1998 Training Camp (7/30/1998)

With the PAT VAN back from the shop, and nice weather in the forecast, why not make a trip to Training Camp? So Clint, Mike and John piled in the van and took a mental health day down at Patriots training camp at Bryant College in Smithfield, Rhose Island.

We were joined by a couple of thousand fans trying to get a glimpse of what the Pats running game looked like, among other things. It's also an opportunity to get close to the players, and stand on equal footing with them, not to mention close proximity!

These are a few of all the pictures taken - more coming soon!
