My friend Mike Morris has told my about Sgt. Patrick Gass's ax head located in a Interpretive center in Washington state on the north side of the Columbia river looking over the beautiful Pacific Ocean. I've been there and have seen the ax. It's wonderful to see actual artifacts of the expedition instead of reproductions. According to Mike, this is a Gass Ax so he felt it was OK now to use a chainsaw on his primitive campouts as Gassaxe's can be documented! I thought you might get a chuckle out of that. bb - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2003 18:27:37 -0500 From: "Jim Zeigler" Subject: MtMan-List: N.W.
