have all the parts, just need to assemble them.

That will be the addition of a lazy susan to the center of the 24" burn ring and rerouting of the propane hose to 2 equally spaced refillable disposable (I did that myself) 16.4 oz propane cylinders. yup a self contained fire pinwheel. this is gonna look sweet!

Yikes......I can already imagine the headlines......followed by "fun was had by all" and "Airstreams banned from future campouts at Jackson Rancheria!"

This is a TRADITION with us NorCal Ralliers! However,it always seem to involve Doorgunner. Does anyone recall the infamous Potato Gun Launcher at the first Lake San Antonio Rally which started the all mayhem and ended up with squad cars (after midnight) from Paso Robles? You'll have to come and hear about the other narrow escapes, including the Casini Ranch shakedown by the park sheriff, where again, Doorgunner was front and center stage.

Don't be afraid.....

Don't be afraid.....

The last NorCal rally I was on was Pismo Coast Village.....before Doorgunner's arrival.....coincidence?

No fear.....BigDee and I are already planning an August cara-rally to Lavabeds!

This was the NEW sign that greeted, Tim, at the entry to Lake San Antonio last October. What's the new sign for next year at Jackson Rancheria.

WEEEELL...it's Saturday night at 10:30. I peeked outside and everything seems ok. NO, WAIT! Wasn't the moon full last night!? There is only 1/2 up there now......

Kidding aside, DG's creations are fun and whimsical.......and as far as I know have all worked! Go get em Tim. We'll bring the marshmellows.

That space next to the 'Nonpotable Water' Fire Hydrant is looking better all the time!

I wonder if DG's 'signal' fire will be viewable from Thunder Valley, Cache Creek, or the Black Oak Casinos...maybe we should bone up on our smoke signal translations...

[doorgunner]

And I bring you fire, I'll teach you to burn!!

Things are definately looking up! Now I just need to add a limiting valve to control this creation.
The 11" w.c. regulator was tame, I had to step up to a 28" w.c. unit-mo betta.

...guess we know what DG is bringing to the potluck....

wow that's one massive looking fire pit! i can't tell if its rotating a la lazy susan or not?

[Mexray]

We be a going to Jackson in October
A bunch of 'Streamers' shiny and sober
Parked like pipes laid out in a leach field
Then the oddies will flow as our glasses are chilled
And we'll party till we all fall over!

[doorgunner]
