Clampout At Rice Army Air Field

Above, an aerial view of the clampsite during a flyover by a friend of the Billy Holcomb Humbug.

About 600 members of the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus (Billy Holcomb, Lost Dutchman and Queho Posse chapters) congregated on the runway of the former Rice Army Airfield in the Mojave Desert of California for their fall clampout.

As mentjoned, a little airshow put on by a frend of the Billy Holcomb Humbug took the above aerial photo of the clampsite.

It was in the 90s for most of the clampout. Naturally, a lot of water (and beer) were consumed by the attendees. 

We had around 88 PBCs (Poor Blind Candidates) get initiated into the Order. 

It was a most Satisfactory clampout.

Naturally, I took some photos of the event (except where noted).
