[GSAS-Member] Pressure Washing Bog Wood

["SUSAN WELENOFSKY" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

Great idea Linda! That would work! I've even used a pressure washer this
past summer on a whole fence; I guess I didn't think of it since it is cool
outside. I would imagine that it could do a lot of spraying back though BUT
I finally got a scuba dry-suit, FREE from Craig's List. Now I remember. It
was getting kind of cold, so I wanted to wear a scuba or dry-suit. Also I
wanted the dry-suit to do some snorkeling in Lake 22, crystal clear water
with fish swimming around it, but very cold. I found a live salamander with
a bright orange body and pebble-like skin. There were also Picas squeaking
on the land between the rocks and posting look-outs.

My dry-suit doesn't have a hood, and there's an enormous brown fleece
jump-suit that would make a great teddy-bear outfit. I'm sure it would be
like wearing a sleeping bag and a tent.

Pressure washer?
If you don't have one you could head to a car wash (self serve) and  
use the rinse wand close up.
