I remember someone starting this thread back in April, so I don't know if it got lost or if it progressed, but I thought that I'd get it going to see where folks played their whistles this year.
So, on my summer vacation, I...
...went to Harney Peak in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It's tradition to go hiking when I get home. I've been up here in 0 degree weather when the snow was 2 feet deep. When I was 5 I hiked it (was carried) with the flu. I hiked up the day before my wedding. It's a beautiful place to be.

Tell us something.: A long time chatty Chiffer but have been absent for almost two decades. Returned in 2022 and still recognize some names! I also play anglo concertina now.
Most people already know what I did since I posted pics all summer but here you go:
This summer I entered the world of public performing. The first pic is a Celtic festival in Colorado, and the second is a medieval banquet in Utah. Considering I hail from New York, I'd say that qualifies as whistling in strange and unusual places.
Light spills into the hidden valley,
Illuminating the falls, paths, and
The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;
I am finally home. ~Isilwen Elanessë
This summer 5 of my friends and I all piled into a van and went on a road trip. We started in Port Hope, Ontario (near toronto) and drove to Radium B.C. and back again.
It was a little cramped with 6 people in one van, plus clothing, food and camping gear. It got better as we ate down the food supplies though.
Hi new fella! Forum is for whatever we want it to be! I started vacation whistler thread last Spring. We like seeing each other spreading the gospel of whistle in exotic and or vacation-y locales.
Send us a pic of yer skinhead fence crushing fun but dont forget to be playing a whistle in the shot!!
What did I do this summer? Lemme think. There was SOMETHING! Oh yes, I got married! Among about 100 guests was Glenn Schultz of Thin Weasel. Had a terrific honeymoon in Cancun too

Loren, I know what you mean man, it might not look it, but with my lower right hand I do use the piper's grip, I couldn't make the transition with my left hand..yet. It seems to work using the standard grip, but, after a while my left wrist does get a bit sore...
