(nklr) mothballs

[transalp 1]

PS: I'd rewired a standard set of Christmas lights and strung them on the Transalp.

The officer that arrived that night first noticed the destroyed holly bush.

Him ,"I understand the berries and leaves everywhere. But, where'd all the busted Christmas lights come from?"

I told him they were on the bike and he had the oddest blank stare. "You're kidding? Geez."

~~~FYI, Kind of late getting in on this thread but tho9ught some here might be interested in the tipi I bought earlier this year for camping. It has no floor. I gotta tell ya, no floor is good. Just think, w/o a floor, you aren't concerned with dragging sand into your tent are you?=:-) Here's a pic- http://www.flickr.com/photos/26137108@N04/4475993835/ another- http://www.flickr.com/photos/26137108@N04/4476781380/ another- http://www.flickr.com/photos/26137108@N04/4476010491/ And a pic of the wood stove I use in this tipi for heat in the winter (Yes!, I camp in the winter ...I like to stay warm=:-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/26137108@N04/4477788775/ Sorry, no pics of the stove in the tipi, yet...for whatever reason, whenever I've had the stove running in the tipi, the camera wasn't around Jake Reddick Fla.
