Desert Trip

Every year the men from our church head out the the desert for a couple days of fun with guns. Here we have Randy's "gun", a scale model canon he made with the help of some friends. Here are some more pictures of the canon and some of the other activities of the weekend.

The hole in this propane tank is, you guessed it, from a canon ball.

Jim plays a blacksmith in civil war reenactments. He brought some tools on this trip to work on some knives he was making out of railroad spikes.

That'll do it for now. I have a number of things I would like to catch up on... no promises though. In other news, as I type this there is a great thunderstorm going on around us, the likes of which I have never seen in the years I have spent in LA. It is wonderful!
