of?

Heh.
Anything that may have been at the gathering.
As long as it is dressed, if 'it' is a human.

Looks like a blast. I was all ready to go and then I had a minor medical issue that needed addressing. Nothing major and I am all good now. Next time I am gonna make it for sure! Keep the pics coming.

 

[daizee]

Yay, pitchers!!

Let there be PICTURES!

OK, maybe someone else's - I was too busy having fun and cooking to take many myself....but I got a few.

Chillin' and grillin' Friday night. You can see a couple secret agents in the back using some of the latest to come out of DARPA: high tech face camouflage to conceal your identity. You'd never even know that was Copperhead88 and The(younger)MadIndian. TMI killed it with the burgers.

There were a few knives. Foreground is some of daizee's work; past that would be Jim Bensinger's.

yeah......a few.

Under those baby carrots is half of a 12 lb., garlic rubbed, bacon wrapped, smoky sweet, maple syrup drizzled pork loin.....and onions, potatoes & sweet potatoes - and the other half has its own similarly prepared pan.

twins in the oven:

tucking in:

There was some archery. New archers:

....and some others.

Only a couple scavenger hunts....and none were lost.

Thank goodness for the leach field, in all it's flatness.

There are another 5 hammock setups behind the one you can see behind the Silverthorn's abode:

The porch is flat, too....

There is literally NOTHING better than leftover cake for breakfast.

And then we all had to leave. Which some of us dragged out for a bit.
Seriously - if you have the opportunity to go to a Gathering, DO EET. I've no doubt you will not find a more decent brand of human bean than you will at a Beckerhead Gathering.

"none was lost"

your axe needs a tuneup

your signature needs to be cleaned

 

[trailbum]

Great pics everyone.
What a great weekend.

 

[dresnor]

Amanda, Becker, and I had a blast again this gathering. It is great to see old friends and eat great food. Can't wait for the next one!

Fairy shelter building.

This is where the fairy massacre of 2016 happened. The Orcs attacked with arrows and trashed the house. You can still see the fairy blood on the ground.

We then lit them on fire.

Structural integrity was tested.

Rare find from the prize box. A Ka-Bar BK-2 with a solid tang and no pommel?
