| the 1st annual optimus rhyme summer camping trip july 24-25, 2004 |
| the weather was perfect, the company was ideal. our destination: summit lake. the 2 mile up hill hike to the campsite at the lake almost killed me, (i'm definitely in the worst shape of anyone in the group), but, as promised by the carter brothers, we were rewarded with and incredible view of mt. rainier. |

 |
| tim (grimrock-drums), elizabeth (fellow girlfriend), and andy (wheelie-MC) begin up the mountain. this was taken before i fell about a full mile behind them. damn their excellent physical fitness! |
 |
| this is leigh (stumblebee-bass). he is almost as out of shape as me, so we hung out together on the hike. |
 |
| our super sweet destination. the boys and beth-bot said it was 'refreshing.' FREEZING was more like it. it took a few tries, but i did manage to get my little hawaiian body in there eventually...once elizabeth went in, my pride wouldn't let me not. |

| mark and i pose in front of the amazing mt. rainier. |
| if bee had made the hike that morning, this could have been the perfect cover for their next album. |
| all in all, a fantastic weekend. bro-bot was also with us, but unfortunately he's not in any pictures. next time...next time... |
