the Catskill shots that survived/Abandoned Turnpike bike & camp
I developed a roll of film that had been sitting in a camera on my window sill for about 4 years. I shot one frame when I first got the camera...
...then didn't pick it up again til about 3 months ago
a few weeks (months?) ago we got a crew together to hit the Catskills. hiking, swimming, skating and camping were the only orders for the weekend. I'm slowly trying to gravitate away from digital and make the switch to film but unfortunately, due to my sparse knowledge of 35mm cameras (gimme a break, Moxey's photo class was like 19 years ago), the local drug store lab fucking up 2 rolls and me blowing a 3rd roll, I wasn't left with many pics of the weekend. The skatepark, village and lighthouse snaps were lost. Here's what survived.
3 guesses who went on a rager the night before
Simon on the balcony
after swimming it was off to camp to meet up with the rest of the crew
get in where ya' fit in
Mochi was standing guard
first beach day of the year! thanks to Clay for the board hook up. Let's try it again when the water's a little nicer.
new swim spot
biking the abandoned turnpike has been on our to-do list for awhile now. as soon as a weekend came up that worked for everybody's schedule, the trigger got pulled. and as you scroll down to see the pics, lest anyone think Matt and I coordinated our outfits,
I assure you it was purely coincidental
preride shakedown at the Sidling Hill service plaza. Andy's Keens and shaka were obviously mandatory. and before I forget, big thanks to Ron for letting me borrow his bike
after bombing the long downhill (which meant uphill on the return trip) we found the starting gates no problem
no spandex on this trip, I mean I wouldn't want to look gay or anything
exploring these is one of the main reasons we came here
we ditched the bikes and walked the plank to get inside
I crossed my fingers that Andy was up to date on his tetanus shots. Lockjaw would have seriously hindered his vocal range for the trip. (Andy = sing everything)
descent to the turbines
we climbed a few flights of rusty "stairs" and got up into the ventilation tunnel on top above the road. Think of it as an above ground cave.
the road flares came in handy
kept reminding me of this commercial
looking down to the road below
If the Floyd can shoot their album cover here, so can we.
Rife planks vertically
Luna bars all around to maintain proper pH balance
westward
deciding when to turn the lights on was a fairly easy decision to make
"how's my ascot? I mean, the last thing I want to look like is an douchebag."
true or false: Andy sang Outspoken's A Light in the Dark more than once on this trip.
Brian wasted no time engaging the shades once we emerged on the other side
tunnel # 2. as you approached, you could feel the cool air coming from inside a good 30 yards away.
Rife never pedals without the Gerber in arm's reach
end of the line
Any pointers bro?
Breezewood town limits
abandoned hotel across the street. first thing we looked for was tranny in the pool...no dice
heading back east
great cap control
entering the western side of the ventilation tunnel
always a fan of signage
album cover shoot #37 of the trip
Andy and the Dickbag Joeys
the return trip seemed twice as short as on the way out. Abandoned Turnpike, done and done. Time for the uphill!
Brian and Rife's electrolytes were depleted. Time to rehydrate.
stocking up in McConnellsburg. only the essentials
5 warm spots, coming up
who packed the Pert?
Brian Eagle Scouting
standing room only in the kitchen
Matt's secret ingredient? dash of TSB (the Silver Bullet)
lesson learned. guess it's back to the hat store for me.
Andy is easily my favorite subject
any experienced camper knows the best thing to do when it comes to setting up a new tent is to just follow the directions
mandatory crew shots around the fire
"how's the ventilation in that 5x5?"
you could pretty much set your watch by Andy's lower GI for the rest of the evening
good night
good morning
worm's eye view of Brian's 5:30 wake up call
great trip
