Camp Runamok
BaconFest 2004
***September 3-6, 2004***
What has become a continuing yearly tradition, Baconfest happened at Runamok on the Labour Day long weekend in 2004.
I arrived after dark on Friday. |

Sooner or later, though, morning had to happen... |
 |
More on this Contraption later.
An empty ring of chairs around the campfire |

| Mom wakes up first
Then Papa drags himself out of the tent |
 |
 |
 |
I get to hold the baby for a bit.
Then a hand-off to papa, who is a little more awake now. |

Someone's trying to catch their supper.
Ahh, the first victim--I mean user--of the contraption this day. |
| Setting up the bar-b-que pit. |
 |
Here we have the first set of pics of people using The Contraption.
Basically it's a glorified swing--you swing the platform back and forth, gaining height and momentum, then, when your nerves are ready, you leap off the end.
This is what we call fun at Camp Runamok. |
| Of course, the other standard way of creating injuries and trips to the hospital at Runamok is the 'Dock Wrestling'. |

Shooting the catapult
Having fun. |
| Sometimes it's nice to have a leisurly swim across the river
Then again, sometimes it's great to get a tank on your back and go for a dive. |

| More Contraption use. |
