Even the kids love the knapping pit. Safety glasses available and a requirement for them in the pit.

I'm hoping to make Flint Ridge, perhaps this year...but, that knapping pit is pretty much ground zero in my book.

WOW Pat I just saw this, don't get on the napping site often, man what memories, thank you so much for posting these pictures, very special guys in them pictures and some of the best nappers I know of.  ;) They love what the do also, I get up at 4am to start getting breakfast ready and they are still at it, don't know when they sleep, I guess when they get home.  :-\
