While Bob was swelling up, I kept looking in my first aid kit and thinking why is there no benedryl in here? If Bob hit the terrafirma, at least I had smelling salts. I guess it's easy to laugh about it now cuz things could have been different up there.spiffy wrote:I think I'll start adding benadryl to our first aid kit.

Did someone say they needed an epi-pen shot....
Dang. Still no takers.
I swear I could kick Bob's butt for not sayin' anything about his mouth swelling up. An I specifically asked him to let me know if that started happening.
That's when you want to start payin real close attention to what's happening if you're having an allergic reaction. The swelling can quickly move to the throat and cut off much needed oxygen. (A'course then I could put that 'roadside trachiotomy' theory to the test.)
Bob's reaction just shows how healthy and ready his immune system is (IMO). His body Said "Invader!" and the histamine cavalrie rode in to the rescue.
I am scratching my pate about hearing again about some sort of exclusivity thing?
P'raps it just seeing the folk who end up gatherin' having such good times.
Tis true. These gatherings have been GRAND! Anyone that shows up with their bus (and sometimes without), is welcome to find a spot close to the fire. I'll even scootch over to make room and pass whatever's makin' the rounds for sharin'.
Don't let your zipcode make you feel unwelcome, just far off.
Always welcome to comment on the adventures. That's why we are posting here, to share our glee. (Did I just use glee in a sentence, What the...)
Hopin' to head south in the near future (Maybe Covelo's Spring Fling). Hopin to meet as many of this crowd as possible.
Spaking of Black Widows. I had one in a Jar for a year and a half. She even laid a sack of eggs that hatched (which she promptly ate, all 674 of them!) I carried that Jar from Ashland Oregon to Lincoiln City Oregon taped to the handlebars of a little Kawasaki 400 up I5 (Summer job during the college years). She made the trip there and back. Elektra, her name was, may she RIP. (My freakiness goes waaaaaaay back).
Ciao for Niao.

This being my first outing, I just want to say the hazing to get into this exclusive "clique" was really not as bad I thought it would be. (Although the bamboo under the fingernails felt like a little bit overboard, the cold water immersion was somewhat refreshing actually)Gypsie wrote: I am scratching my pate about hearing again about some sort of exclusivity thing?

In all seriousness, I can tell you that you'd be hard-pressed to find a more inclusive, down-to-earth, friendly, and generous group of people than these.
The only hazing taking place was that which was left in the air by spiffy

Thanks Troy! It was great meeting you. Hope you'll camp some more in the near future.

That's good, at least we know that the bite of the Northwestern Shovel Run Spider isn't fatal.
As for Troy, I don't even want to know about Gypsie's relationship with your cochlea.

These trips are very socialist without much organization or formal structure, so you never know what yer gonna git! Always interesting.
See how handsome you all are?
sign of the times
6 wheels and dog
puff of dust
Papa to th rescue
autumn nipping at th heels, winter close behind
scoundrels
the unfortunate inbred
waiting for long dead mules (in vain, but planned)
hot-pot
Apple-cheeks
too many wieners (I'm jus sayin)
refrain
"an inch separates heaven and hell"
breakfast at Gypsie Wagen
in the mist
pretending to be Alaska
