Well it was blazin hot and one long day. I rolled out of the tin tee pee at 5AM and began cooking at 6 bells

I will post, i will try to post some pics of the event. If you were there I want to thank Wilber and his family, My kids for helping me especially Allison, she is growing up to be such a nice young woman and a lady.The Prells and family and Liz and Dave Zahn. I could have not completed the work without their help. due to Del being absent from helping his family he left a big hole, for their help and a few of the mountain men were very nice to me and gave me some great knife tips. I think they saw I was putten forth a hurculean effort and were eager to answer my knife questions. I have a kinife I carry for cookin chores and I need a better way, they provided for me.

Post more later.
