FAWKING MIND BOGGLING - HitR 2016 (1 Viewer)

You can see that this isn't this log's first rodeo and it isn't going down without a fight.

Steve1 has his doubts as well, and is already hatching a plan to let the logs burn themselves out with a back up plan to roll them into the water in the morning if they are still burning.

The mind boggled state is becoming our new reality and @beno doesnt even give a "yeah bro" any more. He's moved on to "whatever dude" and will need more to be further impressed at this point.

 

[FJ60Cam]

For me, this point came in the form of a Jalapeño popper.

And then taken to new heights again with the Tuesday Tacos.

The island commune's fire is in full bloom and ours is just getting started. Note that the chopped off end has not been thrown on yet. It will soon flash-ignite on the ground.

Seriously. I wondered if I was doing it wrong. Check out the exuberance the night before. I mean, who can't smile with the roar of a tiny super fuel pocket turbine igniting another epic bonfire

But I get it. After raising the bar a couple times a day for a few days on end one begins to wonder if it really can get any better

All I know is it certainly had made life back home BORING.

I think Paul was actually wheeling his food truck and left his wheeling rig at home. Every time we turned around, he was pulling out a new kind of beer, kitchen equipment, charcuterie, tortilla chip or his coffee bar.

Seriously, tonight he pulls out an entire commercial kitchen, including a full-on range and infrared Magma grill.

Pablo's Mobile Taqueria is in full effect.

 

[FJ60Cam]

...and you thought I was kidding...

You can't say I didn't warn you back on page 3:

I would like to add that Pablo does not f@#% around. He has enough beer in his truck to fully stock a BevMo!, he has a full California King sized mattress strapped to his roof, and enough charcuterie (whatever that is, but we will soon find out) to put an entire army in a charcuterie-induced coma.

Pablo is the definition of "Overland" Prepared.

Dude!! Where did he get that orange shirt? I must have one! lol

 

[FJ60Cam]

Dude!! Where did he get that orange shirt? I must have one! lol

I know a dude that sings the songs and prints the shirts if you need one

While Paul is grilling chicken & steak (and maybe slaughtering a live goat?), Jason is on the other table, popping peppers like a mutha fawka...

Let's zoom in, shall we? You are looking at locally sourced, ethically harvested jalapeños, stuffed with delicately yet expertly smoked Gouda, and wrapped with a layer of tasty swine flesh.

...and I may or may have been sweating Paul & Jason this whole time, claiming to be running security in case the commune decided to invade the peninsula. Really I just wanted some of this epic food.

I like the nipple vents on your shirt.

 

[FJ60Cam]

That shirt could stand up on its own and walk around at this point. I wore it 24/7. It was the only thing preventing my skin from looking like a popped pepper.

Which were triple-rainBRO amazing, btw.

 

[PabloVTA]

well, I did see one sign...

 

[FJ60Cam]

Speaking of the tacos...

This is as good of a pic as you're going to get because they disappeared instantly.

 

[jfz80]

And that was just round one...
Ah to be one of the select few to be marooned in the desert for weeks and gain 10 lbs.

 

[FJ60Cam]

And that was just round one...

I believe we stopped after the steak, but I'm pretty sure Pablo would have kept pulling out other species until we cried uncle.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Meanwhile, the sand on the beach was MELTING

[FJ60Cam]

After the poppers & tacos and after we throw the auto-ignited lumberjacked log on the fire, @beno finally tosses out a "yeah bro".

The houseboaters, feeling the sudden increase in heat & light coming their direction, turn down their music and abandon their campfire in embarrassment.

 

[FJ60Cam]

Note that the Taco truck has packed up and moved further
from the heat zone and that the ring of camp chairs is at least 30' away
