Well I didn't get many good ones but I thought if I started a thread with the ones I did get maybe some of y'all might post some of your pictures too.

That picture of Charles Isaac, over the wall with his Krag, bayonet fixed, flag above, needs to be among the rotating pictures on the home page of the GAF site. Some others as well.

Well I thought I started a picture thread, but found out I had done it in the report thread, was tired I guess so here are mine so far:

A shot on the way up on Highway 11:

Got there about dark and unloaded, this was the view:

I lit a lantern, and went to work on a hunk of corned beef and some coffee:

Rain in the night dampened things:

But was got going again right after daylight:

After finishing cooking with cabbage and tators it was good:

Salt Crick Rick watching the gravy for supper:

Troops kept showing up, some in civies:

The fire was kept going in to guide in late arrivals:

Morning was chilly:

But the work in the kitchen went on:

Evening after supper found the troops pretty much staying in the barracks because of cold weather:

Checking a fancy weather device it was decided that it might be gettin' white outside:

New device was accurate:

Breakfast was a bit late, but was sausage and scambled eggs and bacon to fuel the troops well for the cold, despite an accident where several eggs were lost, and more had to be cracked:

Rick prepared the noon bacon and beans:

The kitchen became a sloppy mess:

But dinner was ready for the troops when the returned:

Five dutch ovens were filled with roast and veggies for supper:

And the sundown was great:

The troops retired to the barracks after supper for prizes:

Because of tactial planning in the barrarks till the wee hours of the morning, the cooks slept a bit late and instead of hash, the pot roast was rewarmed for breakfast, and the noon meal started, which because of the cold required the lard and flour to be warmed a bit:

Salt Crick Rick cleaned some of the gear before leaving:

Despite the weather looking bad, the commissary dept was able to make it home with just a bit of ice stuck to the side of the wagon:

A very fun trip.

MORE PICHERS DAGNABBIT! y'know, I keep looking at Capt. Mack, and the the Russian sub skipper from "The Russians are Coming!" keeps popping into my head . . .

Pitspitr · October 22, 2009, 09:28:06 PM

Yes, I'm anxiously awaiting Dusty Tagalon and Mikey's photo's.

Delmonico · October 23, 2009, 05:48:38 PM

Me too, BTW I have sent both links to some friends who post on other boards I'm on, but like the pictures from these type things. They say they are great.

Pitspitr · October 28, 2009, 09:16:06 PM

Nobody else got any pictures?

Dusty Tagalon · October 28, 2009, 11:48:44 PM

Only photos taken on my camera were the posse photos. Would like to see the department staff photo.

Hi Brian
Can you e-mail me a copy of each of the squad photos? I didn't end up with one.

I guess we'll really have to start leaning on Col. Little and Cactus Rope to get on Mikey to get his pix posted.

Last I heard Mike had them edited and on a CD. He was having some situation with posting them. Probably has to do with size of file. He started with over 350 photos, probably down to , maybe half. I told him he should get in touch with you to see about sending to our webmaster so he could post them to GAF site. Apparently he hasn't done that. Will remind him.
