Paul gave me some lessons too.  He taught me everything I know about that Ishi stick technique.  Can't wait to get together with you guys some day soon!

George looks like you and Paul had a great time. Magnificent points you two made there.

I guess we may have to start having a regular old knappin around here. Always more fun to be around like minded folks making pernts. Maybe the 2nd annual Cross Plains get together - BYOR's (bring your own rocks :)).

I'll set something up later in April Paul.  Unfortunately, somebody came on the lease in the last week and trashed the little cabin, trailer and RV.  They didn't seem to steal anything, but went through and pulled everything off shelves and threw some stuff outside on the ground.  We don't lock the doors on our stuff so nothing got broken.  The RV was locked and they broke into it and caused some damage.  Fortunately the landowner discovered it this weekend and got everything back inside before this latest rain.  Not sure why somebody would want to just trash stuff.  Makes no sense to me.  It sounded like the sheriff already had a suspect so maybe we'll find out.

Anyway, it won't change anything about a get-together.  Check your schedules and see what weekends after Easter are good in April.

George that's just tacky. That's a lot of effort to drive out there, park, walk and trash the place up. And who would know it was there anyway? Folks like that need some "brotherly love!"  >:D

If you come all the way up to Cross Plains we will for sure send you home with some rock to play with.   I don't think tower is very far from you, be great if you both made it up.  I wish I had a spot a little more centrally located, but this is what I got so far.  Hope you can make it.  :)
