GLP Could not believe I did not photograph you laughing.
Must be some in the less-than-crisp-night-photos.
With all the hours of laughing.

Next time will make a point of candid portraits of all the smiling faces.
Happy happy people standing around the fire.


SilvrSurfr that was a fine self-portrait video you did.
Your running dialogue always makes us laugh.

Russ and I have put our equipment away and I am still picking briar stickers out of my behind! The area was challenging to be sure. When setting up in a briar patch it is all about location, location, location. Gris and I were talking when a tree shed a branch right between us! It was very windy and the tree tops were spinning like dervishes. Exciting!!! Dinner was great and the company was wonderful. We had so much fun and we were happy to make some new friends. GLP...you got some cute feet buddy!!

I was looking at all the trails that had been made through the briars that lead to everyone’s hammocks. I said to Syb if tenters show up here sometime over the next couple of weeks they will most likely scratch their heads and think to themselves how did they set up a tent and sleep in the briars with all those rocks on the side of this mountain.

I definitely felt like Br'er Rabbit living in the Briar Patch. Does anyone know what kind of briars they were? Looked like some kind of berry plant to me. Could be some good eatin' during the summer!

I am fairly well covered in briar wounds - some I was able to dig out. Others I'll have to wait till they fester!

So sad I had to miss this, great pic's and vid all!
