Ed had a winter trek planned for us that at points you had to demonstrate woodsman and knowledge skills. Here we are deciding who goes first for a turkey calling contest. Doug won that one.

Ed Robey (WV Rep, COHT), had won a auction for the private use of the Fort and its grounds for himself and a number of friends at the charity auction for the Prickett's Fort at the School of the Long Hunters. Ed had some of us attending lecture on some things that we where familiar with to each other, as well as he had some guest speakers come in and lecture. We had a fine feast of period foods, a fine pot of Green Death lasted all weekend. He also held a small trek around the grounds and had stations where we performed differant frontiersman skills. This in it self was a treat as you can see, the weather treated us to record blizzard that weekend.
