According to Chips the Ochlockonee River Stone Age & Primitive Arts Festival and the Dade Knappin will be held the same week and weekend Feb 6-8. That weekend is prior to the Dade dates. Watcher

Roger, Claude will know. I've tried to contact the people in charge , and they are pi$$ poor about getting back in touch. I was going to set up and camp last year but never heard back from them. They want Claude there so they stay in touch with him.

Yep, that's where most everybody will be. That's where the knap-in at Paynes Prairie kinda moved to when the Ranger transfered. The No-Seeums will carry you off there, so go prepared.
-
Mullet ..... HOW do you perpair for them (flying all jaws) or no seeums...
Thanks Curt
-

-

Piper;
Get yourself a " Thermal Cell " Best thing ever invented for skeeters, and sand gnats, ( no see ums ). Get them at Wally world, or Walgreen's. Get the extra fuel, and tabs too. They are great for hunting, camping etc. The units cost about $ 20.00, and the replacement fuel and tabs, cost about $ 6 - 7.00 . Well worth it. I have one in my truck all the time. Never know when you will need it. I have the extra fuel and tabs also. They also make little votive candle like sets also for the patio, and such.

I've been thinking about trying to make that one this year-it would be a good break from the snow and cold. Curt, you interested in carpooling? You can drive, and I'll drink a lot to prepare for the skeeters. ;D
-
doesnt the cold weather get em?
-
Nope! >:(
-
HB If my wife backs out on going u can have her seat.I will be going down on Wed. or Thur. and coming back on Sun.I may take the pop up camper also or just a tent.Hops to look for some Coral to bring back also.
Curt
-
which one are ya'll talking about going to? If it's the Dade City knap-in, I live about 30 minutes away. Free lodging ;D
-
Knap, the cold weather, just fires up their appetite. They want to keep warm, so they go for the warm blood !

That would be the one there Mullet..Thanks for the offer..I hope to meet most of you guys down there..I lived in Haines City in 03 and 04..Was working at the Osprey energy center in Lake Land..I would go down to Plaint City to the Bike show once a month..If I ever left Western N.C. thats where I would move..
-
Well if it's Dade City there is no problem with the bugs. It's the one in North Fl where they will eat you.
-
Is the Dade City knapp in a good one to go to?This will be my first one in Fla...no bugs would be a big plus...
Curt
-
Yup.......I went a coupla times, once with Eddie a few years ago. Thought it was very nice........bob
-
The one in North florida was really big last year and I think it was the first time. It replaced the Paynes Prairie Primitive event and that was big. The one in Dade City is getting bigger every year. I met Bonepile there last year, and Twistedlimb was there and Claude of course. My buddy Rick Swarze will be there along with Jeff selling some A+ coral and Rick just got back from Texas and New Mexico getting rock. I'll probally camp this year and play with making bows , and boo arrow shafts. I need to have a clearance sale in the shop.

Maybe not, but you probably won't get as big a crowd on Valentine's Day weekend- the divorce attorneys would like it, though. I can just see it: "Oh, come on honey, it's hard to find a more romantic weekend getaway than a knap-in, you'll love it"........;D
-
HB let me know if u r going. i could use a road tripnsome fun
-
The downside is that's the same weekend as the Alifia River Rendevous.
-
Rats! I want to go to the knap in, and the Rendezvous. I guess I will have to go one day at each. >:(
Wayne :(
-
That's what I plan on doing ,now. You can usually get some good Osage at the Rendevous. Or pose for picture with Vinson dressed up like an Indian, for a small fee :D
-
I was there one Sunday afternoon, and there was some guy dressed up like a mohawk, running around and yelling like a ......well like a "wild Indian". Maybe too much fire water. Or mexican parsley in the Kinne kinick, or however you spell it. Was that him by any chance? I don't think I want my picture with that. Might end up on the internet, with pictures from Fantasy Fest. ;D :D

"Wild Indian ?" Ya wanna think about that fer a second and explain it ta me ?...bob
-
"Just a phrase to describe the scene" No offense meant......I have a little Cherokee blood running my veins myself. ;D
Wayne
-
If he had his head shaved except for a top knot and a bone pin in his nose, that was Vinson.
-
Yes sir, that would be him. Then I have seen him. Not something you would want to come up on in the woods!!...... ;D
Wayne
-
