The Company A / 75th Rangers invited me out to the backwoods of Tennesse and Kentucky for a week.
We camped out at "The Hilltop", a few miles from Mark Carlisle's place, and spent a week without Electricity, Cell Phones, Internet, Email, Running water, Showers, Baths, and bathrooms! The nearest town to go shopping at was about 25 miles north in Tompkinsville, Kentucky.
Temperatures ran a little below freezing at night, and maybe up to the high 60's during the day. This California boy had to relearn how to dress in layers. Fortunately, it didn't rain, but we did get some wind.
No girls were allowed, and so I was very careful to keep myself a safe distance from any banjo players in the area! And well armed just in case! (for the uninitiated, this is a reference to the 70's movie "Deliverance" starring Burt Reynolds).
We demolished a few cases of ammo, cooked our meals on propane stoves, 4-wheeled all over the countryside, got a tour of Mark's lumber mill, learned whats bears do in the woods. The boys needled each other mercilessly, argued politics, religion, and told war stories from long ago. Some hadn't seen each other for over 30 years, and had only recently found each other via the internet.
Fisher defended the stove all week, and did a lot of the cooking. Cantrell told war stories that all had a common theme - his mouth getting him in trouble! Gosh - who'da ever thought that Rangers could be so opinionated?
It was Deer Season, and hunters were everywhere. Some foolishly set up some deer hides DOWNRANGE on our range about 4:30 am one morning. When the sun came up, we kinda wondered what were they thinking? I guess they couldn't see all our targets behind them in the dark. They didn't see any deer that day, and moved about 200 yards (meters) behind us after that.
One thing about Rangers, everybody there had at least two of everything. The boys still know how to plan for contingencies!
The A/75th boys are a trip. No wonder they need their own listserver, and forest retreat. They're Nukkin Futs!
Thanks to Mark for the hospitality, firewood, and good weather.
