Pioneer Mattress at 11,000 feet - 03.03.05
submitter: Donavon
location:Sawmill Mountain Range, near Howe, Idaho
This has got to be the crowning achievement of my young mattress hunting career. I found this old fella in the middle of July at 11,000 feet on a camping trip with my family. This is the last place in the world I expected to find a streetmattress.

If i were to find lots of mattress i would put them all in one spot and burn them all.

We were on separate ATV's and I ventured off on my own for a little bit. There were seven of us, my older brother, sister, Mom, Dad, Aunt, Uncle and their dog

I mean where were your family while all this was going on?

So were you alone on this mountain? No one to point for you?

lookin forward to seein them!

I thought that'd be cheating! I'll submit one or two others from this 'Tress. It was definitely a shock to see a mattress there. It made me laugh and think about the neverending search for streetmattresses. Be on your toes, they're everywhere!!!

this one's great but Donavon, but submit the others too - we like a themed photo series

I don't know how the "fow" got in. I'll have to learn to read my text, "found" that's what is was supposed to be.

It actually did put some work into this one when I took it. This was about the 6th one in the series. The first couple were without me in it, but you couldn't tell the size of the mattress. So I jumped in there for perspective. But I had the camera too close to the 'Tress for the next couple and you couldn't see the mountains very well. The 5th picture looked similar to this one, but covered up the snow. I thought snow in July was pretty cool, so this one made the website

Your pics always raise so many questions in my mind: are you half-lying on the ex-mattress to demonstrate its former use, or just keeping low so as to be sure of getting in the photo without being cut in half?

"fow"?

wim commented on 03.27.05
you went on a ski-trip and fow a heap of snow, like the alps

Donavon commented on 03.27.05
Yep, this was taken with the self timer and I had to be in it because I consider it to be my best mattress so far in my young career

Smart Set commented on 03.26.05
Is that you in the pic, Donavon? And does the low angle indicate a self-timer self-portrait?

very cloudy
