Jordon and Joe putting together a cluster of fire. Keep watching! |
 |
The future roommates posing with their fun toys before placing in the mortars. |
 |
Rich thinking he is SOOOOO funny by pretending to light the 12''. |
 |
Pete, the photographer, cuddling with "Big Boom" |
 |
The cluster takes shape. This was quite a production of boards and nails... and .... precision engineering. |
 |
Here they are. OK guys, try not to put your faces over the mortars. Thanks.
It turned out to be two really cool shots of fire! |
 |
Here we go again! |
 |
The line. Bet you turned your head! |
 |
Bet you did it again! |
 |
THIS TIME the only thing that is electronic is the finale' and the big shells. NOT going to risk it on the 4th! |
 |
Jordon and Rich working to put a rope up to hold a fan. It was really hot. Next year we are bringing the air conditioner if we are at GC again. |
 |
The tent is strong enough! Quik Kamp ROCKS!
|
 |
There we go with the fan! |
 |
Jordon prepping the harness for the 8'' going over the side. |
 |
Autumn taking a break from watching all of the wildlife. |
 |
We took off and swam for a bit since we had everything done and when we came back, Dale was there to meet us. He said he had been trying to get a hold of us since there was a severe thunderstorm warning for the next few hours. |
 |
Sure enough, we looked up and could see the fun coming! |
 |
Here is where we KNEW rain was coming. AND it was coming fast! |
 |
We watched the wall of water as it came across the lake surface. |
 |
Autumn looking on. |
 |
We foiled just in time. |
 |
Here it comes! |
 |
YIKES! Lightning and thunder and HAIL! Guys and gals STAY IN THE TRUCK! |
 |
They didn't listen. BUT did a great job with the foil. EXCEPT we didn't tuck in the fuses and ended up short fusing them to get them to fire. OOOOPS! |
 |
The group crowed around the shell we are going to lower. Wrapped up and protected! |
 |
Down it goes. |
 |
Even further... everyone always thinks that something went wrong even though it is a planned event. It is really funny! |
