MORE ON MESQUITE BEANS:
Many people have been asking about bean picking and it sounds like there will be several "pickin parties" going on when the time comes. For now it’s time to start taste testing.
The taste test is really important because you can have one tree that is sweet and one tree right beside it that is bitter and disgusting. We don't want bitter, disgusting flour, we want SWEET! So, when the beans on the tree begin to turn RED (some trees on Terlingua Creek are at this stage now) taste the bean and if it's good, mark the tree so you can come back to it later. Might be a good idea to pick up some flagging tape at Bee Mountain Hardware.
Remember that this first year we will be driving the beans to Tucson for milling into flour for a travelling hammermill so that we can mill our own beans in the future.

THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED SATURDAY FOR RANGE CLEAN UP DAY
There were 17 who raked brass & shot gun shells, built target frames and pulled a few weeds. Joel and Sylvia have put the finishing touches on Pistol Range #2 with the completion of the seats and tables. It is awesome. Thanks so much members. The range is now ready for the Women on Target Shooting Clinic on Saturday, May 26, 2018.
Since we are now "clean", please as you use the range, make an effort to pick up your brass and shotgun shells and clays. There will be barrels to put the brass in set up within the next week or so. The brass will be given to the boy scouts as a fund raiser. We will have a WOT volunteers orientation meeting at 6:00 pm Thursday 5/24/2018 on the Rifle Range. If you are wanting to help and cannot make that meeting, please just give Donnie Newberry 294-0272 or Linda Murray 915-204-1472 a call.
Again a special thanks to: Sylvia Nelson, Monica McBride, Joel Nelson, Don Cadden, Monty Kimball, Jim Wilson, Dennis Yancy, Nick Harrison, Jim Westerman, Thomas Adair, Denis Foley, Kurt Stropoli, James Blair, Isabelle Blair, Linda Murray, Sky Lambert (made it toward the end-he had yard sale going on).
