First, my "ol" buddy, the Hoser!

What else would he have for breakfast? Thats the "Hoser Compound" in the background. He slept in his truck. ( not pictured) On the left is the peepeeteepee/changing room, that went down in the wind several times. The screen tent, also was down almosts as much as up. After a few days, we applied the expertise of the CCC to correct the problem. I'd say the Wyoming experience was a new one for the Hose!

Gods country but the mosquitos,wind,altitude and frost rules with a iron fist. My buds on another forum got hit by a twister at RYE Patch and really got blown away too-John :lol: PS-you sure got that one right Russau--a NEW experience was great--learned to deal with wind but that damn hail was a pain in the back and I'd do it again just to smooze with the great folks like you brother!!

Still on vacation but have access to internet for now...
Wow what a great time. I am so sad that I missed most of you guys, but work is work.
Here are a few pics. I had one of the big hailstorm that ruined my awning but it is too big to upload (64 meg).
BTW the recipe for the Atomic margarita is 2 parts of a good reposado tequila ( We like Cuervo Tradicional), 1 part Cointreau, and 1 part lime juice, fresh squeezed. As you can tell that is 3 parts 80 proof and 1 part lime juice. Or about 60 proof itself. Yahooo!
Some pics:
Here is Lee dredge tending. ICMJ cover?
