As I am helping organize the Kelso, WA event this year, I have added the Sheaf, Open Stone and, for you advanced throwers, a Masters Class. Of course in the west we use a 20# sheaf, not the boys 16#er. No offense to the easterners!

I am trying to revive our local event. It has had a rocky history and is on the way back. We can't let another games die!

Crikey, Big Mike...that's great...

Those are great Stone marks, especially for your first outing. Let me rephrase that...GREAT stone numbers for your first outing.

This is my third season and your LWFD mark has 3 feet on me!
You turned a caber in your first Games? Yer an animal!!

I sure hope you're going to keep throwing!

I'm so hooked at this point that I have completely changed my gym workout.

Thanks for the remarks. If it helps I have a Track & Field background ;)

We plan On making a few trips to other West Coast Games this summer.

Modesto, Monterey and Fresno would all be long drives for you, but not totally beyond reason. A lot of the Nor Cal Rabble will probably attend the Monterey event, and Yaish, who started all this, often comes up for Monterey (though he doesn't post at X Marks any more).

Costa Mesa is coming up, in So Cal..
