Honcho campout

Last Thursday we went down to the Honcho campout. It was essentially the Pittsburgh party times 10 on top of a mountain in West Virginia (e:joe,59525).

It took us about 5 hours to drive down not counting a stop at an Indian restaurant in PA called Cafe Dehli.

It was rural. Like, an hour driving up twisty single lane, half washed out mountain roads rural. Despite that the campground itself was glamping. A pool, bar, "barn". $16 buffet - I'm glad we brought our own food.

Butts and boy and fur.

The event itself was full of the friendliest furriest sweatiest gayest gays I've ever seen. Maybe it was because nobody knew each other but the judgement was almost non-existent. People danced for days. The pool was human soup. Everyone just wanted a hedonistic good time. People just came up and chatted. Cell phones were practially non-existent.

On one hand I wish (e:uchina) could have come because she would have loved it. On the otherhand a weekend of just million other gays is pretty fun. Even if we had to retreat to our mountain campsite to take a break from it sometimes. Maybe we can just sneak her in next year.

This is Bones. He lived with the owners in the house next to our site. He was the best cat I ever met.

Mudbaths in Zoar Valley

We went down to Zoar Valley this weekend.

It must have been raining down south because the creek and the hills are a mudbath. I still swam in it. It felt so good.

We attempted to go down Point Peter but the water was too high at the bottom. So it was a climb right back up.

Lookin' skeptical

Our new pet Philip

The best part of Zoar to me is the way the water flows over and fractures the shale. A mix of engineered looking edges and channels with worn and cracked stone. I could watch the water run all day.

Someone lost an arm

If you need it, it's shredded in the abandoned building on Allen.

I don't know how this building is still nothing with everything else that changes around it.

Speculators and and flippers are the worst.

Skiballs at Pocketeer

Fwendsday night bike ride took (e:terry) and I out to West Seneca. There were about 5 people on the ride

Down by the river, in a secret rail bridge spot.

And over to Pocketeer, I've heard about it but this was my first time. It was like a giant adult Putt Putt, just as run down. Pool tables, pinball machines, ski balls, and cheap beer.

(e:terry) kicked my ass at skiball. I think he won pool with Nathan too. Where was the hustle when you need it?

chomp that pole (e:terry)

On the way home half of us inhaled a pizza and purple gatorade.

Ions cures your farts

The floating chamber place on Allen has an advertisement for this foot bath. Sticking your skanky feet in this water and turning it brown cures your flatulence. Ions you know? It's science.

Also they have a pair of red glasses said to cure autism. Only $20.

To the ol' swimmin' hole

Back to the quarry, this time a large poutine and cheesesticks.

The water is warmer than ever. When the sun came out from the clouds, you could see 15 feet down. Maybe that's enough to see the otter known as (e:terry).

I still have not seen this alleged pirate ship..

Along the friendship trail we passed re-enactors at the fort. They were intensely reenacting the siege of Fort Erie.

Did you know we could have had the Canadian side? Maybe it's good, it'd probably be Lancaster right now.

(e:paul) wants to do the re-enactment the next year, preferably as a stable boy.

Getting old again

All the pictures I got of my party but I lurve you all. Now that I'm a quarter century old.

Even my sibs Mary and Daniel stopped by. And my mom, who brought a cookie cake. May have been a bit crunk by that time.

Blame the girl who pushes tequila.

I met a girl Lauren who has my exact job at Nussbaumer, 3 years after I started there.

Getting redonkulous in the backyard. Little documentation but I managed to avoid any birthday spanks.

Infringement puppet show

I didn't really infringe much besides (e:joe,60612) the shadow penii I contributed to (e:czarkasm). I was sad I missed (e:terry)'s taxbot though.

The infringement puppet show at Colonial Circle was cool. The lady who ran it made intricate puppets of a mouse, a buffalo, a frog etc, and the performance was well done.

Later we saw the fire jugglers at Days Park. There was an off-leash ferret leash who acted just like a dog. You could even snap and he'd come to you. So freaking cute.
