Re: [OM] [OT] Earth Day

Were were we...

Last time I told you that am going to celebrate Earth Day by the campfire.  Now 
I have pictures to prove it...:)

The weather was bad, but who cares...we knew that it was going to rain, still 
had more fun than the people on the other end of the campground.  They came 
with a camper which was old and small.  BTW, this is the first time I see 
someone with a camper there.  We always pick places that dont have "camper 
connectors"...:)

But thoz peeps thought they were prepared...they had a generator...:)  It was 
so loud, they had to yell off the top of their lungs to hear each other.  We 
went for a hike and three hours later when we passed by, it was still running, 
but no one looked happy.  Soon after that they turned it off and that was the 
end of the story...:)

We had a problem of different nature tho...we realized that it was time to say 
good bye to a good friend.  Here:

No, not Jeepie...I know that some of you would love to see it in the crusher.  
Talking about the little yellow and blue friend in the distance.  We bought it 
in 1995 and it has been a very good friend, but the front gate zipper broke and 
also it leaked this time.

So we need a replacement and a proper burial...:)  My first thought was to burn 
it symbolically in the campfire, but then was concerned about all these 
pollutants that it was going to release.  Then I thought about burying it 
somewhere in a special place...like a campsite.  Then, I got tired of thinking 
and decided to take a poll.  

So...This is the poll.  Gimme your best ideas.  What do I do with something 
that isnt an inanimate object?

Back to pictures...We discovered the biggest Lincoln Continental graveyard.  
Look at the red car.  It is at least 25m/70ft behind my Jeep and it still looks 
humongous.

This is what we saw at first:

But wait...there is more in the back, a lot more:

Some of them were covered in moss:

Here is a close up:

But the jewel of the crown was that hideous looking thing from the ugliest 
decade ever.  Yes, I am talking about the 70's, look at the gawdy color:

Alex was fascinated by it, because it had a CB radio and a police light alike 
with a magnet on the bottom.

Up until that moment he had never seen such a monster of a car:

After reading in our car for almost an hour, Christa came and joined us.  She 
too thought that the car is hilarious:

I had just a few moments for creativity.  This is one of the shots I am going 
to be working on:

There is more in this folder:

I will upload more to it soon...

This is it.  This is how we spent Earth Day.  We were wet, but happy.

Best

Boris
