fart city #3

the pipa grande experiment

 

usually when you see one of these, it's an indicator

the recon started on swim day. plans to penetrate for the next morning

morning recon crew

21 of us waiting in a well hidden ditch to move out in 3 man teams

my three man team was last to penetrate

Hank and the Otter get under the fence & down the ladder that Mission Specialist brought

helping with boards

almost ready to make the journey into the abyss

this was steeper than we expected and couldn't see the guys, but we could hear them

5 minutes of hiking the pipe, we found them in the light of the elbow

approaching 2 o'clock - I think this is Danny

hard to beat this level of adventure

prepping for the group photo

looking out the top of the elbow

can you see the excitement on Danny's face>?

faces blurred to protect the guilty - p:wilkins

I love the look on Kevin's face here

hiking out

Clark rode the coffin down the steeps - twice

mission accomplished.

all men in. no injuries. no authorities. all men out

and this was a wrap for my time with the fart city expedition.

super grateful to have run into them & then join them

a very welcoming & fun bunch

p: either Josh or Aaron

fart city #2

up & on the road @5am, soaking @ Cottonwood by 7am

6 different pools to choose from

this is where I soaked my achy bones

Leadville is the oasis. right up my alley. lines for days & nothing over 8 feet

check Hank out on the rail.... I say Hank gets mvp

Tyler front feebs with Kevin Wilkins documenting

it's a rental, but they still built it out to suit life on the road

one of Aaron's many nicknames is OTTER - he took right to the water

Hank drying off after a quick splash down

part bath, part cool down

my new trunks

with shorts still soggy, Hank decided he was going to grind the rail

one good tumble was involved

after 5050ing it, he nailed a 5-0

motivated with watermelon

Pat Boyles slips over the spine

Wilkins ollies right over the spine

Greg up & over the bell and through the corner !

Jeff Chase followed Hank's line for the mega Euro gap

Kevin battled the A frame & won.

Danny - dusk bsts under the dark wave

baconomics #4

gin rummy on Fuzz's floor before packing up for the Springs

always gets a giggle from the out of towners

Alan Young blunt fakie for a slice of watermelon - nailed it

our host for the night - Chris Patton - feeb fakie

Klich on the deck - social media time

Little Chris bsa

best guess is the peak on the left is Pike's Peak

local shredder Tony Marly tippy toes bsts while Kadan & Tim observe

Alan - Lien air

Tony - Lien air

Kansas buddy Kelly Korte pops an ollie

this poor gal was having a tough time with the double wrap concept

next morning I was up and on the road at 5am to link up with Fart City again....
