New around here. Made this 'un today-my 40th point since I started on 6-30-08. It was a dollar chunk of Flint Ridge I got at Gastonia. Thanks Eric! Now, go easy on me....PD

That is sweet.  I can't wait to see what my 40th looks like.  Oh, by the way, is that 40th completed or 40th attempted?  I passed that "attempted" stat along time ago.  Completed, another story.   ;D

I could probably blame it on not having a really cool, professional looking pad like yours, but I won't.   ::)

Welcome aboard, Pete. That's a nice point, looks great. I may have ran into you at the Schiele knapin, I met so many people there that I can't keep names straight. Had a great time down there, it's one of the better knap-ins.

Thanks, fellers. Yep, the Gastonia knap-in was/is cool. Looking forward to Flint Ridge, backing up the truck, to fill it up with flint. Here's the previous two points: my first attempt to get a match. When I hunt this fall, it will probably be with an Ishi style point-if my skill level comes up sufficiently to make a few by then. Come on, October! PD
