Mountain men, and women, rendezvous in Smith River

Backwoods folks from miles around settled into the Rowdy Creek Rod and Gun Club campsite near the Smith River over the 4th of July weekend for a precious few days of civilized activity. It is unknown if any actually made it into the Smith River for a well-needed bath. 

Left, Mike Smith sends a lead ball down range with his .62 caliber Indian trade gun, then prepares another reload before the critter he was aiming at crawls into the bushes.
