Tired & sore, you ask, Beth? I'm too tired and sore to tell! It was quite a 4-day workout, and I THINK most everybody had a reasonably good time ... but, I'll let them speak for themselves.
Weatherwise, what looked like dire circumstances beforehand, turned into a sunfest; we might have had a minor glitch or two, but the entire itinerary went off like clockwork; it was a Fourth success, by my standards ...
Wes & family are a delight, the winning prints were awarded ... one to a Gatherer in attendance, the other to someone who was not there ... we'll announce the names soon ...
Meanwhile, Gatherers will begin drifting in over the next several days, and, I hope, will post their impressions for you all. We will begin putting the story & pictures together, on the Gathering pages, to get a handle on OUR feelings.
It was a wonderful blend of scenery & hikes; history & re-enactment; comraderie & sharing; forging some new Gathering frontiers ...
More to come ... sorry you missed it, but we will do our best to bring it on home!
