Some of my Camp Casey pictures

[proud2BlibKansan]

The trip down. We took this to prove that Kansas is not flat.


A roadside sight in Oklahoma.


Another scary sight in Oklahoma.


The Peace House in Crawford.


A quick stop before heading out to Camp Casey.


Camp Casey






The counter protesters across the road.

1. You don't have to tell this Eastern KS resident that KS in not flat

Great pictures!

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. I have tons more

but I can't get them uploaded to photobucket. grrr

I took 150 pictures.


But DancingBear has the best picture of all. Muse and I promised not to say a word until he posts it. It is awesome!!! :)

[IndyOp]

52. How about a hint? Can we guess?

Cindy with a crowd of DU'ers?

:shrug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

56. No not Cindy

another famous (in his own mind) person.

I can't say anything else. I promised DB I would let him post this most special picture.

3. Love the bunny ears for commander bunnypants

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. He earned them.

And don't ya love that grizzly bear behind him?

That was taken in that store on the corner with the ten commandments in front. A lot of liberals would have been too scared to go in there. But me big strong woman from Kansas. Not scared of no cardboard prez.

5. great stuff

isnt august great in tx, so nice this time of year

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Uh sure

We met a girl from California who had brought cowboy boots! Not quite the right weather for them.

[MuseRider]

6. I am so glad you have these!

My stupid camera phone must have had schmutz on the lens, there is nothing worth looking at in the entire bunch that I took. I am also glad that the smack down in the gravel did not off your camera! Good pictures.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. It was fine after I charged the batteries

and my computer works awesome on this new browser DancingBear told me about.

I must have some good Karma these days.

7. "Every Kansas farmer feeds 101 people and YOU!"

I really enjoy driving through Kansas whenever we go east. There's a lot of history out there. I've always wanted to get to Lindsborg for the Swedish Festival.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. You should go

It is pretty cool. Also, the Winfield Bluegrass festival is neat.

[Booster]

8. Gee, was everybody at the counter-protesters all out to lunch?

Great pictures and thanks for posting these.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. They were pretty loony

There was one lady there with a hand printed sign. Maybe Muse can remember what it said. But this lady was goofy. She walked around, all by herself, both in town and at the camp. She looked like a homeless lady but she didn't have the shopping cart.

Then there were the ones who drove by. They were kinda scary.

[Maddy McCall]

9. Awesome photos! Thanks for making me feel like I was there.

:hug:

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Oh Maddy!!

Were your ears buzzing? Muse and I talked about you a bunch. We wanted so much for you to be there with us.

You better watch out, girl. Now that Muse and I have this road trip thing down, we may have to head down to Mississippi.

[Maddy McCall]

32. Well, check, out this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=105

You two can at least join us for a Cyber Dinner on the Grounds. :D

And the door is always open to both of you. I hope to meet you both one day. :hug:

[LiberalinNC]

10. Thanks for sharing!

It's wonderful the support Cindy is receiving! I hope her mom recovers quickly so she can return to Crawford.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. They are saying she will be back

tomorrow.

12. Kansas is too flat

Loved the "horde" of counter protestors. Thanks for sharing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Kansas is NOT flat!!

We have posted proof.

Yep, those hordes of protesters - pisses me off that the MSM is not telling the truth about them.

[MercutioATC]

36. Oh, yes it is...(PROOF):

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. A school in Texas??

Texas is flat. I was just there. They call Kansas flat so no one notices how flat they are.

[MercutioATC]

42. You might have a point.

Overall, Texas is one flat-ass state.

[txindy]

60. Overall, maybe

But where I live it's called the Hill Country. On the rare occasions we get an ice storm, I don't dare set foot outside or I'll immediately slide down (and down and down and...) into the next zip code!

But, yep, overall Texas is very, very flat. And breezy.

[sickinohio]

55. That's funny!

[atommom]

48. Actually, it isn't, and if you're ever in the area,

there are a lot of hills to be hiked up, especially in Lawrence!

[proud2BlibKansan]

57. There's even a mountain in Lawrence

for skiing.

[B Calm]

13. The only place in Kansas that isn't flat is the Flint Hills. By chance

is the picture taken in the Flint Hills? Nice pictures of Camp Casey. I wish someone could attach a movie camera to a weather balloon and really get some good shots of Camp Casey.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Yes

just south of Emporia.

I want an aerial photo also. It was hard to capture the crosses on film. They go on forever.

[lavenderdiva]

14. those are great pictures! Thank you for posting them!

I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of the counterprotesters 'group'!!! 'ALL' of them!! :spray: Where is the huge group that the MSM keeps reporting? Heeheehee.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. The most we saw together at one time

was 4. FOUR!!

Remember that.

[lavenderdiva]

33. 4, four...

Where do the MSM get off inflating these numbers!! We need to somehow get these pictures and information out to the public, to refute the lies they are promulgating.

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. There may have been more at other times

But we never saw more than four at once.

[MelissaB]

23. Thank you so much for sharing.

:hi:

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Oh it was so awesome

I wish all of you guys could go.

[VOX]

30. Terrific pics, proud2Blib!

Cool photo of the blurry cross through the rain-spattered window.

It looks humid as all get-out there. Whew. :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. That cross is frickin huge

It is a scary sight.

[MercutioATC]

35. Actually, Kansas IS flatter than a pancake...

http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume9/v9i3/kansas.html

Great pics by the way!

:)

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. Don't you dare make this thread about Kansas

It gets enough grief these days.

[MercutioATC]

41. I was going to post it in the Kansas Forum....no?

:evilgrin:

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. We Kansans are kinda crazy

So go ahead, but wear some protective gear.

[MercutioATC]

45. My father lived in Topeka for 6 or 7 years when I was a kid...I know :)

You don't even come close to Texans, however. Those folks are friggin' nuts!

[MercutioATC]

47. An energetic group! 4 replies already!

I'm impressed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

49. Told ya

:)

[MercutioATC]

50. Yes, but they're mostly good-natured...

...except yours...

;)

:hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

37. The "Defend Freedom" (sic) van has US Gov plates.

It's a traveling advertisement, straight from the source. Aren't there laws against that or something appropriate?

Thanks for the pics, hope you had a good time!

[Cha]

46. Interesting Pictures!

Thanks~ "Defend Freedom"..they sure have that jingoistic Orwellian shit down, don't they?

[atommom]

51. Great pics! Thanks for posting them!

And, just for the record, non-Kansans, there are plenty of hills in Kansas. (With our current political climate, there's more than enough to criticize Kansas for without misrepresenting its geography.)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

53. Is this on the land that was donated by the neighbor?

I noticed the lovely shade trees and don't remember seeing trees in the pictures while Cindy was sleeping in the ditch. What a nice guy.

Love the cartoon of junior under the bed. hahahaha

Thanks for sharing!

[proud2BlibKansan]

58. no they haven't moved the camp yet

The land owner was mowing and treating the ground to get rid of fire ants.

[txindy]

59. Wow, that is one neighborly man!

Fred Mattlage (or brother), :yourock:

[proud2BlibKansan]

61. He is crazy Larry's cousin

Sounds like a great guy.

[txindy]

62. I know. He made a point of saying, "DISTANT cousin." LOL!

So would I, if I was Fred. :rofl:

Mowing I can understand as the need for it would be readily apparent, but also treating for fire ants - that's extremely thoughtful. That takes caring.

Once again, Fred, :yourock:

[OhioChick]

54. Great pictures

Thanks for posting. :)
