Well...Friday night I had a dinner party for BF'S B-day. Served Champagne and great easy apps.. (Cut peaches into wedges and wrap with proscuitto and and anchor with a basil leaf with a toothpick) Everyone raved!
Had Filltes grilled, baked potatoes and corn on the cob, sourdough garlic bread and a gardern salad.
Homemade German Chocolate cake, coffee and after dinner drinks!
Spent Saturday and Sunday at the beach with friends, cooking, eating, playing cards and soaking up the sun!!! All in all it was an ideal weekend!

Pretty good weekend. During the days I did trim carpentry on my house and have almost finished a major summer project. Friday evening we had neighbors over to dinner. That was interesting as they are LDS. They seem pretty cool and it seems like we all had a real nice time. Yesterday afternoon other neighbors invited us over to dinner and it was yummy!

Ah, life in the state park "campground": A badly overcrowded enclave of massive recreational vehicles crammed side-by-side with each other, screaming kids wildassing around on bicycles, barking dogs, pot smoking sullen teenagers, harried rangers trying to keep order, retired couples (women with blue hair and flourescent white legs, grouchy old guys with pot bellies and cigars), rednecks rampaging on off-road-vehicles, long lines for the restrooms, did I mention the barking dogs?, the stench of burned hot-dogs and smoldering campfires, the aroma of the camp outhouses, trash and empty beer bottles adorning abandoned camp sites, etc. Get the picture?

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Americana at its finest! A Norman Rockwell moment. I think he painted something like this after his Thanskgiving portrait, Freedom from Want. (Sans the vomit filled Smoky the Bear.)

You know how dogs, when they get together loose all sense of domesticity and training and turn into a pack of savage wolves that terrorize livestock? .... Well the same happens to people at public campgrounds. Look on the bright side at least Mt. Saint Helens didn't erupt. Uhhhhh, on second thought, maybe that would have been better.

lol, earl. I see you've experienced modern day "camping" at its finest. I'm glad you saw the humor in it.

Seriously, though, I rarely venture into the state park campgrounds for all the reasons I mentioned. Too much commotion. I usually head up into the higher country to see just how far up the road I can drag my trailer without damaging it (or, at least, permanently damaging it). Higher up are the smaller, better, more picturesque campsites away from the madenning crowd. True, these remote campsites on USFS land tend not to have cable TV access or latte kiosks but they also don't have the hordes of screaming kids either. See attached pic of a more choice campsite I frequent.

Mt St. Helens indeed did alot of campground clearance very rapidly back in 1980.

Yes, I was one of those wildassing kids once. White trash was my middle name. Sounds like the logjam clan was up there with you.

Nice camp sight, Speedo.
But I thought Volvo's were the safest of cars. Pffffffff.

Worked 12 and 7 hour shifts.... yay!! I'm fucking tired... it was alright.

Bravo for working on the weekend. At least one of us isn't going to lose a job to someone in India, Korea, China (or wherever) who's willing to work 12 hour shifts on a weekend. :smile:

As for the rest of you, you should all be ashamed. :mad:

lol, I was one of those wildassing kids too, at times. Now that I'm adult (at least in name) and a parent I can fully understand why God fearing families retreated inside their campers and locked the doors anytime they say us approaching on our Schwinn Stingrays. "Knights of the Grey Underwear" we called ourselves. A peddling version of the Hell's Angels biker gang. It was fun.

Ha, I had an olive green 3-speed Schwinn Stingray with a banana seat. We would dare each other doing jumps off ramps. I made some chopper forks for the front tire with pipe I remember. :cool:
