Pirate fest at Hidden Lake Az is on from January 20 to 22nd. located a little southeast of Buckeye Az, its a manmade drainage area turned into a makeshift fishing haven. Last time we went there was two large (period) encampments by the Seadogs of Freeport and Clan Darksail. Lots to see, live music, black powder demo's, a few vendors. It's off the grid fer power and no outside food, liquids allowed (hide yer water in yer vehicle or buy their overpriced swill). Bout a 2 hour drive from Tucson mostly freeway. I-10 to I-8 then north at Gila Bend till almost to Buckeye, or If ye fells the need to pass thru Phoenix just stay on I-10 till ye hit the Buckeye turnoff and head south. Had good time there, lots of ideers to steal. Capt'ns been notified, wiil post if/when an official raid will be made. Got there so early last time I beat the troll booth people and walked in without a fee. Still ain't sure wot admission was? Attachments:

As much as I would love to go, I just spent too much money playing chauffer to drive a woman to and around and from Las Vegas last week. The ONLY part of that trip I enjoyed was finding a Traditional Martial Arts store.
Got back Thursday and Friday packed for a multi-day kayak-camping trip down the Colorado river. Too much rain and wind and cold and waves and James and raccoons all night to be as much fun as it normally is.
I am still washing clothes and gear from those trips and my legs and bones still ache from the rain and cold and lack-of-sleep to do another camping trip so soon.
Next month, I can afford it but not now.
Bummer as it sounds like fun.

Smaller turnout than last year, few less vendors, still had a good time. Phoenix was a kamakazi zone coming home. Pics of a few projects to toss in the to do bin- Attachments:

Historical nitpickin' on the mortar- Phillips head screws didn't come about 'till the early 1930's. Jus sayin'...
