Title: Encampment
Post by: heatherhistorian on April 02, 2009
Hello all.  I wanted to let you know that Old Salt and I have not forgotten you.  We have been planning our encampment and this week we have been setting up for it.  The event starts tomorrow, so we will be more active after Sunday. :)  Those of you who need a history fix will have some fresh postings starting then.

Thank You!

Surely u must be jesting!  It was wicked and freezing.  Someone burned their tent down today.  Today was set up day and he had been there since Tues...just woke up and went in the museum for a second...literally less than ten minutes. When he came back outside the wind had gust...knocked d over his stove a bit and he lost his whole rig.  Goes to show you can't be too careful.

Hey Crowkiller.  I am not puttin you off about the pipes. I am awaiting my assistant.  She is the one who took the pictures as the museum's is not working right now.  So, when she gets me the additional photos I will post them. 

Also, this was my first go with pipes and the ones that are left are not my best.  I gave two away to some friends.  I will be making more here in a week or so, so I can show you those as well. 

Sorry it is taking so long!
