Scott and I are going to this event this weekend so thought I thought a post of the trip would be in order. My knapping kit is packed and a bucket of white Burlington all heat treated sits like a gift under a christmas tree waiting to be unwrapped. I hope to meet  someone that has some time working with the sollberger jig. I was wondering if any of the PA knappers are going. Anyway 24 hours from now we will be headed south again for more fun.

Thanks Will, Could you do me a favor and have any knapper that uses it sign it for me. I think it would be fun to have a bunch of knapper names on it. I will the varnish it to protect the names. Thanks

Well did not make it very far yet. Waiting to talk to cops. Man approached me at drive up window while i was getting money. His face bloodly and giving me a story. I said back off and drove around the and called the cops. 911 now wants me to sit tight to give a stuatement. I dont know what more to say. Okay the word from the cops are they came back told me they interviewed a guy the blood was on the face was fake  he is going to jail. Sure pays to be an ex cop.

Okay here's how it went down. I pull into the atm at 338 now I noticed a vehicle 100 yards in front of me with the lights on facing away from me. Having been in the military I'm always thinking 360. So as I pull my atm card out and rolled my window down there vehicle turn and facss my vehicle.  I knew something was going down I got my money and got ready to take off. Before I knew it I had a man with a bloody face at my passenger window. He told me he had been beat up I told him I didn't care get away form my vehicle. I alreay had my vehicle in gear .and took off around the corner and called 911. I circled the block turn my lights off drove up I got my eye on him I waited for the cops to show up. I could see them interviewing him and they arrested him. Then the cops came and told me what was going on and informed me that he had fake blood on his face.
