for those of u that attended awesome job! was very interesting n active. i am looking forward to experince more of the playing field which is farely vast n narrow. even though most of us were torn n scratch from thorns didnt affect game play at all. came back home with battle wounds n a sunburn. was well worth it!! ty for those who made it a very memorable experince. for future events i am looking into getting a camera maybe a video camera would like to put together an album of events plus of teams who had attended!! im ready to gear up so be warned lol

Yeah it was a good time. My hand hurts and is swollen from those thorns but I guess that is what happens when your in the Nam. lol. The land is cool, a bit narrow in places but it is long with lots of places to hide. Too bad we were part of the Opfor and could not practice out Lrrp techniques at this one but I think we will have plenty of opportunities in the near future.

Jeremy

those were my thoughts too. great to do lrrp especially when the creek isnt so deep n could expand to the other side. was also thinkn how awesome it would be to do lrrp when we trekd futher back. next time im wearin long sleeves lol

Yeah I think that you and Timmy got chewed up pretty bad. Those damn thorns have a poison on them that causes infections and...well keep everything cleaned up or your arm is going to look like my hand.

Yeah I think I would agree with you on that. I will let Kbar know that we need to purchase a first aid kit to take up there.
