: Clabair,
: This is interesting! Where do all of you guys stay when you meet in October? Did you know Rich (Who owns this sight) has a book about the sights where LOTM was filmed? What sights do you revisit? Sounds like an interesting time...
: Jo
Did you read Mark Bakers interview? We are all like family. Some will stay at Tom Phillips home and some of us stay with others. Two friends and I will be leaving Houston TX on Wed. night and drive straight thru....I do not know Rich but I feel I will be getting to know him.......We don`t go just for the sites. We go to live that time period again for 3 days. In that time we will walk between 15 and 20 miles thru Linville Gorge as if it were 1763. We will be dressed like the colonial frontiersmen in LOTM. Every thing we have with us is documented from cloths and weapons down to the food we bring. Most of us will sleep in one hand woven wool blanket where ever we find a spot on the ground, rain or shine. To get a better idea of why we do this check out our club web site. Read our by-laws and visit the photo gallary. I took the pictures of the `96 trip in the Gorge. I will send it to you and anyone who wants to see it.
I hope I didn`t go on to long. There is so much more I want to tell you but I worked all night and just got home. I need some sleep.
