Title: Road trip = stave swap!
Post by: Wylden Freeborne on September 14, 2013, 07:37:06 pm
Hey all.

My family is going to be making a road trip in the month of November from Oregon to Missouri to visit family folk and pitch our tipi in a new place for a bit. We are traveling in our large bus and plan to have a decent amount of Yew staves in tow. My idea is to meet bowyers in each state along the way and gift a stave, make a new bow maybe, go stumping, share a fire and conversation. We will be heading out of Portland Oregon east going through Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri on the first trip, with possible detours into the Dakotas or Montana depending upon weather.

If you are in these areas and want to get together to shoot some stumps, cook over some fire and maybe make a new bow, let me know!

If you decide to make that trip up to the Dakota's, I'm in central Nebraska and you're more than welcome to stop and set up for awhile. I'm not as primitive as you are living in my metal building you might feel right at home.>>>Fred
