Service.
On 12 March 1934, the capsized during sea trials due to poor stability, Following this accident, it was realised that like many Japanese warships, the "CH-1" class suffered from excessive topweight, and "CH-2" was modified by adding ballast, increasing displacement to standard and full load.
World War II.
"CH-2"s first mission of the war was on 7 December 1941 as part of Operation "M", for the landings in the northern Philippines. She participated in the landings at Aparri on 10 December 1941.

History.
The station was opened by the Great Northern Railway of Ireland in 1896. Ardee lost its passenger services in 1934 but goods traffic continued to flow until the 1970s. The last scheduled service was a special in October 1975, and the line was unused after that time, the goods service officially closed in November 1975. The line was not officially abandoned until 1987, with the rails being 'lifted' shortly after.
Engineer.
In 1896 The Great Northern Railway had their own engineering staff working under the Chief Engineer William Hemmingway Mills. The Engineer in charge of the Ardee branch was Joshua H. Hargrave (1860-1924) who lived in Kingstown.
The site today.

Xanthi railway station

Xanthi railway station () is a railway station that servers the city of Xanthi, in Xanthi in East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. The station is located 3km southeast of the citycenter, but still within the city limits. The station (as of 2019) is staffed, but only at peektimes, but has waiting rooms and a taxi rank.
History.
The station opened in 1900. Xanthi was annexed by Greece on 18 October 1912 during the First Balkan War. On 17 October 1925 The Greek government purchased the Greek sections of the former Salonica Monastir railway and the railway became part of the Hellenic State Railways, with the remaining section north of Florina seeded to Yugoslavia. In 1970 OSE became the legal successor to the SEK, taking over responsibilities for most of Greece's rail infrastructure. On 1 January 1971 the station, and most of Greek rail infrastructure where transferred to the "Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A.", a state-owned corporation. Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed monopoly of OSE for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s. Many small stations of the network with little passenger traffic were closed down. On 9 September 2007, the station reopened. Since 2007, the station is served by the Proastiakos Thessaloniki services to New Railway Station. In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cutback, routes closed and stations left abandoned as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. Services from Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis were cut back from six to just two trains a day, reducing the reliability of services, and passenger numbers. In 2016 upgrade work on the line resulted in no stopping services between Drama and Xanthi. There is old abandoned boxcar shunted onto one of the sidetracks, very close to the station buildings. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.
Facilities.
The station has waiting rooms, within the original brick-built station building. There is a cafe-ouzerie next door. The station is staffed, but only at peak times.
Services.
It is served by two long-distance trains between Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis. On the 25 September 2016, as part of the planned upgrade ‘reorganization’ of the rail network, the Drama-Xanthi rail link was be suspended. The planned interruption was scheduled to take 6 to 9 months.
Between July 2005 and February 2011 the Friendship Express, (an international InterCity train jointly operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) and TrainOSE S.A. linking Istanbul's Sirkeci Terminal, Turkey and Thessaloniki, Greece) made scheduled stops at Xanthi.

T34 Calliope

The Rocket Launcher T34 (Calliope) was a tank-mounted multiple rocket launcher used by the United States Army during World War II. The launcher was placed atop the M4 Sherman, with its prominent vertical side frames anchored to the turret's sides, and fired a barrage of 4.5 in (114 mm) M8 rockets from 60 launch tubes. It was developed in 1943; small numbers were produced and were used by various US armor units in 1944–45. It adopts its name from the musical instrument "Calliope", also known as the steam organ, which had similar parallel or clustered pipes.
Variants.
Each rocket was armed with a 4.5 inch (114 mm) fin-stabilized projectile armed with High-Explosive that had the same explosive yield as a 105mm Howitzer, and had a maximum range of 4100 yards (4 km).
The range was increased to 5250 yards (5 km). The rockets were fired electronically using cables that were inserted through the commander's hatch. The 75mm main gun could not be fired once the rocket launcher has been attached. This caused the tank crews to modify the launcher's installation in the field, thereby allowing the main gun to fire albeit at a reduced elevation for the launcher. Later models of the launcher also had flame deflectors to help prevent rocket exhaust from entering the engine compartment.
Service history.
Although Calliopes were originally manufactured before D-Day and were envisioned for bunker-busting duties on the beaches, the proposal was dropped due to the tank's high center of gravity which makes its transportation unsteady. Thirty M4s of the 743rd Tank Battalion had the T34 launchers installed to assist a planned push by the 30th Infantry Division in December 1944. The German Ardennes offensive stopped this plan, and the launchers were subsequently removed and not reinstalled on tanks until February 1945 with General Patton's army. In March 1945, when Patton's army was pushing through the Saarland in Western Germany, the launchers did manage to see some usage in armored divisions.
In 1945, it was used in various actions by the 745th Tank Battalion and the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th, and 14th Armored Divisions and saw extensive use in Europe by the 1st Infantry Division. Although seeing limited action, it was effective as a weapon for psychological warfare. The noise generated by launches was enough to scare enemy soldiers.

