HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 Was this the craziest New-Years Party in America?

I think so. Why? Because of campers from all walks of life and lots of different places decided to celebrate the end of year 2025 in a forlorn stretch of desert under adverse weather conditions. Two couples from Montana, 1 couple from Oregon, 1 couple from Saskatchewan, Canada, 1 lady from Arizona, 1 guy from Montana, 1 couple from Washington State, and ourselves from New Brunswick, Canada.

The weather: Rain and wind and low, low temperatures.

The theme: Dress up like the upper crust!

The Characters:

May I introduce: His highness, The Duke of Canterberry with his lovely wife Pamela Antoinette.

The Duke is a highly successful businessman in London, he routinely gets the best deals and while he is always charming the ladies, he can be quite brutal in his business dealings. Some say that Scotland Yard is onto him.

Mr. O'connor is a well known appearance of American decent, currently on business in London to strike a deal with the Duke of Canterberry. Rumours have it that Mr, O'Connor has connections to the US-Mafia. O'Connor has also been visiting his older aunt Betsy.

McRourke with his secretary.

In order to find the best story of the day there is Mr. Mc.Rourke, Chief Reporter at the London Daily at Fleet Street. He thinks that O'Connor and the Duke of Canterberry are up to some highly illegal deals involving the British crown jewels. His secretary Ms. Blackburn, is helping him to get to the facts.

Under one of McRourke's investigations he learns that another guy from the US, a certain Peter Mc.Cormack, an executive who represents a big US oil consortium from Texas is part of the ongoing deal.

McCormack seems nice enough but under his western-cowboy style his vest is not as clean as it appears. He wants to highjack the British Gasoline Market.

Naturally, McRourke has included John Colburn, detective at Scotland Yard in his research. Sergeant Colburn is ready to call in more of his staff, but waits for the final clue.

They all met at the New Years Party at Piccadilly Circus.

It is not known yet what happened right after the clock struck 12, but we will let you know as soon as possible.

Have a wonderful start into 2026!
