Great work, shooters! And you beer-drinkers and banjo-pickers and Hula-Hoopers, too. Looks like a heck of a weekend.

Great write up Wayne.

I didn't take that many photos this trip. Must've been distracted by something....

Crazy fun. (emphasis on crazy)
Friday drizzle dried up right after puttin' up the rain fly, which opened the door for a great jam session. The muse visited often and we found some magic on the strings.

I got this great new camera that takes them thar battery thingies. a few shots into the evening and I was finished for the rest of the trip...DOH...

I'll share what I've got though,
Image
Wayne had a full pint pretty much the whole time. He had quite a twinkle in his eye. I think he was making up for camps missed.


Image
The fire was nice...

Motley Crew. See that twinkle in Waynes eye. Spiffy just plain scares me in this shot. he appears to be under Wilson's control...

The crab expedition the morning after the 'all day beer sip' had Mike planning the quickest routes to the window, and Bob sat white knuckled 'cause of my aggressive driving. :geek: I jes kept thinkin' "right around this next bend"...

The beer tasting while making gumbo was my favorite part. Thems was some tasty beers and a perfect apartif for the potluckfeast.

Saturday's clear skies made fer a cold evening. Roaring fire warmed yer front and freezing cheeks reminded you to turn around once in a while, kind of 'slow roast' like.

The folk from Seattle were a nice addition to the mix at the campfire.

Funny thing about jour little campfire. It was one of the few and seemed to attract thems what was sneaking away fer a little nip and a bit o' carousing. Our own little speakeasy among the dunes.


Gotta get down to the HUB (http://www.hopworksbeer.com/) to check out our new best buddy James...Jimmy ...Jimo...uh...the guy that owns a brewpub.....heh...heh...heh... :joker:

I tip my hat to Mark for getting a full keg 'stead of a pony. 'Twas a perfect amount (i.e. lots).

Can't wait for the next one.

April...? East side...?
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

Did you guys finally drain it after I left Sunday AM?

We should think of changing things up and visiting Jamie for a Monday git together.

That was a great few days.

The funniest part was Spiff's story of staking out a barf exit strategy in case push came to shove on his ride with you guys into town.

That was a hair of the dog day if there ever was one for me. Took more poison (beer) to get the other poison (beer) to calm down. :geek:

Glad I recognized the VW window sliders and new something of their operation....just in case Hammy didn't want cookies on his camera.

No, maybe, probably, yes.
