The Patuxents and friends built this authentic Eastern Woodland Indian
Longhouse. It has 8 layers of bark on the roof and 5 in the walls. It
withstood the mighty Potomac River in full flood!
This is our annual hunt and scout. We were on Shaver's Mountain in West Virginia
late October in 1996.

We had split the group to lessen the impact of our presence. Here we

This is the gang after a week on the mountain. If you ever see me,
ask me about the sign. I would be glad to tell you about it!
Here are some pictures of various other events.
