Air Raid

[WRUE951]

So we go out shooting today in are fine hot desert..  Packing up and starting to leave a caravan of jeeps with all types of advertising on them parade by us.  Something big even going on with outlanders in our desert this weekend.   As we are watching, one guy in his jeep parks up on a hill within eye site from us..  All of a sudden we are hearing an Air Raid Siren,  Louder than hell..  Turns out the guy on the hill has some sort of a hand crank air siren mounted in the back of his jeep and he is up there cranking away...  Then the GMRS radios let loose..  Everyone was enjoying the nosie and their fun..   We left them behind in their dust..   It was actually kind of neat.  They all defiantly had GMRS Radios and they gathered on 10, 11 & 12

You left so much out of your story, I was on the edge of my seat hoping for more. Will you be posting the next chapter of this air raid saga?

Surely there's more to this story. Maybe they all gathered just to hear the siren, but it seems likely it was part of some larger event.

No sorry,,, didn't hang around after spending 3 hours in a hot 106 degree afternoon..  The jeeper parade was a bit kool but most were Fancy Mall Crawlers.  Lifted, looking pretty all set up for outlanding  The Air Raid Siren was pretty loud and impressive and unexpected considering a large military base is just a few miles away..  Dang, i havent heard an air raid siren in 40 years.  I was curious who the group was and what they were up too.. No one here has the dig..  O.K.

So, ya went out into the desert (Of all places) to shoot those nasty, foul smelling guns and without much of a backstop endangering the natural habitat and all its beauty. 

Then, them sneaky Jeepers must have followed you out there knowing you won't lead them astray to get lost, and never find their way back to civilization!  It's a well know fact, "All perityfied Jeeps" never dare to leave the pavement  in great fear of harming the environment and treating very lightly even on hard-packed, undisturbed gravel roads!

I bet the real story is that they stopped alongside the road cause when hearing you shooting that awful 9mm cannon you carry for protection scared em so bad they had to sound the alarm and get on the radios for backup help....... Hope ya picked up that nasty brass and lead bullets you endangered the environment with, my GOD Man!

I know/am familiar with a lot of the Jeep groups around here and sadly many of them are just very pretty mall-crawlers and grocery getters with fresh wax-jobs and tire-sidewalls still wet from all the ArmorAll, that only go "off road" on flat dirt roads one or two times a year. 

We dont associate with those kinds.

You should have used their rubber ducks for target practice.

Actually,,  shooting on a designated BLM shooting range against a very large backdrop..  I guarantee the jeepers air raid siren was much louder than our .308 shells exploding from our AR-10's...  I feel sorry for all those jeepers,  they had to go clean some dust off their pretty Mall Crawlers
