Would love to visit again this year, but to much going on with Codys basketball this early, we might have a chance at going to state this year!

Hey Shaun, good to hear from you.  If you can't make the get-together but can get down to Dallas sometime let me know.  We can do a mini-knapp-in in the shop.  Tell Cody we're pulling for him and his team.

Everyone's invited!  Now I need to choose dates.  What I'm going to do is plan a Cross Plains date in Feb.  I need to get some fancy sensors off that lease for some mt. lion hunting I'm doing here by Dallas.  I'll also bring home a feeder and lots of other stuff.  O, and break some rock.  We'll try to set the Burlington (Temple) date in early April to let Scott join us from the frozen north.

I probably hog hunted not that far from you last night Knapper.  We were just a couple miles from the Red River on the Texas side NE of Paris.  4 of us got 3 hogs with ARs and night vision, 75-275lbs.

I'm doing my best to talk the wife into making this trip a reality. So far I think she's about 65% game. If we do go I'll probably just be able to hang out for a day, so what Im saying is dont make any special plans around me. I'll keep workin on her and wear her down hopefully!  ::)

Just an hour away George. Always glad to hear when those hogs are getting assulted. Wild hog on a spicket, over an open fire, now that's good!!

OK guys, I've done a little more checking on dates in Burlington.  I've tentatively set the date for March 8-10.  We wouldn't be able to get started until late afternoon on the 8th and would need to be cleaned up around noon on Sunday.  I'm still waiting on the final commitment from the VFD, but thought I'd see if there were conflicts here while I could still make a date change with them if I had to.  I didn't see any other knapp-in conflicts in the little bit of googling I did, but could have missed something.  I'll check with the farmer there as to whether there would be a place we could look for flint on his land.  I will also bring my night vision hog gun if anybody wants to try that.  We might be able to rustle up some pork for Saturday's meal.  Of course, Gus brought enough food last year to feed twice as many people as we had.  Dang, that was good eats.

EDIT, sorry Knapper, I missed your post.  I haven't met a pig yet I haven't liked over a fire.  Come on down and join the fun.

Hope to see y'all soon.
George

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Well shucks, there's nothing magic about that date.  The dates that are out from the VFD perspective are Mar 23-24 and Apr 13-14.  I can try for  Mar 15-16, Mar 29-30 or Apr 6-7 if that works better for everybody.  Of course, I'd have to check with my social chairperson as well.  Of course, the odds for hitting everybody's schedule are close to 0. ;)
