Hello from Alaska

[Ramblinbill]

My name is Bill, and I came up here to spend a couple of months in Alaska. That was four years ago, and I'm finally on my way home to Tennessee.

I have a small farm in Flat Creek in Bedford County which gives me a decent place to shoot.

I really enjoy old rolling blocks, sharps, trapdoors and flintlocks.

I also enjoy reloading, especially for obsolete calibers.

I'm here because I'm always looking for new information and folks to shoot with.

Did you go to the magic bus on the stampede trail?

[Ramblinbill]

No, I haven't.

What's the magic bus on the stampede trail? Have I missed something here?

[Daniel]

I read "into the wild" recently.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Wild

The book begins with the discovery of McCandless's body inside an abandoned bus (location 63°51′36.13″N, 149°24′50.62″W)

Oh, I know what you mean now. Poor kid.

We talked about him a little at work. He certainly had the spirit and the will, but lacked the knowledge.

[Ramblinbill]

Where did you get your CIB?

[towerclimber37]

[Daniel]

Where did you get your CIB?

03-04 in iraq.

I really identified with his urge to get out and see what there is to see. Experience things.

When you get back to Bedford county, give a shout if you want some company shooting! There's a few of us here that currently have no real place to shoot besides the ranges.
