Annual Tarantula Festival @ Coarsegold California Oct. 24-26th 2008
Here are some pictures from our "Boys Weekend Getaway".

We knew we were headed in the right direction at this point

You can take them out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of them

Here is the same gang. You can see the bridge which is a favorite place for the locals to jump off (per their newspaper)

The Tarantula Festival - Some "deadies" for sale

Here I am wearing 2 of the only 3 shirts that I own

The closest that Emo came to seeing a turtle

Scott's Tarantulas

The Men's Hairy Legs Competition..... dammit, where was Nesh when we needed him?

You can see the kids pumpkin entries

The Women's Hairy Legs Competition .... dammit, Nesh wouldve taken this one too

One of the locals

"OMG,..that tickles!"

Back to his captor. They were brought in every type of container you can imagine

Another local

And yet another local

So then the Pied Piper leads the children through the downtown area for some Trick r' Treatin

Eddy and Eric buying souvenirs for the Scabies group peeps that didnt make it. (Theyre in the mail)

The small tent that Eddy and Gerry slept in

Yummy!! the Tarantula Shake --- (please dont ban me!)

And now we present The Tarantula Race with our very own Emo representin'

The other contestants

I do remember Emo losing a few precious seconds getting on his knees because he wasnt prepared.

It was a tough race, all 8 seconds of it. There was a tie. No need to worry, team Scabies will be back next year with our best OBT

Some pics I took from are adventure! Enjoy, Eric

Back at the campsite. Sorry for the blurry pics

Some roadkill we came across

The Bug Hunt

If I recall correctly, it appeared to be a Calisoga at the burrow's entrance before it disappeared inside. But here it looks like a T burrow.

They were trying to scare us with UFO abduction, Aliens, anal proves, Area 51, X Files, etc etc, and that this cave was haunted, but here we have proof of spirits invading Eric's brain

The turkeys !! there was an albino that I thought I had photographed but I dont see it... Rolling Eyes

Emo's digs. He spent like 5 hours, 2 shovels, 3 gallons of our drinking water, one beer and like 6 trips to the water faucet and still wasnt able to get them out.

The mystery T

WTF??? You mean that Emo could've also represented the Scabies in the Mens Hairy Legs contest too??

Here we see Eddy just having a blast fishing. He can hardly control his excitement.

"I cant believe I spent $12 on the fishing permit where I couldve of bought me a T instead!"
