Mountain Bowling! A fine recreation we saw being practiced down in the Topa Range. (Actually, I suppose we heard it first, because it was quite loud.) You would have loved it! The tale is too long to fit into a comment, and it really deserves a graphic, so I'll have to see if I can write it up as a post. Stay tuned! Your story just reminded me of… Mountain Bowling!

Built several during my "Junkyard Wars" days, along with the various two and four-wheeled vehicles that morphed in and out of existence. When we lived in the mountains, I threw our table scraps over the side of a deep gully near the cabin for the coyotes.
