Okay, since the last get-together was pretty much a success, even though on short notice, lets get some ideas of what we wanna do next....i mean, anything BUT Tin Alley Grill... wink although i like the place, i sort of get sick of it every once in a while...

I know there's a shamokin trip this sunday, and Paragon next weekend, but for those of us who can't make it (Nick, shut your mouth!! wink ) lets get something else rolling...

any ideas???

We're going expoloring a new area this weekend... not far from blackwood, but not illegal. They recently opened up like 20,000 more acres in blackwood and I heard they are patroling more than ever, so we need to find more trails.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know how it is.

A man after my own black heart! Where do you play? I've been trying to get NJAX people to play for months, and no go. We've got another guy, Rob, who plays as well.

I used to Paint Ball a lot back in my home country, but I've not been able to find anywhere to PB here.
But why would you guys want to PB when you have real guns and you could just go out and shoot each other for real?

Where do you guys meet when you go up to Shamokin? What type of wheeling do you do? I have a 02 SC and I'm not really into the rock crawling... yet. Everything else is fine with me. Maybe I'll take a ride up with a couple buddies.

Well, rock crawling is pretty much what Shamokin is. While yes, we CAN find mud, there's more rocks than anything else.

Well, I know there's a place on Long Island, but I've never been there. Skirmish USA which is probably the biggest field on the east coast is on the way to Shamokin, and there is a place on the road to Todd's (206 N) as well. If you ever want to get a game running, let me know.

Spring time? Wuss- there's something to be said for tracking somebody through 2 foot deep snow, the swift crack of a froxen paintball on your ass, and the frozen swampland that I've been known to slog through... Paintball can, and SHOULD be played all year round, in every condition- Rain (been there done that), snow (been there done that), forest fire (stopped a game of mine once)- C'mon!

The difference between them is this- 1) Paintball- you're running around keeping warm. And it's usually not over-night when the temp drops. 2) Camping- your heart rate slows down, so your body temp drops somewhat at night. Keep in mind that the temp outside goes down as well. So, I'd rather run around in the snow covered hills shooting at people than become a popsicle sleeping on a trail somewhere. [Finger]

I went to ABC's PB place once before. It was ok. They have two courses. One that is woods, not too large, and one that is obstacles. Let me know when you guys wanna go, I gotta rent all the stuff, but I will go! I hear Skirmish is the best in the area.

Skirmish IS the best on the east coast as far as I know... And just so you know, I've got enough equipment (marker included) to outfit another player.
