Salem 2008

Another great time with our Airstream family camping at Winter Island in Salem, MA.

Some of us had a better time than others but all want to do it again next year. We had all sorts of fun and a really good time just being together.


We also had all kinds of weather! Thursday night we had temps down to 22F, we had sunny days in the low 70's, cloudy days, very heavy rain and winds up to 60 MPH as noted above. We lost both of our EZE UPS in the storm. I took most of the best parts home and maybe able to rebuild one.


Kevin, Donal and Sandi enjoying the sunny day at camp on Friday.


Friday night we had a pumpkin carving contest. This was my attempt which did not win.



One of the really great things about Salem is that the town is truely haunted. Several times Kevin has captured auras in this cemetary. I set up one of the Nikon's with special ghost night vision in which you can actually see the energy of the cemetary. The National Enquirer has offered me tons of money for this shot. I am holding out for more.



For those of you who haven't seen us in our October State, here Sandi and I are in town.



Here it is the winning pumpkin with original special effects carved by our friend Nancy. She did an awesome job and really spent a very long time doing it. I think I burned my steaks waiting for her to finish! But with the fog it was worth it.



OK, so we over did it a bit. Actually it was Don who was out of control. Here is one of his three entries, the flaming horned stick your tongue out pumpkin. It was really very cool and burned for over 45 minutes!
