Operation:CatManDu?

So we went camping this past weekend, it was MegFest IV of course (can happily say that ive known meg for just over 3 years and ive made it to ALL 4 MEGFESTS!!

But anyway, while on this wonderful weekend of camping debauchery, we encountered something interesting. As it was mid-September, there werent a lot of campers at Lake Yeager in Litchfield IL. But besides us, there was one other campsite being used.

Just down the hill from us was a curious set up inhabited by a lone soul who became known as the Catman. Why was this reclusive man known as the CatMan? Because he told Tog on Friday afternoon that he was camping there all by himself with a bunch of cats. What?

Anyway, so we watched this CatMan from afar Friday evening and Saturday morning. He used no lights when it was dark (hes part cat and can see in the dark im sure!) and he walked around often with no shirt.

But then, Saturday afternoon, he removed the covering from his mini-vans front windshield, got in it and drove away. Being the respectful campers that we were, we immediately hatched a plot to investigate his camp.

I quickly got my short range radios that I had brought for just such occasions. I posted myself near the bathrooms and entrance to the campsite so i could keep an eye out, and Amanda and Deanna quietly crept into his camp. What they discovered was shocking (kudos to Deanna for taking her camera and documenting the excursion)

The first thing we discovered is that Catman likes to keep his hair clean, as evidenced by the Pantene and massive amounts of bottled water


We also learned that he likes to keep healthy by eating Smuckers Goobers and working out...


This is the airmattress or whatever he used to carefully cover up the windshield of his minivan while it was parked in the camp... now just haphazardly thrown to the ground, like it was unimportant to him...


It was also clear that CatMan liked to get his coffee buzz on... there were at least 10 used coffee filters on the ground, as well as piles of coffee grounds spread out here and there...


They were also brave enough to peek inside his tent, looking for the cats of course.. unfortunatley we found NO CATS anywhere, but here is some evidence of them, see the kitty dish in the foreground (if you look closely at the BACKGROUND, you will see that the newspapers are opened to the obituaries... creepy, yep i think so!)


Lastly, we learn about some of Catmans hobbies, which apparently include burning and painting things... hmmm... can you say CREEPIER...


Needless to say, I called out false alarms to the girls through the radio at least three times. It was funny to see them running through the woods back to our campsite, i knew they would go back and look for more.. but then our radios ran out of power (they were definitely not super heroes... thanks roxy!) and we had to abort the mission...

I wonder what ever happened to good old Catman...

and hey, im gettin lonely on here. wont some of you leave me comments... you dont have to register or anything! :)
