Adventures of the frisbee family

We are only a week away from our move north! Some stuff is already packed up but every day we pack a few more boxes. I found some old photo albums and in the recent vein of posting old pictures I offer up these two bits of evidence from a , lets say, less structured period of my life. At one point, following a season of working in Denali, I found myself traveling from Seattle to Charleston in a 1977 Dodge van and the company of four good friends and one tight fitting grey unitard. Hilarity ensued. We often took breaks to stretch or just check out some scenery and our usual activity was frisbee to loosen up; not that we were an uptight group. Anyway, it didn't take much convincing for me to do a superman change into the unitard whenever we came across particularly interesting road signs. Exhibits A and B-

I surely must be from the old school as I have no idea what a unitard (spelling) is and now that I've seen it OH MY, OH MY. I have definitely never seen this pictue before. You have come a long way since your travels across county in the VAN.

Mike, Thanks for my biggest laugh of the day. Can't wait to see what else you find......

We hope you still own that unitard and find another sign to pose by on the way to CT.
A toast to good times!

That is painful just to look at! Was that outfit from one of your dance recitals?
