Chucker makes a Friend


This picture was taken in the grassy camping area of the Columbia Gorge Amphitheater the morning after a triple bill of the Doobie Brothers, Allman Brothers and The Dead. The three principal members of the World Renown HOY7 Hunting Team, along with Chucker, left Saturday morning for the long drive to northeastern Washington. Although we had a slight 1 hour detour we made it to the venue in time to miss the Doobies entirely. I, for one, was hoping to yell "China Grove" as loud as possible several times while displaying dual peace signs.

The Allmans and The Dead played well and I think I can say a good time was had by all. Today's post however has to do with Koala Girl. Chucker found her at the bazaar that always seems to accompany a Dead Show. She impressed him with her obvious stellar fashion sense and good humor. Chucker rewarded her for her wit and acumen with a valuable commodity, "a good beer", not the crappy budweisers we were all drinking. If you notice Koala Girl has that beer in her hand in this very picture. The amazing part of this story is that this commodities exchange happened at roughly 2am. Even more amazing is that seconds before we left Koala Girl happened to walk by our campsite, out of the thousands, holding the very same beer. Needless to say Chucker gave her another one. She seemed thirsty.

May Heston Bless you Koala Girl and keep you safe in your travels.
