Some of the original events included 40wt Stout, daylight at midnight
at Panamint springs, (magnalloy), the magical fiddling of Nate Rubin,
Flannel, Big Sur, and the mysterious keys to the kingdom.

As we wandered up to Darwin Falls in Death Valley National Monument we
passed one of those water survey 'out houses'.  I asked Bradley what
he thought was inside, he said I'll show you, fetched out a key,
opened the lock...All the keys are the same and Bradley had worked for
USGS.

The Pinnacle of kerfluffle happened at Pinnacles National Monument,
Joe Earnest, I mentioned before and kids and wife were there, Martha
was there, Coyote was there, I was there, Jeff Schneider and his dawg,
Rusty van Bondo, and a host of others watched while some nasty bits
regarding burning a plastic cup polarized the group and led to it's
eventual retirement.

The spirit lives on in the great north wet.  BusGirl is still teaching
music in Moraga,
Nathan Rubin  http://www.sfcv.org/arts_revs/rubintribute_10_18_05.php
is fiddling around up there somewhere.  And the cane rattler still
cooks chili.
