Mark turned out to be quite a colorful addition ot the group.

First he ran out of gas short of the top of Santa Rosa hill. There was plenty of talk of leaving him behind and rescuing his girlfriend and the beef steaks he brought.



While filling up with gas he bonded with nature. Actually nature bonded with him - a handful of nice army ants managed to extract revenge upon him.

Later around the "campfire" (a lantern) a MASSIVE BLOOD THIRST RARE VAMPIRE JUNE BUG flew out of the darkness and nearly had Mark. A quick application of DDT, DEET, Raid, and Off! fended off the attack.
