Points for kids
« on: July 01, 2008, 08:27:05 am »
Here's a couple of pics from my recent camping trip. I was doing some knapping one day and they wandered in to see what I was doing.
I invited them to sit and watch me and we had a nice visit. Turns out their staying with their grandparents as their little sister is fighting for her life and the parents are living at the hospital. Anyway before the weekend was over I gave them each a arrow and we hafted the points to them. No pictures of the arrows as the camera died. Maybe I lit a fire inside them :)

Dang, you are all wearing sweatshirts.   ??? I was knapping yesterday and thought I was sweating because I was trying to knap some of Cowboys stone raw. Then I looked at the thermometer and it said 113*. I decided to go in the house and enjoy the AC. 

Nice work on the kids there my friend.  Keep them interested.  Justin

50 Degrees?!?!   ;D 

I can't really complain.  Like I said in an earlier post, we're having absolutely incredible weather for July.  Yesterday was only about 90 degrees with a slight breeze and low humidity.  I can deal with that any day. 

Keep busting that rock Dana.  Stay Warm.   :D

Good Luck with the concrete and the heat Justin.   ;D  I'm going to smoke some ribs for the Forth of July and while I have the smoker going, I'm going to heat treat some of Cowboys rocks.
