They eat good also, and they have nice feathers.

Glad you at least got one, and not just skeeter bites, and wet feet.

How is the back?

It's all starting to come together,Got a lot done this weekend,Got 25 scrapers ready and Greg and I got all the stave's laid out and cut out,need to get them on the form and plan on doing that is the next few weeks. We also got all the logs cut for the benches in the napping pit and Jon and Art got the arrows started for the trophies. Still lots to do but if we have a couple more productive weekend like this one we will be ready,also got the stumps Chris[Penhawk] wanted for his forging,hope they will work. Kevin and I also got the Kobota serviced and cleaned up,so it's ready for the event,That thing is handy and now that Woody has one also we are good to go.

Looks like one of the most productive weekends! Am anxious to see the new knapping pit! From the sounds of things this coming Classic may just set a record for PA folks attending. Am building a 16 foot long trailer for hauling my wife's side by side and my ATV. Still some deep snow in the mountains so needed a project. Sure do appreciate all that you do to make everyone welcome at Twin Oaks. A/Ho Joe
