Cool! Really nice point, man you're getting good. That looks like some really good grade Tallahatta, too-doesn't have all those sand pockets. That stuff makes great hunting points.

I'd love to go to some knap-ins (only been to one :(), but my work schedule and family time just doesn't allow me to get away for long.  Plus, it seems that most of them fall in the spring and when spring time rolls around...I'm turkey hunting!

I think you may be stretching things a bit there Paul ::)  But...Aim high, if you fall a little short, you'll still be way up there. ;D

 Wow! That's good, Shannon. Man, I ended up rolling through Mobile, Al. Saturday morning at 6AM. I wish I had taken Jeff's phone# with me and I would have taken a side trip. I couldn't believe I drove from Central Florida to Mobile in 5 hours. ::)
