2013 Fort Knapadonia Knap-in Report It's hard to beat the annual Fort Knapadonia Knap-in! This year's event, hosted again by Joe and Sunny Higgins was everything we've grown to know and love. Lot's of great knappers, great food and terrific fishing! This year's event was also notable for the number of noobies, about a half dozen students from the Wilderness Awareness school attended and benefitted from the experience of several PSK Master Knappers as well as free rock, loaner tools and safety glasses! There was once serious problem at this event - making up one's mind on whether to knap or fish - what a dilemma! Here's a look at some of what went on (thanks to contributing photographers Bettye Hensel, Joe Greenwell, Joan Urata, Henry and Rosalie Payne and Bill Camche):
