And yes, the bugs were bad. Totally bad. Bad, bad, bad. And, we'll make our case for carrying a spare fuel pump with you camping....later, when I feel more like typing. And yes, I needed a spare, and yes, I had a spare :flower:

Hello fellow Hambone campers,

I have an extra blue metal camping plate which I believe to be Gypsie's.
Did anyone pick up and extra blue metal camping bowl? I came home with only three.

Gypsie...I will bring the plate to the Lucky Lab tonight in case you decide to stop by. I will leave it with Hal or Barry if you can't make it.

thanks!

Just now seeing this. Yes I did end up with one less plate. T'anks.


Did anyone this year (or in years past) lose a chrome hubcap?

Found one on the way out. Seem to recall someone was missing one last year?
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

Lovely place for a breakdown. Trout wasn't supposed to be there, brain did not register.

Yep, that damn Deschutestrout.

Lovely place for a breakdown, about 10 miles from camp

But it was getting hot, Sheiks coming out making me nervous

He got it.

Dusk stroll

Off into the setting sun

Like chapel glass thru the trees

The photo of you with the cigar is priceless. I do think it sums up the inner-you nice and tidy-like.

(hangs head in shame)
[insert 20 minutes of uncomfortable silence]
[a slow grainy long shot of hambone alone in a dripping empty factory, rusty pipes. Suddenly jumps up, as if startled and runs heroically out of sight and off to the left, screaming and bawling, ripping his clothes off. Somehow the stink of excrement pervades the scene. The factory itelf provides a hollow mockery]

Looks like I sat down most of the trip. Prolly the safest place for me....I was only attracting the slowest moving bugs.

I'm not in any of the pictures because I levitated the entire time I wasn't there.
