I would have liked to have seen a Mennonites vs. Amish Grudge Match in the Grant Grove parking lot!

Don't the Amish also separate themselves from the outside world? I think Mennonites travel a lot. Seen a lot of them at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

You may be right then.

Okay, I'm impatient. Please forgive me for reposting things I'd accidentally posted in the Sooo... thread:

Okay, time for some pics.

I arrived Friday night/Saturday morning at about 2:30am (give or take), so I slept in my car that first night. Didn't sleep long, of course, so I was up with the morning crowd.

Thurston finds himself in a bit of a pickle

Alex arrived shortly after I got up, camera in hand.

DP and FP lounge it up while the breakfast team gets cracking

Thurston is still in a pickle

Mommy? A little help please? (Actually, I include this because I have only a few pics that include Susan, and this is one of them)

My home away from home

Thurston gets lovies

Thurston gets delightfully dirty. Note the goatee of dirt

Morning on "our" river. Or is it evening? I slept through the middle of the day, so this could be either half.

The essence of Camp Swank

More to come...

And some more:

Capt Jack "The Taquito Kid" takes another bite

Mmm... campfire (it was freakishly cold that night, even for camping), and a dutch oven full of Susan's hand-rolled taquitos

Without the flash, it was actually this dark

Okay, actually, this is about right

Squirrel!

Just one part of the "Estate du Swank"

One thing I tried on this trip was to focus a bit more on portraits (I usually photograph landscapes almost exclusively). So here's Kevy.

So, Zumwalt Meadows?

Pretty! (Can't help it, I love landscapes)

Avant Garde waterfall worship

Spider Ken, Spider Ken, does whatever a Spider Ken does...

Morrigoon · 06-10-2008, 12:04 PM

More pics

Gemini Cricket in repose

There's like, rocks and stuff

Capt Jack takes a picture of swankers on the bridge

Morrigoon · 06-10-2008, 12:05 PM

And the last of my accidentally-posted-to-the-Sooo...-thread-pics:

I'm Sammy the Snake and I sing about the letter Ssssssssss.... oh yessss...

I'll post more later. Hopefully in the right thread

Following the leader, the leader, the leader...

"The Old Couple"... they were cute, and they did eventually make it back

NA re-enacts the early days of the Sierra Club on Muir's Pulpit

I just LOVE this picture

I thought you were practicing your "pee in the woods" stance.
