Angola civil war days, 2012

Angola civil war days was a very small event with multiple times being represented. It was very rainy, and when it wasn't raining it was misting. At first it was not that bad, just a drizzle now and then, but then the clouds opened up and it started pouring that cold driving rain. We all gathered under the pavilion, to wait out the rain. Just outside the pavilion was a large tent selling hot dogs for fifty cents, and a large cup of hot chocolate for a quarter...I bought two hot chocolates, and I swear it never tasted so good. After the rain stopped for a while, we went back to the officers tent, and met a half apache man running a sutler tent right beside us. He was a very interesting man. He lead guided elk hunts with bows and arrows out west. He tolled us once of a time when he was hunting those little prairie chickens, and the game warden came up (They are very good friends) and said "you are really starting to piss me off" The man said "why? I have all the licenses to hunt these" and the warden said "I have been trying for eight years to kill one of those things with a .22 rifle, and here you go shooting four of them with a damn bow and arrow!"
