Hell yeah, Tripp!

I was actually about to ask y'all if something was in the works within the next couple years. 2004 was easily one of the best events I've ever been to and I'm pumped for 2008 now!

If there was a registration form yet, you would have mine in hand- yesterday.

Tripp,

I think I might write my own form and send it in.

ONE MORE HILL!!!

Will machetes be issued to the Federal vanguard for the approach march? :D

I wonder if someone will find the Mittons.

Re: Event at Pickett's Mill 2008

Just so everyone knows we are specially ordering extra Scorpions for the event along with planting a extra large crop of poison ivy. We felt folks were disappointed the lack of both of these last time.

Andy:

That was my favorite humorous event moment until the notorious Donelson Pie Theft of 2006. We still make fun of Liechty for running up and down the line at PM in '04 yelling for the Mintons. Has anyone seen the Mintons?

Pickett's Mill? Again? Red Georgia clay, scorpions, hills, humidity, heat.

HELL YEAH. SOUNDS GREAT.

And they were napping on the picket line!!

You should have seen Dom's face when I came up to him and said I couldn't find my Minton's. :cry_smile

Oh you bet I'll be putting it on my calendar...can this Texan portray a "Texan" at this event?

Also, can you throw in a Southern Copperhead...I already had one of them thar scorpions on my bedroll in the 04 event
Thanks for the heads up!

Tripp,

Are those Columbus or Tuscaloosa Depot scorpions and poison ivy? C'mon, man, document it!

Re: Event at Pickett's Mill 2008

Ya'll don't know the half of it. We are currently training the red bugs (chiggers for anyone not from south Georgia) to savor reenactor flesh and the ticks on how to better chase a man in wool. Of course, the naughty deers are getting very excited about the prospect of so many men in the field, so if you hear thundering hoofs it may not be the cavalry. We hope to have the wild turkeys properly trained to deliver a special night air drop that I am sure everyone will find amusing. All the ghosts are eagerly waiting for 2008 because they look forward to another big laugh as all those hot, winded reenactors march by through the posion ivy.

Start getting into marching shape.
