The Iron Claw Mountains
Neurosurgeons scream for more...
Last week, Wednesday thru Friday, I went to the Iron Claw Mountains with the people from Perky Pam's Place for a camp-out. Trish had to stay home to work, but managed well without me--I feared that she'd lose her keys as she's almost walked out of the house without them a couple times, but I had nothing to worry about. The day before we left we picked up Trish's new series of the Buffster at the vid-store & watched a few episodes. This immediately followed Susan's going away party: Susan the Secretary at Iron Claw Mental Health left Invisible City for Missoula the other day.
The next day Trish & I walked over to Iron Claw House together at 9:00, & waited around for people to show up. When the van pulled out of the parking lot Trish stayed behind, while Cheri drove us down to a spot on 2nd Lake. Besides myself there were Cathy, Colleen (the Noncorean one), Mary, Ronnie, & Wayne; Charlene & Karen Downstairs (her daughter) drove back & forth from town. the first thing that we did when we arrived was to put up the tents; Ronnie & I shared Brawny's. Then Cheri & Noncorean slung some cheerseburgers on the grill & I don't remember exactly what I did for the rest of the day, save that I read a few more chapters of LOTR & played both Ronnie & Cathy interminable games of war that went nowhere. Cathy tried to lure me into the water, but I didn't go in cuz the thought of being exposed to bacteria-infested water scared me; since my eye surgeries I have to be very careful to keep water out of my eyes. That night I went to bed early & missed out on all the yummy Smores that I shouldn't have anyway.
The next day was more of the same, save that I actually ate the Smores; Cheri & Noncorean fixed hash browns, eggs & sausage for brecchie, bratwurst for lunch, & steak (nummy!) for supper. In the morning most of the people drove up to the waterfall to wash their hair, but Mary & I stayed behind to await the impending arrival of the mighty Insect Slayer, who is also the Lady Tron. Brawny gave her a ride to the lake in his trusty Batmobile, where I have known much fear & loathing (cf. www.onewest.net/~jbauer/batmans.car). Trish stayed for a couple hours, though unfortunately when the Magic Bus returned from the waterfalls we found that Cathy had injured herself; fell down a mountain. She had a nasty scrape on her leg & a bruise on her back. After Trish left I mostly did the same-old-same-old, which certainly doesn't beat doing the Strand.
Friday we had eggs & sausage for brecchie--she who invented Karen Relationships--& then started to pack the tents; cold bratwurst for lunch. When we finally came back to Invisible City I walked my stuff the 2-3 blocks to our house. I found Trish with the a/c on watching the Buffster. However, a headache that wouldn't quit forced her to miss work that night. Being extremely hungry, I ordered out a pizza & we invited Fred over to split it with us. Then after Trish's nap, we went down in the basement to get my eyes excited to view Buffy & Anya. About 9:00 Winonah from next door rang the doorbell, which fortunately we heard: she told us some drunken bum had opened the door of our car & entered unlawfully, so we called the copz & they busted the guy. It was real comedy show.
