The Dwarves of Atenveldt

Gunwaldt and Heinrich once wanted to be in a processional and didn't have a group to march with so they and a few others had themselves announced in as "The Dwarves of Atenveldt," and it stuck (yea verily, it created a monster). There were three events involving axe tournaments and poison apples to choose Snow White. Here are photos from the first of those, which was held in Santa Clara Canyon, west of Santa Clara Pueblo, in the Jemez Mountains, the last weekend of July 1978.

The internet is NOT forever; feel free to save those images in your own safe places.

More Dwarven tales might be added someday.
