TRACKROCK Spring 2018

Just to chime in on what CREX says, it's about as family friendly as you can get. There's kids, there's youngsters, there's geezers, and on and on. If anyone is on the fence, then you need to come. You will absolutely learn more in a weekend than a years worth of you tube videos. You can ask questions, you can hammer steel, you can just sit there and sit, but I guarantee that you will have a great time. I mean how often can you ask a Master Smith how to make a tang or how he gets his wood to show such character (something about a chemical-- cupric blah blah blah), or ask Andy to show you how to grind a blade so it looks smooth and not like a Busse that you made on a CNC mill. You can watch Phillip execute a Fiddleback Friday and have Rick Lowe show you how to make a sheath. Ask Allen about spending time at the Loveless shop, see Forges made by guys that take it way too seriously and compare it to the one next to it made out of an old ammo can and some left over pipe fittings. Then when all that ends, you can walk up to the fire pit, probably bum dinner and dessert, and talk about whatever or whoever -- or not, you see, that's the beauty of the event, you can make it whatever you want.

Great pics my friend.....I know most of these desperadoes (heck, I know all of them). Just goes to show that we don't run it like a "Reality Show", you don't have to be attractive and/or half naked to participate.

If there is anyone who has planned on coming or is still on the fence and either needs a campsite with power and water or would like to swap for the site they are already on I have reserved site #1, which is the closest to the barn. It's a spare I won't be using and is marked in green on the map.

Just bumping it current getting really close.

Also a note: Phone service is just one notch above non-existence at TR. Anyone trying to contact me after Wednesday the 21st will likely not be able to reach me. My texting function on my cell has crapped out, so even that won't work. You got ?'s better get them out now.

Well, that explains why my texts aren't going through...
 
Really thinking I'm going to have to give up on rotary dial cell phones, but this one has held up to some serious abuse over the last 12 years. How can one argue with that? (Maxwell's got nothing on me, but he sure had a nice looking sidekick!)

Carl, do you still keep those two old Campbell's soup cans attached by a string in the back of your truck?
 
Naw, string rotted. Never got around to restringing. Wifey just uses rock salt in the ol' Iver Johnson double now (stings a bit, but no more than welding flux).
 
My phone works if I'm standing next to that tree over to the right of the barn. I've got about a three-foot square that I can make a phone call in.

Buddy I know how particular you are about running that barbecue grill. It was my introduction to you years ago. So my advice is don't let Bob anywhere near it. He has no clue how to get the charcoal going. You should have seen how much I had to help him last time! He and Robert from @fiddlebackoutpost couldn't get out of their own way. It was great that I showed up and saved the day.

My memory is fuzzy these days...but I don't recall this going down like that.

Yeah I remember a lot of charcoal lighter, rocks that were allegedly charcoal and everything else in the area almost catching fire. And some cobbler I would leave my family for.....but that's another story.
