Dang and a half! Oops, I tried to quote a bit out of what you said, Bill, and messed it all up. Not sure how to quote from text.
Anyway, you said "There are a lot of places in the Ozarks for people to go blow off steam". Sounds like you must have been in the vicinity of me and my 5 siblings! I've been outed: although I am a very peaceful, quiet, sober, considerate camper in my normal life, I must admit that when me and the sibs get together once every year or two for our family camping trips, well... `it's kind of embarrassing what a lot of love and alcohol will do. Eeek! Probably my last experience in Joshua Tree was just karma biting me on the butt.
