camping table

A side table, a foot rest, or a work station, how many ways can the Side Canyon be utilized at camp? This little guy folds down to the size of a dinner tray and provides ample support for ultimate versatility and functionalityQuick to set up and handy as a simple seat or side table, the Side Canyon Table’s 250-pound load capacity means you can even use it as a step stool. TravelChair tables are as sturdy and reliable as the company’s famous chairs. Inspired by the large folding tables used on whitewater rafting trips, the Side Canyon table is strong and ready for rough handling. Made from lightweight aluminum, it has telescoping legs that quickly convert table from a dining surface to food prep or workbench height. When you’re ready to go, it folds up for easy storage and portability.

Specifications:

• Dimensions Open: 10 by 12 by 15 inches
• Dimensions Closed: 2 by 12 by 17.5 inches
• Seat Height: 15 inches
• Weight: 2 pounds, 3 ounces
• Capacity: 250 pounds

Travelchair Features

• Webbing
  Seat belt webbing is good enough to save your life and it is good enough to reinforce our chairs. Travelchair goes beyond the industry standard to use the toughest webbing in the business.
• Feet
  Feet hold the chair together and keep you out of the dirt. Travelchair feet are designed, like our molded grommets, to be at peace when loaded. The nylon insures that the feet in your chair will be flexible and strong.
• Grommets
  Travelchair molds grommets to conform to optimal angles when the chair is loaded. High strength nylon and double stitching means no compromise in durability.
• Rivets
  Not all rivets are the same–Travelchair rivets are oversized to maintain frame integrity. Instead of drilling a large hole to drop the rivet into and then mashing down the ends for a tight fit, Travelchair drills to exacting tolerances, which means more manufacturing time spent creating products, and much longer product life.
• Frames
  Travelchair steels and aluminums are a grade higher than what is on the market and a tick or two thicker than the average chair, resulting in stronger, longer lasting frames.
• Fabric
  The common thread throughout the Travelchair line is that each fabric is the ultimate in durability for its intended use. Take the 600 denier nylon, for example. Travelchair uses a double layer instead of a single layer like discounted store chairs. The ballistic nylon and polyester meshes have been put through rigorous product testing in the Desert Southwest, in Chilean Patagonia, and in the Travelchair warehouse in Gig Harbor, Washington.
• Details
  Travelchair finishes products with details such as bar tacking, doubling of fabrics, and reinforcement fabrics made of seat belt material because they believe the bottom line is superior design.

Polson, Jul 2010 – 66


Image by Ed Yourdon
(more details later, as time permits)

****************

After a 1993 summer vacation in Crested Butte and Ouray, (pictures of which are in this Flickr set, I decided that while the scenery was spectacular, Colorado was too crowded and over-run by tourists, visitors, and owners of summer/retirement/ski homes. So I looked elsewhere in the summer of 1994, and was intrigued by a large patch of blue when I looked at a map of Montana. It turned out to be Flathead Lake — the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River — and it provided the inspiration for spending a week in the tiny little town of Polson, on the southern shore of the lake.

In 1996 and 1997, I spent two full summers in Polson, and grew quite attached to the town and its surrounding mountains, rivers, and lake — photos of which you can see here and here. You might also be interested in some of my observations about life in Polson and Montana, which I wrote about in blogs titled The Polson Parade, and Leaving Montana. But then life changed, other things intervened, and I drifted away from Montana altogether.

In the summer of 2010, I had a chance to re-visit Polson, and spend three short days driving around to re-acquaint myself with the area. It’s been over a dozen years, so I was expecting some changes … but in general, the town of about 5,000 people was pretty much the same. My favorite restaurant had closed down, a Mailboxes Etc outlet had been replaced by a video-rental outlet, and the local McDonald’s outlet was no longer posting posting all of the bounced checks from desperate customers on its wall (hey, you’ve got to be desperate if you order a Big Mac with fries, and pay with a check that bounces!). It looked like some of the local ranchers and farmers had sold off some of their acreage, for there were a few new "vacation communities" filling up what had been open meadows and pasture just outside of town.

But the lake had not changed at all, and the Mission Mountains along the eastern shore of the lake were as pretty as ever. Just for the heck of it, I got up at 5 AM one morning, and photographed the pre-dawn stillness on the lake, and then the changing colors of clouds above the lake as the sun slowly rose up to peek over the top of the mountains. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to drive down to the Kerr Dam, and I didn’t drive all the way around the north end of the lake: I only made it up to Big Fork on the eastern side, and LakeSide on the western side of the lake. I was going to take the half-day white-water rafting trip down the Flathead River, south of the dam, but there wasn’t time for that, either … Nor was there any time for fishing, or even to rent a jet-ski and zoom around on the broad expanse of water in Polson Bay, at the south end of the lake.

So maybe there will be ample cause to go back to Polson once again, either next year or the year after. But for now, I’ve got a visual record of the sights and scenes that I saw on this trip. Roughly half of the photos are 5-image handheld HDR composites, and the other half are more traditional digital images, taken during a sunset boat cruise out on the lake.

Enjoy …

About Crosman
In 1923 in Rochester, New York, Crosman was founded as Crosman Arms Company. From its inception, Crosman’s principal products were airguns and airgun ammunition. During the 1950s, new accounts included Sears Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward, and Western Auto, all of which sold Crosman’s products under their respective brand names. In 1966, the company introduced its own Crosman brand airgun, the Pumpmaster 760, which has sold more than 11 million units to date. Crosman Corporation is now an international designer, manufacturer, and marketer of Crosman pellet, BB, airsoft rifles and pistols, Copperhead ammunition, and Benjamin pellet rifles and ammunition.
