No worries, Rich. But, again, we will be better prepared for that venture next time.

About Horseshoe Bend, we'd love to have a visitor. Come on down!
There's a little information at the following:

http://www.nps.gov/hobe/index.htm

The last weekend in March they have a living history event to commemorate the anniversary of the battle which includes musket and cannon firings, Native Americans and early frontier cultural demonstrations and interpretive programs. We may mosy down that way one weekend in the near future and then try to go back in March.

Then of course, there's Fort Toulouse in Wetumpka which is about an hour's drive from here. They have stuff going on year round but in April they will have a French and Indian encampment. Bet your booties we're there!

: Not to worry, Theresa!!! No apologies (or excuses) necessary! Just kidding with that yesterday ...

: By the way, I've always wanted to go to Horseshoe Bend. Mind a visitor???

: And, for those who don't browse - no, not you, Kate!!! :-) - here's another new pic. It took me awhile to figure out where this was ...

: : I don't like to make excuses, but getting to the Geneva and not getting into bed until 2:30 am is probably why Claude and I didn't make this. I can assure you, we will be better prepared next time!

: : : : : : ABOVE: What's wrong with this picture? Taken at roughly 6:30AM on June 14, 2001 at the Greenknob ... Answer below!
: : : : : : OK, about the above photo ... of the 18 people there (including me, who took the picture), 5 of them are NON-US citizens .. 5 out of 7 who, by my count, attended the 2001 Gathering - Mary G., Rob, Adele, Ilse, & Kate. The other 2, Martha & Bertha, were on their way to this location, but turned back at Bear Den road, mistakenly thinking they still had an hour to go & would never make it. So, really, we would have had 100 percent non-US participation at this very early Gathering kickoff. Compare that to about 14% - 15% US participation. My point? I don't know, but it sure says something!

: : : : :
: : : : : I think what it says is......those folks were still on European time and to THEIR body clock it was 2 PM! To the American's body clock it was 4:30 AM or earlier! Might be one answer......

: : : :
: : : : Ahh ... a good first guess ... but 4 of the 7 were ... Canadians! I think the answer lies elsewhere ...

: : : Depends on the body clock. :) My clock is running down. Old body, need new one please.
