Otoe Bow:
Great stuff guys.  I've never thought of combining my love of my horses with archery.  That might be the next step.  ::)

This all goes to show that life is Good.

I just made it back from Glass Butte.  David, you weren't joking about the weather - it was COLD.  People were telling me it was 8 - 10 degrees in Bend, and that is a lot lower elevation.  I was sleeping fully clothed and double bagging the sleeping bags!  The five gallon water jug I brought with me never thawed the whole time I was there, but I had small water bottles I could keep in the sleeping bag with me to keep from freezing.

This was my first Knap-in.  I had a great first exposure to knapping, and gathered some obsidian - but I had to use a bar to get it off of the frozen ground...

Dave, did you meet/know Mic and Holly?  They live in Lacey, which is just a few miles from me.  Mic volunteered to give me some arrowhead knapping lessons!  Attached is a photo of part of Mic's stash he was creating while sitting close to the fire.

Hey Keith! Yep! I know both Mic and Holly. I saw them come in and join us the day I had to leave on Sunday evening. Mic is a kick and Holly is a lot of fun. I'm planning on getting together with them this summer and hiking with Mic. Unfortunatly Holly busted her ankle last year and is not up to hiking.

You coming up to Whidbey Island this August for the Knapadonia knapp Inn at Joe Higins place?

Mic can really turn out the bifaces! Starting to figure out how he does it but it drives me nuts at how easily he punches them out,

The temp at the Buttes can be brutal. Amaized you got through it for a whole week! Next year I'm going to figure a way to hook up an electric blanket to a car battery!
