On May 20, 2005, some friends and I headed down to Fremont County, Colorado for a three-day camping weekend.

Caravanning down US-285 away from Denver.
|
|
May 20, 2005 10:42:57
|
Alex's wheel started smoking, so we helped him unload some bricks.
|
|
May 20, 2005 10:48:27
|
Dave Poland's vehicle is the new carrier of bricks.
|
|

|
Whoever lives here has a cool house.
|
|
May 20, 2005 13:28:33
|
Those of us without 4-wheel-drive vehicles and off-roading
tires park our cars here, about 2 miles (?) from Alex's land.
|
|
May 20, 2005 13:54:59
|
We arrive!
|
|
May 20, 2005 13:55:38
|
Bryan and Lisa survey the patio area near Alex's camper.
|
|
May 20, 2005 13:58:53
|
Everyone has to check out the huge tire swing that swings
out over the ravine.

This bottle of sparkling water was accidentally punchered,
rendering it unsuitable for the construction of dry ice bombs.
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:45:17
|
Fortunately, Dave Poland finds another bottle and breaks out
the dry ice supply.
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:45:29
|
Dave carefully loads the bottle with dry ice.
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:47:20
|
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:48:49
|
The dry ice is loaded.
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:49:18
|
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:50:11
|
Now it's time to pour the water...

|
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:50:40
|
|
|
May 20, 2005 15:54:56
|
The dry ice bomb is thrown into the ravine, explodes with a
loud kaboom, and the remains of the bottle are retreived for
inspection.
|
|
May 20, 2005 16:56:43
|
Here's me with my tent.
|
|
May 20, 2005 17:22:21
|
We use this 6-wheel-drive behemoth to haul some supplies around.
|
|
May 20, 2005 17:40:06
|
Fire!
|
|
May 20, 2005 17:53:01

|
Lisa breaks out the bow and arrows to attempt to detonate
a malfunctioning dry ice bomb.
|
|
May 20, 2005 20:26:46
|
We examine the remains of another dry ice bomb.
|
|
May 20, 2005 20:26:57
|
This bottle bravely sacrificed itself in the name of science.
|
|
May 20, 2005 20:35:18
|
More fire.

sense of taste.

Time to hike up the mountain!
