No rain for a month

Awesome!

Jousting has been making a comeback as a sport over the last decade.

Thanks for posting the GREAT photos, looked like lots of fun.
I was at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival (can you believe the acronym BARF ?) on March 12. (Can't prove it, can't post any pics). They were jousting there. Full contact for sure, the lances were being snapped off as they hit.
