no kidding... I took pics of the campground empty after they expanded it, that's about all the non-incriminating photos I have other than some blurry and piss-poor pics of fire-twirlers I took with my phone. I do have a short video clip (http://ciarraide.org/temp/pics/TRF08/trf08_firebreathers.3g2) of fire breathers, though :D

Oh come on! There's gotta be some clean pictures out there.....somewhere?

I've searched youtube and only came up with this. All I see are the flames spinning.

I have some videos of the bonfire on my site:

Go to the TRF section and there are 2-3 vids of it
I haven't reposted my pictures yet since I remade my site... Probably should get on that at some point

*would rather be drinking the rum than reposting all that*

Thanks O'Kilted One...looks like primarily tent camping. Am I to be the lone wimp who drags an air-conditioned trailer there?

Here's our campsite and some of the general area.  Hope the pics don't turn out huge.  I still can't figure out how to control that when I post 'em!)

I have some- these were from when we rented a pop up for Thanksgiving (that super awful rainy cold one) but we usually use a tent... so glad we had a pop up for that one, though!!

What's with all the crime scene tape?  ???

Post by: bellevivre on September 03, 2009, 11:27:09 AM
that's how people mark thier group sites- we were expecting a LOT more people to be camping with us that weekend- most chickened out due to the bad weather...

Just a reminder that 'taping off' borders is no longer allowed as of last year.  What we do now is put down stakes and use the tape like ribbons/streamers.   :)

This is our camp, Mystic Trinity, from 2006, 2007, and 2008.  We just keep adding and improving.  Pretty soon it'll be a two-story!:

Breandan, you beat me too it!! I was gonna post a picture of the last shoppe I slept in, lol (which happens to be just across and a bit down the lane from you- i remember watching the hot sweaty blacksmiths all day while I was working, hehe). Those were the days... was it Rocky Horror we watched in there a couple years back? Maybe star wars? I remember drunken movie watching and some minor debauchery, and trying to fall through the door at Greenman Games after, but I sure as heck can't remember which movie it was we were watchin... oh, but that's another thread entirely... <giggle>

Camp though.. hrmm...don't think i have any photos of camp :(

Our campers are all tent campers.  We tend to put distance between ourselves and the axeled campers and we completely despise generators.  I firmly believe they take away from the ambiance of Faire camping.  However, to CMA, I do understand that there are those who require AC power for health reasons (ie breathing machines), my daughter is one, and we use a power inverter to power her breathing machine long enough for her to do her treatment.

My clan appreciates and respects those who find ways to silence their modern power providers.  We despise those who roll in Saturday and set up a generator right next to someones tent.  Thats just plain inconsiderate and such people tend to lose the keys to their generators until they magically appear again on Sunday.

Hi Stracc!

To post a pic/image you need to host the photos on a site like flickr, photo bucket etc.

When you are ready to put an image on here, select the button at the bottom row of the post reply window that has a photo icon.  (The row is right above the smileys.  When you hover your mouse over the button it will say 'insert image'.)

Once you select that button, info in brackets will appear in the text area of the reply and the cursor will appear in the center.  Simply copy from the host site and paste in the cursor section and it should appear as a bunch of text/code.
Select preview to see if the image appears and then post.

;D

Here's our camp:

(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i107/jchandler44/2007renfest02.jpg)

We've been camping a few rows down from the bonfire, directly catty-corner from the convenience store.  We might move this year, not sure yet.
