ordered a pallet of this stuff...
Guess what Dayle drove to "work" on Sunday?
Yep. An armored personnel carrier. I don't any idea of the make, model, nor vintage. But there is an M-60 mounted on top. No idea if this one's the real deal or not.
Cramped quarters indeed. I'm not too sure how Dayle managed to huck himself in and out of here. He's not a young man and he has obvious trouble standing and walking (just from observing him)
