Well, befitting the awards day, I've picked out two favorite pictures on this thread:

1st place in the category of 'Happy,' awarded to Rick A and his giant alpine muu muu cross dressing kind of style…thing. The emotional happiness depicted may actually derive from the combination of the Phyllis Diller glasses, droopy mustache, and the old school reservoir tip. But, enough of the analysis. It works on so many levels, Rick. I like the look. Could have been the set up for the sequel to Babel

2nd place in the category of 'Whimsy with Deepness,' awarded to Off White for his laybacking monkey on an old school bus. Sure to give ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ a good run. Do I hear the horn beeping uncontrollably in the background?

How about this guy just above, Mr museum.

He's climbing with street shoes, on gnarly ground.

Props to that man!

Ed - you're right about that old rattlesnake rope, durable beasts, weren't they? I too have moved onto the Vanagon world, there's something so sybaritic about actually having heat. Air cooled campers came in all types, here's a buddie's bug that he yarded out the passenger seat to replace it with a locker that doubled as the the bed, spent two months living in the Lodge lot in it.

And for Roger, here's a detail of that guy climbing the door post.

I liked
"the ramp, mission gorge, '76. sporting the xtra-xtra large chalk bag that watusi spruced up with the blue oyster cult's "agents of fortune" logo. I miss that chalk bag."
Very fun photo splurge. And educational too.

Hey Chris,

Great shot of Ferdinand. Gives a whole new meaning to pre-school. What is old school without ancient school.

BTW, in the Camp 4 picture, is that Kevin Worrall on the left and Phil Bircheff on the right? Who is in the middle?

Roger

Edited to get Ferdinand's name right.

Colorado representin' ... Jim Erickson follows Steve Wunsch on the FFA of Kloeberdanz, 1974. Wunsch had no gear with him when he unexpectedly pulled the roof, but managed to clip a fixed pin with the carabiner on his chalk bag to hang there while Erickson tossed up more stuff.

Hey, old enough that you have hair! Okay, not nearly as much as in all the other photos here, but hey, it was the eighties, not the seventies, after all!

Bob D,

Careful, you keep posting those old school trad pics and you are going to totally crush your detractors who think you are only a sport weenie....

Nice pics BTW.
