Oh, yeah.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

That could be interpreted in a couple ways with this lovely virus.
Ouch! I don't even know what body part I could gouge out to erase that uh, uh, ouch!

My son and I had other camping plans for the weekend in Prineville, however we did drop in on the way back to Portland to check it out.

I posted some pictures on Facebook.... my son took a few of them.

On a side note: We were driving our 77 Riviera - the off-white one with the stripes on the sides. This weekend was our first big drive of the year (other than the short run from Portland to Woodburn & back). I spent the winter rebuilding the engine only to have an oil galley plug pop out of the engine behind the flywheel during a shakedown cruise in late April. We found another engine and rebuilt it in a matter of a couple weeks. No problems at all with the new motor. We averaged about 20mpg fully loaded (gear, fuel and full water tank). The drive home was challenging with the wind. I'm putting this camp-out on my schedule for next year!

Didn't expect to go but Hambone's family backed out so I tagged along and slept in my tent. Very good time and glad I went. Posted pics here http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll23 ... VW%202010/. Here are a few of my Favs.

Great event again for sure! Thanks all for making this event what it is.

I'm totally poo'd. Headed out 5:45 Monday morning for the start of 6 days on the John Day ... some working ... 3 for fun with the family. 70 miles of river rowed...many of them in slack water with a FULL load and a head wind. Still beats sitting at a desk answering emails :geek:

Thanks again, you're all what make this event get better and better. Already pondering the 8th Annual ... will be here in a heartbeat. Later, Mark

Moi is wondering who "Moe" is, and why I don't remember meeting him...

So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....
