I'm safely home, and clean...boy did I stink!
Several comments:
1) Mark's generator was a game changer for us camping folks. I talked to Kell, so I imagine I'll have one in the near future.
2) when my hydro hose busted, several of the regulars, and some irregulars, were there to supervise and help. I am truly appreciative of the club, and specifically the members who always jump in to help. Patrick, Tony, John, and Cole (and his significant other, Shawna?) were superstars. There may have been more...i just suck at remembering everyone while working to get going again. Cause is unknown, but I was tail gunner and turning right to head down a hill when the steering wheel recentered and smoke came out of the engine compartment. I shut down the jeep, got out, and saw a bunch of fluid pouring out. One of the hoses that runs from the pump to the orbital had pulled out of the compression fitting at the orbital. I was not at full lock, I haven't been doing anything extreme for the last couple of minutes before it blew, it would have been unlikely (I would go so far as to saw impossible) it was pulled out, so pressure must have done it. Being on the highway at speed would have been terrifying.
3) Tony's meat and Mark's beans were fantastic! It's what's good to eat like a king. John's chicken on Thursday night was as good as always...and it was nice to not have to worry about that meal.
4) Justin and I are best friend new...and he agrees with me on essentially everything.
5) Kevin's equipment trailer has spring assists on the ramps...I'll be looking into that for mine.
6) Green Apple Jim Beam is good, and much different than green Apple Crown.
7) The bathroom facilities at Hale have been added...totally different experience every morning than the last time I was there.
8) hale is still freaking awesome, but the wetness made it really challenging.
