adam Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Last weekend the Handstacking Nationals were in full swing. Parking was limited, but shuttle busses transported contestants, and the cheerful crowds that were piling into the competition gullies Boulderdash entered the traditional division class, and I entered the freestyle class.Well wouldn't you know it , Boulderdash took first place in his division with this traditional wall In the freestyle class , I barely edged the competition taking first place for building a rock dwelling with a genuine ocotillo roof. Later , there was a firewood stacking competition in which Boulderdash clearly won ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennM Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 There was no gold. they wouldn't have taken time to convince some futurearchaeologist that this area of the desert had a pigmy living there if there was.They'd have been digging like mad men until the stone wall became their own prison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulder dash Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It was a good weather weekend for sure. Why they charged one of the first place winners for a valet parking spot I don't know. I almost entered the fast stacker challenge but had to abort when my Lucky stacking gloves had a large hole in the right index finger. Adam sure worked hard on that pack rat mansion good job man.
