This old thing needs a bump.Mark, Mouse, John, Jeff. Brother Sebastian, sit, stay. Taken by Millis. Sebastian was Mark's GS.
Woof.

NOT Ansel's best work but accurate. It's suffered, this copy. But it's survived like you lucky punks who knew these icons.

Ned's real and so are his boots. Get Ned's moonboots, today!
Ha ha, I had almost forgotten the graffiti in the Camp 4 restrooms regarding Moonboots Ned. Probably around '78-'79.

Ah, Slings..... always came by Oakhurst and would "throw in" for dinner at my house. Usually a single tortilla and a cube of cheese. Sometimes in Fish Camp at my parents for dinner.
I gave him clothes frequently.
Last time I saw him was mid-80's slumped in a doorway on Telegraph Ave, Berkeley.
I assume he is dead, does anyone know?

That's a sad note Andrea.
First thread I've read cover to cover in quite some time.
Good job Throwpie.

Love the photo of YC and TM. When I arrived in Camp 4 in the spring of 1969 or 70 TM took me under his wing. The next thing I knew I was following Sacher Cracker with stiff, bulky Robbins Blue Boots.....they worked great in the upper wide section but the lower thin part was quite a struggle.

In the time-space continuum discussion it should be noted that
The last umpire in the big leagues to wear an outside protector was Jerry Neudecker. He retired after the 1985 season.

For heaven's sake, I hope somebody's archiving this stuff off-site in case of a ST apocalypse/meltdown. Once gathered, it's WAY too good to lose.

Yes, it was a dark and a stormy night and a cold and snowy day; so filling up the time with scanning old photographs and cleaning them up somewhat in photoshop.

Camp 6 was a camp for the employees of the park service. I cannot remember exactly where it was...
