: I hosted a get-together of the PA, NY, NJ Coalition of Historical Trekkers at my cabin this past weekend. We had 20 men there (ahem!!Pvt. Chauncey was NOT in attendance after blowing on about it a couple of weeks ago, remember??...ahem!! Ol' Chauncey chose a week-long trip to Puerto Rico...and the beach...over a weekend of fun and frolic freezing his ass off in Penn's Woods. Can you imagine???)Anyway, the live firing was awesome and very competitive. Ever see a rotten pineapple explode from a direct hit?? (My leftover Christmas decorations.)
: We had them on a 4 hour trek over the beautiful PA mountains, got them involved in a surprise tactical with the Augusta Regiment, fed them until they cried "STOP!!" Libated them silly, after-dinner impromptu music--banjo and fiddle--jokes, stories and lies, we had 'em all, and in general had a fantastic frolic! There was a special private longhunter's camp, and all but those of us in the cabin stayed in it. It was situated in a pine grove away from the cabin and well-secluded, as it should be. The natives in attendance were a great asset. Already there is talk for next year's Winter Weekend with even more frolic and fun!
