Subject:      yesterday's papers...

The Big Sur campout was fabulous and it was wonderful to meet everyone in person. Next time I'll have my pickup truck and I really WILL have to sleep in a tent! We *feasted*, and Jeff taught a bunch of us how to play Hacky Sack, which I got really into. I was really sorry I had to go home early. But its better to have gone and left early than to have never gone at all.

Everyone's Vanagon, Bus or Transporter looked cool. I particularly liked the psychedelic effect of Tobin and Krista's yellow breadloaf with the deep-green interior pannels. SOMEBODY inhaled something back at the color studios...

Ok, time to fess-up: When I got home, I went to shoot the last frames and take my film down to be processed, and guess what? NO FILM IN MY CAMERA!! OH NO :-(((((((((((((( I don't think I've ever done that before, and boy do I feel foolish! So I'll just have to wait for Krista and Tobin's roll to be developed. And I'll check better next time. Sheesh. I HAD a roll in my bag, but apparently wound and shot a few 'blanks' after I closed the body last time I took film out, so when I picked it up, it was on frame "3" and I thought, "Oh, there must be another roll in it..."

I vote for March 17-19 for the next camp-out because I'm already booked on a flight to Phoenix for the air races and the Blue Angels on the weekend of the 24th-26th. So naturally I'd do better with a closer to Bay Area site than a further away one.
