"RiverDance with Steel-Toed Workboots"

OMG--that's one of my favorites! Do you prefer the Stainless or Rusty version?

Piece of cake! All we had to do was tie the crown lines to a couple of 5" pine trees!

Yes, everyone there with the 'crew' was outstanding. In retrospect, I wish I had hung with you all more. I did not know I would get as involved with FR as I did. and I didn't know that you were part of FR as such

Like I said I had just signed up with FR the wee hours the prior night, had driven 8 hours alone (well, with my pooch) without any sleep for 24+ hours and knew I had a little hike yet to get to the rally location. When I got to the rally location I had "position" .. and most of the good area for viewing was a mudhole. So did a lot of wandering to get pix of various groups of people etc.

I will see what other pix I have of balloon crew etc.Might post little bigger/better pix. will post here for you & abner. I believe she was NOT there that day.

I took several hundred pix that day . Anytime you folks are in our area (well, couple hundred miles) i will try to join you.

Congrats Abner! I bet it killed the "Anti-"USA Today (Gannett Co.) paper to run a photo of something so pro-US as your team and your flag!

It will probably cause a flurry of ACLU protests to call for the separation of Flag and State.

But way to go and keep up the good work!

Dirty little secret... . They posed for that pic. :-)

No way! VOC looks totally natural in that shadowy pose. ;-)

What I was doing, by the way, was NOT dancing (it was a "Patriotic Prance")

LOL! ;-D

Please demonstrate the "Patriotic Prance" next time we see you in person! ;-)

LOL! ;-D

Maybe VOC's "Patriotic Prance" can be turned into a new enterprise, a la "Dancing Homer" (from the Simpsons).
