The battery in my camera died yesterday so I couldn't provide any proof that Burning Porc had actually started.
We had a bit of weather in the afternoon right after we erected Lloyd's tent and it wanted to be a kite, winding up in a ball of tubing in the firepit. Fortunately it was too wet to have the fire going.
The next morning after some judicious bending it stands proudly once again.
Various Burning Porcupines stand ready to be heated up.
New this year -- the showers have gone solar.
The Lazy Goat food trailer arrived, but won't be set up until tomorrow morning.
Campers are beginning to set up tents in the west field.
Gathering in the shade we have a state rep, a former state rep, two Ohioans, a new mover to Nashua, a mad Russian, a LongIslander, and several Graftonians (Graftonites?)
Missing from the pic are several folks out looking for real estate.
*sniff* Lloyds tent still lives.
This year's t-shirt design. Thanks Lindsay.

Better than the one you had me update. :)
I bet the organizers don't even charge $30 for a day pass to go to Burning Porc. ;)
Or does Burning Porc have "disorganizers"?
The standard guarantee for Burning Porc is: if you don't enjoy yourself you get double your money back. ;D
Cute T-shirt :)

We're pretty disorganized, that's true.
We do have a deregistration area too.
From 2008:
;D
Am I the only Porc in town with a camera?
The picher guy was sick for a couple days, so no Burning Porcupine pictures those days.
Here's the Thursday fire:
The last picture reminds me of Lloyd's NFD.
Lazy Goat Cafe. at Burning Porcupine 2013.
On the way to Burning Porcupine we came upon a moose on the Kinsman Highway.
He didn't let us get very close. I need a telephoto lens.
Wow the Kinsman looks all graded up nice for the summer,some of the
Roads down here don't look that good.
cool :)
the current plan for us: taking a load to Buffalo, delivering on the 5th in the a.m. then we
will take something to get us closer to NH. should show up on 6trh or 7th. probably BP over, but we'll visit w/ whoever is around.
The picher guy misplaced his camera, so Friday's Burning Porc pictures are supplied by JerrysWife.
Which explains the better composition, lighting, focus, etc.
1. Pastor John and santa claus.
2. setting up the Lazy Goat
3-4 Alight rain kept folks under cover
Chickens.
Because they were there.
The rain abated for a while.
The camera did not cooperate in low light, and the fire was started late, so no pictures of an _actual_ Burning Porcupine.
More to come on Saturday.

Let us know and we'll try to round up (...err, herd cats) to form a welcome back bonfire committee.
Looks like we will deliver in MA on the 6th.
From there we either rent a car and rent crash space in the Shire
Or we bring the rig up to Grafton thus having an RV like other folks. :-)
It is 100 every day in Texas I gotsto get me some jacket weather. :-)

Commission a feasibility study committee, perhaps a decision can be made by the end of the next fiscal year!
Saturday was the driest day of Burning Porcupine. Only one five minute shower and a few rounds of sprinkles. We decide to forego the ark building class.
Kids at Burning Porc:
The wood was still a bit damp because nobody listened to the fire chief when he said "you'd better put a tarp over that pile of wood." so Jeremey had to use some petrochemicals to get it going.
With several folks feeding the porcupine it was soon blazing.
In honor of Lloyd the fire chief ignites a UN flag.
Lloyd put in an appearance, if only on a t-shirt.
The pyromaniacs prevailed to the point that everyone had to move back to prevent melting from the heat.

Should've demanded to see his fire permit, then doused his flag with foam.
You can't have a rainbow without rain, thanks New Hampshire!
So is anyone still there?
Yup.. ;D
They should be joining us at Peaceful Assembly Church 2day.
White river junction ......
