Thanks Rich,
Last night I watched my video from the 1998 Gathering.
I had filmed the whole Skyline and Cliff trails at Chimney Rock.
I wanted to see them again especially since now they're closed. I
know the Skyline is open to Exclamation Point.
It was fun to watch you and Eric tell all the stories for the 1st time
at Linville and Table Rock.
Eric and Sharon do their fake battle scene. Good Memories.

Now I have to pack for one more adventure.

Hi, Rich.

Thanks for your good wishes! I know I'll be sitting at Louise's with half an eye out - hoping for one pony-tailed gentleman to appear at the top of the stairs...

It's never the same without you.

*sigh* Guess I'll have to watch my old videos too...thank goodness Jeff had the video camera attached to his hand when we attended way back when!

Have a wonderful time - all of you! The memories and friends that you will make are priceless...I know I've never forgotten them. ~hugs~

PS> look forward to all the pictures! *hint* HINT!

Dear 2010 Gatherers....Sending you all blessings for great adventures this year. The Batliners will not be able to have this years gathering to put down in our memories. We are heartbroken that we can't attend this year....so climb those mountains with us in mind and slide down those waterfalls for us too. I still just want to hop into the car and head that way.

Love to all of you we will miss you dearly.

Best wishes and good times for all at this year's Gathering. Claude and I remember this as one of the most fun, interesting, educational, friendly times. We will miss seeing the veterans and meeting the newbies. Take it all in! Happy Gathering!

Hey Jo - seems like some of the details and pictures were initially uploaded onto Facebook. That should be a good place to start until everybody gets back home and starts uploading their albums.

Hi all! Vincent is right... Facebook is the place. It was easy for several of us (April, Eric, Phil, me and probably others) to upload pictures immediately to Facebook, at least where cell signal allowed. Then we would add comments and that was the extent of updates over the weekend. Having done that, I didn't realize until this morning that I had left the rest of you hanging with no message board updates, and I'm sorry!!!
Suffice it to say it was a magnificent weekend. Not a drop of rain fell on us, and things went very smoothly. Parts of the schedule were shuffled around and I was worried how things would flow, but we stayed on track and had plenty of time to enjoy the stops.
Friday at Dupont was beautiful, of course. The falls are on full blast, probably the most water we've seen there during a Gathering. Only one little problem occurred when we accidentally crossed onto private property, and a security guard appeared out of no where and asked Eric, "Are you some kind of guide or something?"
I ain't your scout... haha!

Saturday was a new sort of advencha, with a new twist in the schedule. We started at Manor Inn (Webb's Headquarters), then ventured on to Cameron's Cabin. More about this when I write a detailed summary.

Just over the hill about 15 minutes away we found ourselves at the Elk Hunt and Tracking the War party. Donna brought along screen shots from the movie and much effort was given to figuring out exactly WHICH rock might be the magic one. Last I saw April she was headed further downstream comparing each rock to the ones in the picture.

Saturday afternoon was filled with a LOT of fun and laughter as we enjoyed the raffles and Ariel's Auction. Ariel's comment "Not today, Eric, not today" cracked everyone up and became one of the favorite lines of the Gathering. A quick pizza dinner and off to the movie at Colonial Theater, where Sierra donned her daddy's soldier suit for our entertainment.

Is that the alarm clock already? Mohican Gathering sunrise veterans know 3am comes way too early, but we were thankful for good weather for the awesome sunrise at Green Knob Overlook. Famous Louise's hosted our breakfast and lunch again, and our trips to Table Rock, Linville Falls, and Lake James were made memorable by hearing Soldier #2's reminiscences. No matter how many times I hear his stories, he never fails to entertain and tell me something new I didn't already know. And seeing Ariel hike at Linville Falls is something I'll never forget...pictures forthcoming!

Ok that's the brief low-down. Sorry for not updating here over the weekend. I will upload the rest of my pictures and come up with a more in-depth Gathering 2010 summary in the near future, stay tuned for details!

For those of you who have been part of the Gathering in the past but could not attend for whatever reason this time, you were on our minds and in our hearts while we were on the trails. Rich, Elaine, Lady Ann, Marcia, the Sweetsers, Kate, Roz, Vincent, Clabert, Adele, Ilse, Joe and Belinda, John Evans and family, Theresa and Claude, Bookworm, Caitlin and gang, the Batliners, Kay & Bill, Michael & Kimberly, Sharon, Matthew... so many others... your names were mentioned with fond memories and hopes that all is well with you.

More later! Thanks for the well wishes and thoughts.

We'll be looking forward to it, Steph ... As you know, I am registered on Facebook - and I did follow the posts over there over the weekend, best I could - but I am really not a fan ... It's kind of an anarchistic free-for-all ... to me, anyway. I need order!
