Thanks for sharing all your pictures. Looks like a great time and a fun trip.
I hope one day to visit GEC myself as it looks like a neat place to "hang out".

Hey Jan,Hey Donnie! Great pictures! Your pictures are really nice, they add faces to the names a lot of us hear often at this site. I really enjoyed meeting you folks and everybody at GEC. The tour was totally awesome! the way these knives are made is unbelievable. I didn't realize ANYTHING was made that way nowadays! Each and every single little part,hand fit,hand finished. Each and every knife blade smacked twice ,by hand,with a ball peen hammer to test for breakage? Unbelievable!And a WHOLE FACTORY devoted to Quality of Product! I just can't get over it.
It also sounds like you finished your vacation with a good trip back south. The Shenandoah Valley is one of my favorite places.I think it's about the most scenic place west of the Mississippi.Except for maybe parts of the Coast! I hope I can make the trip to Titusville for Rendezvous again next year!

Bob,
We were there for the drawing but my old brain cannot think of the name. Checking on it for us though. I apologize, I should have had that on here way before now. Thanks for keeping me on my toes

"The Porch" may be one of the best parts of the whole outing and it sure sounds good to me.
If''n the snakes and tarantulas don't get me a'fore then we'll see what we can do.
