Mr. 16 gauge,

You have a clue about what our yardsales are mostly like; 90% are baby clothes, toys, and JUNK! My other great find yesterday for 75 Cents was "The Rifle in America" by Philip B. Sharp. The book is NEW in and out and was reprinted by the NRA for its Firearms Classic Library offering of the 1938 Edition.

As for the camp, I have a 10-acre hardwoods tract called the "West Woods." There are a few pine trees, but most are Ash and Maple. A very good Spring is at the North end of the woods and an Anthropologist told me this was a former Indian campsite. Nearby is a Seneca Religious rockpile that Dr. Ann Mabe told me was the northern most site so far in PA that she has discovered. French & Indian War activity occured in this area 1756-1763. I will build some sort of period-correct camp this Summer for me and the dog.

Adam
