Have we talked about times and dates yet? I would love for it to be in Temple.We haven't yet, but I am thinking that Temple (actually Burlington) is the right place for the knapp-in. The reason I haven't chosen a date is that my hog hunting friends are also looking at dates for the next big hunt there and I've been distracted with that. I expect the hunt to be in the next 6 weeks. I'm leaning towards going a little later with the knapp-in to try and hit nicer weather. I'm open to suggestions though.

Would love to visit again this year, but to much going on with Codys basketball this early, we might have a chance at going to state this year!

The real question will be whether to serve it Grilled it or Chicken Fried with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy...
It is Outstanding either way. :)
The Boss says I can make the 15-17...
Will we need to wear Green?
:)
Here's the big fish of the trip George, 160#.

Don, I just wish you'd have had a little more time. We'll do it again for sure and everybody is always welcome. The Klein's enjoyed having everybody there.
Tim, if I'd have known...I was back down there this past Saturday again and broke up a bunch of rock. Only finished 2 points, both from heat treated stone I picked up in the yard there in front of the fire station. Here's the better one.

Sadly, somebody came by and stepped on the point when I had it beside me on the ground and broke off an ear. :'( I remade the base into a pedernales and gave it to Miss Ellen. The other point wasn't as good, a simple stemmed point, that I didn't get a picture of. Then I had a nice big point going from a thin perd spall until I broke the tip off it...twice. And finally, I broke a beautiful piece of Burlington up, but not before I ran a shard of it into my pointer finger about a quarter inch deep. Could not stop the bleeding for a long time. I quit after that. So, it was a tough day of knapping. It would have been better with some company. The hog hunting was terrible too. The cold north wind really messed us up. Still, better than working... :)
