HM Twenty Ten

It's the time of year again when we have to start thinking about dates for next year's trip to West Virginia. Rob suggested the weekend of May 1st. Anytime works for me at this point.

Let me know what works and what definitely doesn't work for you as soon as possible, so I can let Tina know.

Thanks

Flying Hellfish cookout

Here are a couple pictures of the gang that gathered for the cookout.

Wingnut

During a break, Todd stopped to fish and caught the rarest of the rare, the landlocked mountain bluefish.

Day 1 - Bear Wallow

Grubby getting reaquainted with an old friend.
Rob coming down the bend.

Hans airing out his 450r.

Andy showing his contempt for the coal hill.

Rough Start

This is one of the three roads into Gilbert. The other two are only one lane (or less) at some point or another.
The other half of this mobile home is on the other side of the street.
A couple feet of mud doesn't do a lot for business at the local pharmacy.
Thankfully we have electricity. But no water. A 9:00 pm curfew is in effect for the town. Not the best start for the trip.

A couple years ago we were here during a once in a lifetime tornado. This year a flood. Next year? Locusts? Frogs?

Changes to the Counter

The changes I had previously made to the counter have been modified to only take effect when we are one day away. During the process of fixing a bug that Big A pointed out to me, the counter caused me a splitting headache, and I can't stomach the thought of seeing it for three days straight.

Disclaimer: changing the counter has nothing to do with sympathy towards others and how the counter might affect their brains, it is simply a matter of self preservation. Nothing more, nothing less.
