Each year the Contemporary Longrifle Association holds a show in Lexington, KY. The best builders of KY rifles and frontier knives nationwide and the top collectors bring their goodies for display.
The show is this weekend and me and a couple of friends (yes, I have real live noncomputer friends) go down there each year.
It is one of those cheap trips. Admission is only $10 and after you get in you can't afford anything they have anyway so you don't spend anything.
We are talking about rifles starting at $10,000-$15,000 and hawks and knives in the $5,000-$7,000 range. We always claim we go to see what we can not afford this year.
This is our version of an art show. You look, you study and admire the craftsmanship and abilities and appriciate the wares for what they are.
