I need to find a copy of an old BWA picture I've seen before. It's from a club party, and it features a homemade hot tub consisting of a bathtub full of water suspended over a fire. If you have a copy of this picture or know where I can find it, please post back here.

Man, okay, maybe I imagined it, but I have this distinct image of a BWA party with a person (whom I think is Bill Lynch) lowering himself into this contraption, basically a bathtub or washtub suspended over a fire.

Come on, somebody help me out. I'd hate to think that my imagination produced an image of Beel soaking in a homemade hot tub. Do you have any idea how much mental floss it will take to restore my good mental hygiene if that's the case? Surely someone out there must remember this picture, and maybe even have a copy of it.

I was in that picture, but there was NO fire, at least not UNDER the tub; only IN the tub! And there were two tubs. B6 has it on video for sure...but I dunno about a still.

I know there's a still picture, I can see it in my head. Somebody out there's got to have a copy. I need it to send to my father-in-law as part of a half-serious joke.

Nobody, really?

You have checked with Spangler I take it? I only recall the one long ago with the women in rubber in it. Good luck. Post it if you find it.

Hanley the only BWA hot tub images (and video) I know about are the infamous ones from the 80s that were taken at one of the beginner clinics I was in charge of and where Chief, who was lounging naked in one of the tubs and clutching a mint julep (it was Derby weekend) uttered the immortal phrase: "Hey all you 9 to 5'ers check out this lifestyle!" Like C6 said, the fire was in the tub and not out of it:-)

That sounds right. I may have imagined the fire. The image was old, predating my time in the BWA by a significant margin. I can't remember where I saw it. Any idea where I can find that image now?

Yo Hanley here you go: [tinyurl.com]

This was taken Derby wknd 1985 at Frozen Head St. Park near Wartburg, TN where we based the camping / party of the clinic. There were actually 2 tubs but the generator would only run one.

Hanley, this made me go dig up and watch the video again. Hydras and Mirages, Blue Hole open boats, fiberglass Slippers, and Lettmans on the river and off.... oh what a party! Here's some carnage video of Nemo with the students and instructors. Check out C6 in the orange Hydra.

I'll show you the hot tub stuff this weekend:-)

Hmmmm, looks like Dad, DocLoc, perhaps others may have been naked. You mean to tell me the BWA tolerated nudity as long ago as 1985? Outrageous.

Gosh, the BWA is so tame now.....................what happened?
