Title: Flint Ridge 2014
Post by: Zuma on September 02, 2014, 10:30:12 pm
I will post some photos of the Flint Ridge Knappin.
My hope is that if you see someone you recognize,
please post their name and what you can contribute.
Also photos if you have em.
Unfortunately I didn't start taking photos until it looked
like the jig was up.  (RAIN, rain, rain etc.) lol

Bob, it was good to meet you,TWICE lol.
Yes the knapping Jake does is awesome. I wished I had photos of it.
I was manning my table until the monsoon started.
That's when I realized folks like you and Bone Pile were taking off
so I grabbed the camera for some soggy memories.

This beautiful tee pee had smoke comming from it.
I wanted to go warm up in it. lol

Hey Zuma we didn't leave until 2 o'clock, we holed up in the yurt or igloo looking tent at the end of the field. Had a huge breakfast inside the 20' igloo and shot the breeze until rain ended. Bob

Jojo,
Most of thre rock had already left.
Craig had at least 10 -fifty gallon barrels of obsidian
in his trailer, not to mention hundreds of pounds of slabs.
There were at least three other big dealers there that I missed
photographing.
It was the RAIN lol
