Part 1

Oh shit! Soon after leaving the LA sprawl, Mach Looney realizes that he forgot his ski pants. In the meantime, Rhea is really stoked about her maggot sticker

A warm welcome awaits at Fort FKNA

On Saturday, Team Crack of Noon sets out for Tioga Pass
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569410_rMt78-L.jpg

First, some breakfast...
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569447_zpKxX-L.jpg

...then some slogging, which brings us here
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569558_Ehhqn-L.jpg

Mach Looney is ready to go while Mach Looney and the rest of Team Crack of Noon are still lounging on the right. What? 2 Mach Looneys? Hmm, maybe shouldn't have had such a big breakfast
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569642_9n9Pe-O.jpg

On the way down, ShralphMacchio gets the most out of his two trips uphill (one for each half of his splitboard)
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569730_eE3qz-L.jpg

...followed by ~V~. I must be hungry, I'm having Toucan Sam hallucinations
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569773_dyHMp-L.jpg

Mach Looney's hat is not aerodynamic or Toucan-shaped like ~V~'s, so it falls off at moderate speeds, such as Mach-traversing-across-the-fall-line
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569810_onPLb-L.jpg

RenoEnvy (?) did not have an Epic Fail on the way up and is not dressed funny, so I have nothing witty to say about his descent
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569850_opVqJ-L.jpg

Back at Base Camp, the crew stares at me. WTF?
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294569928_2xTRi-L.jpg

Rhea's falling down laughing -- is there something you guys aren't telling me?
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570005_C3mkH-L.jpg

This next segment brought you by
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570198_WG7L3-L.jpg

~V~ is stoked about her bacon vodka bloody mary.
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570244_wZwsK-L.jpg

Mach Looney is stoked about his sweet new ski jacket
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570148_ETzMS-L.jpg

Rhea is just smirking...
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570299_dtE4o-L.jpg

...because she knows that ShralphMacchio doesn't know that he has sunscreen smeared on his face
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294570340_TAcwb-L.jpg

Alright, time to head back. This place is purty, they should make it a National Park or something
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/29...9_5PSGm-X2.jpg

...some hot springs and a lost pair of sunglasses later, one more travel pic for good measure

Sunday

Rhea strikes a Captain Powder pose, not knowing that she's got the color scheme completely wrong
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593226_dYhcF-L.jpg

While Mach Cheney tries to figger out how them darn skiin' boots work
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593310_CjoJV-L.jpg

Maggot Beach POV. Life is good
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593470_rbEqc-L.jpg

Even Maggoptimus Prime is stoked
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593552_UMNpw-L.jpg

Wait, no, he's angry. What he means to say was that HE WILL FUCK YOUR MOTHER AND EAT YOUR CHILDREN!!!!
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593384_ZTDYQ-L.jpg

Yes, YOUR mother. And YOUR children
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294592951_SnDKP-L.jpg

Maggot beach, part 2: ~V~, Steven S. Dallas, Ms. Dallas, Elle Be, and Mach Looney
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/29...6_Fpeut-X2.jpg

Mach Looney skis in jeans and a starter jacket
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593434_vJZU2-L.jpg

Mach Looney also does a bunch of other cool shit that SchralphMacchio should stop stalling and post about.

Bunch of clowns at the top. From R to L: Gebster, Ms squirrelmurphy (wandering not lost ???), ???, hutash, BigKuba, ~V~, Rhea, some clown I don't recognize, Maggoptimus_McPoser, Mach Looney, ShralphMacchio, and squirrelmurphy (happy birthday, mang)

Team Pure Radness ready to Shralp The Gnar
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593126_tjeAB-L.jpg

P_McPoser, looking benevolent, points to his planned way down
http://bigkuba.smugmug.com/photos/294593081_XrNSb-L.jpg

The Gnar = Shralped. It was THIS rad

She's not a cougar, she's a MILF who likes to have an old lion work his magic on her...uh...ample assets. And, BTW, if I don't see her this weekend, she's planning to drive to the coast to visit me.

I am happy to say the operation was a success. Now, the question is, how do I bill this?

Good times, thanks to all who made this a great mini. I never found my camera, so nothing to post, but am reliving the weekend vicariously through others pics. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks...maggots rule, and "the Dude" drools.:yourock::yourock::yourock:

Actually, it was kind of a collaborative effort. That camera is such a POS, I have to spend several minutes on each photo with Photoshop to re-dial the levels and contrast, re-crop, re-size, re-sharpen, etc. to get the image decent.

Not that I'm a non-PS-JONG - I only know 4% of what that software can do, but every little bit helps.

Here's the original for comparison.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/...00dc8547_b.jpg

Some of the other ones are a stark difference from the original. I need to take a class though, my friend uses that stuff professionally, and he's "recovered" some amazing photos ...

You totally get credit for most of the shots, but yeah, sorting through all the photos and getting em to look sweet is a time sink for sure. I enjoy it though, it's all about the STOKE!

things i hoped were learned at camp fkna:

1. hot rocks, towels and sleeping bags do not mix

I precede ~90% of the comparisons I make with an "almost" for precisely this reason.
