First place goes to the first person to tell me (in the comments) what the overriding common theme is. Second place goes to the person who organizes all 105 into 10 or fewer sub-themes that are consistent and coherent (in the comments). Third place goes to the person who tells an amusing anecdote (in the comments) about the overriding theme. Go for it, and… good luck.

  1. Arriving at Furnace Creek Campground in Death Valley one year, we saw a sign at the ranger’s entry station:
    Coyotes: 1
    Dogs:0
    We asked what it meant, and the ranger said (I’m paraphrasing): a lot of the RV folks like to bring their dogs and sit outside with them in the evening in front of the campfire. Sometimes, they let the little travel dogs stray a little too far out of the fire light. That’s when the coyotes get +1.
    (It also kind of sums up how I feel about those giant RVs — 105 different names?!)

  2. Not going to attempt to organize them, by… what, make, style???

    But a few of those names have been used for various types of backpacking equipment through the years.

  3. “Hey, honey! Let’s go for a vacation in the Inferno.” Doesn’t sound very appealing, but I guess they ran out of names.
