I figure the roll call thread will be the wrong place for the pictures and debauchery that is soon to befall E. Tennessee.


So far on site we have Ethan (obviously), 1066vik, DerekH, ThePointyEnd and myself. Others will be arriving bright and early.
 
A quick update.......

It has been an epically good weekend...So far........Glorious weather , extremely fine fellowship....Great breakfasts ......Extremely fine fellowship..... The new guys have been grand additions and new friendships have been forged.......
A delegation from the copperhead community let it be known that they did not miss Psyops but, the rest of us were unhappy...... Colonel you too are missed......The scorpions are a bit bolder without Bladite here and he too has been missed...... Interesting knives have been evaluated and fondled and tested........BTW all the troubles of the world were, I believe, solved about the time I left a grand fire and a starry sky last evening....... Damn, it has been a good one......

More later I gotta get up the hill for breakfast......

Sloan's wasn't hurting for ammo or for udder balm.

i am also in slight doodoo for remembering to BRING my camera and forgetting to get it out of my bag and take ANY pictures :p
 
Thought folks might like to see some pics from the 2013 Fall Gathering.

We got there late Friday afternoon and Oz was a huge hit with Moose's two young gals!

Biscuit decided to share his nuts with everyone at the Gathering. They were a huge hit - as you can tell from the reaction of the folks in these pics. Pics of the packaging coming later.

So glad you snapped a pic of this. I didn't manage to get a single pic of the pipe tobacco shenanigans - too distracted I think.
