Aww, now BAM certanly is one DIFFERENT kind of place.... I think it's the only place where we had our suit-up rack over the big, green, shimmery Haz-Mat spill.... and of course you can't drink the water.... and IF you get brave enough to shower in it, you'll itch like you just got back from a bad trip to the vet's....
BUT, I have had more FUN in Battle Mountain than many, many other places.... there are some GREAT folks there and they have made all the difference.... I can't even see the words "Battle Mountain" without starting to chuckle, actually... we've had so much fun there.
Of course, it's STILL the spot that can get a rise out of the jumpers quicker than just about any other.... one favorite trick is to wait, on a long ferry flight from say, Utah to California, to pass back a yellow sticky note saying "We're diverted to BAM" and waking up the guys to get them to pass it back to the jumper in the door..... OH, the LOOKS on their FACES....
MAN, do they get excited....... of course, the paybacks are hell.........
