We are a little scarse in that area.
Move on South a little & there are several in the Deep East Texas Piney Woods.

Tried to go fishin' in June of 1980 on a private lake near Sulphur Springs. Does that count?
No CHL back then and only had .22 revolver in tackle box. To keep thread gun-related

, the .22 was outclassed by mosquitoes big enough to stand flat-footed and face off with turkeys. Being low on ammo and blood, we packed up early and rolled west quickly. When I've gone back through East Texas ever since, it's been with windows rolled up and 70 mph. Ya understand now why ya don't see many people postin' from there?

Not E-Tex, but NE-Tex. I'm just about as NE as you can get, just outside Texarkana. I always enjoy hooking up with fellow forum members. I recently had a great time at my local range with Longtooth and Tote 9. I've met another forum member for coffee when he was in town on business.
Anyone passing through Texarkana is always welcome to give me a shout, whether it's for lunch or range time.

east tex. count me in.

I quit my rambling on I have saw many changes lots of folks were always suprised the most that the class A railroad had their on communication networks , you name it and as things became anaquated they were removed and more modern equiptment was installed yes I was one of those who got nominated maybe I should have said that was my job haha.

Four blocks from the Arkansas border, can't get much farther east than this.
Love to shoot and enjoy meeting other shooters.
Shout if you are unlucky enough to be here.

I live a little more than 1/4 mile from LT's front door step in Lufkin.
That was a weird first conversation with LT. I thought he was messing with me.
Originally, I am from a community called Bettie, which is between Gilmer and Pittsburg. Never like telling people I was from Gilmer as I married a Gladewater Girl. Big rivalry there...