Leslie Skinner

Colonel Leslie Alfred Skinner LOM (April 21, 1900 – November 2, 1978) was an American rocket engineer. He played a leading role in the development of several rocket propelled weapons during World War II, notably the first shoulder-fired missile system, the bazooka.
Early life and education.
Born in San Francisco, California, in 1900, Skinner was the only son of an army surgeon. As a young teenager, he had a fascination with rockets and began to build his own, an activity that was forbidden after he had set fire to the hospital roof at Fort Strong, Massachusetts in 1915. He graduated from Boston Latin School in 1918 and after wartime military service, began medical training at Harvard University before deciding to follow his childhood interest in weaponry by enrolling at West Point. Commissioned into the Army Air Corps, he qualified as an airship pilot and air observer.
Rocket development.
An attachment to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1932, gave him the chance to experiment with solid-propellant rockets, the only rocket research in the US Armed Forces at that time. After a spell at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete a Master of Science degree, Skinner became an instructor at Aberdeen and continued his experiments in his spare time, often reusing discarded artillery propellants and scrap parts. There was little official interest in his work, and in 1938 he was posted to Hawaii for two years. In the meantime, the need for rocket weapons had been realised by the authorities and on his return, he was posted to the Indian Head Rocket Laboratory, Maryland, under the direction of Clarence N. Hickman.
Skinner originally produced sketches of a tube-launched anti-tank rocket in December 1940, but was told that there was no suitable warhead. The development of the M10 shaped charge projectile brought the project back to life, and while Skinner worked on the actual rocket, work on a launcher was delegated to Edward Uhl, who had recently joined Skinner's Special Projects Unit. The first prototype launcher was made from a steel tube salvaged from a scrap heap; it was demonstrated in May 1942 by Skinner and Uhl during a trial of spigot mortars at Aberdeen, the rocket launcher scoring several hits on a moving tank target while five different mortars achieved none; this was a considerable achievement since the launcher's sights had been fabricated that morning from a wire coat hanger. The first production Rocket Launcher, M1 "Bazooka" were issued in time for Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa, in October 1942.
During development of the M8 rocket in the fall of 1941, Skinner produced the first prototypes which he tested at Aberdeen; he had improvised the rocket casings from old fire extinguisher tanks which were across, thereby fixing the diameter of the developed weapon.
In 1943, Skinner was posted to the United Kingdom to liaise with his British counterparts. While in England, he helped to identify the first photographic reconnaissance images of the German V-2 ballistic missiles. On his return, he was posted to the California Institute of Technology to establish an ordnance sub-office, effectively ending his research activities.
Later career and retirement.
In July 1945, Skinner was sent to the Pacific Theater to organize ordnance supply, before retiring from the army in 1948 to take up a post at the Aerojet Engineering Corporation in Rancho Cordova, California. With the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Skinner was recalled and given a commission in the Air Force, where he established a weapons test facility at Eglin Air Force Base. Retiring from the military for a second time two years later, he became a consultant for the weapons manufacturing Oerlikon Group. In 1970, he moved to Belleair Bluffs, Florida and took up sculpture.
Leslie Skinner died on November 2, 1978. He and his wife Margaret had two children. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.


Highline National Recreation Trail

The Highline National Recreation Trail is a 54.7-mile trail that runs below the Mogollon Rim in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona. The trail showcases beautiful vistas of rim canyons, brushy hills, distant mountains, unique rock formations, and wonderful stands of Ponderosa pine. The trail was established in 1870 and was used to travel between homesteads and to attend school in Pine, Arizona. Zane Grey (who had a cabin in the area) and Babe Haught used the Highline Trail while hunting, and the Zane Grey Highline Trail 50 Mile Run ultramarathon takes place on the trail. The portion of the Highline Trail from the Washington Park Trailhead to the Pine Trailhead is part of the Arizona Trail passage 26.
Sections of the trail have been burned multiple times, including by the deadly Dude Fire in 1990, and the Highline fire in 2017, where part of the trail was used as a firebreak. The eastern part of the trail underwent significant maintenance an improvement between 2012 and 2018.

Ring II

Ring II (pronounced "ring two", , ; also known as "Kilonväylä") in the region of Espoo is one of the major highways in Finland. The road runs north–south, connecting Turuntie in the north, to Länsiväylä in the south. Despite its name suggesting a circle, it has not been built as a true beltway yet, unlike the parallel Ring I and Ring III highways.
History.
The road was initially planned in the 1960s, but it was not until the end of 2000 that the first phase was completed.
Future.
Since the cross-city traffic in Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa is estimated to nearly double by the year 2025, plans have been made to extend Ring II to connect up with Finnish national road 3 () in the northeast and add lanes where the road is currently only one lane wide in each direction.

Sarp Bridge

Sarp Bridge ( or ) is a series of bridges which span across Sarpefossen, a waterfall of the river Glomma in Sarpsborg, Norway. In the current arrangement, one bridge carries a pathway, one carries a single track of the Østfold Line and one carries two lanes of National Road 118. The road and pathway bridges are about long, while the railway bridge is .
The first bridge at the site was a brick suspension bridge opened on 25 February 1854. It was rebuilt as a multilayer bridge and opened with rail tracks on an upper truss level on 2 January 1879. In order to strengthen the railway, a new steel truss railway bridge opened on 9 May 1931. The former bridge was then rebuilt as a wider road bridge. An accident on 15 April 1940 caused the fire department to blow away one of the pillars, collapsing the superstructure. A new road bridge was completed in 1943. The two were supplemented with a separate pathway bridge in 1977. There are plans to replace the existing bridges with a four-land road and three-track railway bridge, scheduled for no later than 2030.
Specifications.
There are three current bridges which cross over Sarpefossen, which is also referred to as Sarpsfossen. Upstream is a pathway bridge for bicycles and pedestrians. In the middle is a railway bridge and furthest downstream is a road bridge.
The railway bridge is officially named Bridge over Glomma at Sarpsfossen (). The steel truss bridge carries a single track of the Østfold Line, with the western end of the bridge situated from Oslo Central Station. It has an overall length of , including viaducts on both sides of the bridge proper. The main span is , with two side spans measuring . The total truss length is . Just east of the bridge the Eastern Østfold Line branches off at the now disused Hafslund Station.
Original bridge.
The first bridge was a suspension bridge with two brick pillars. The original road bridge was long between the landfall. The main span measured , while the smaller ones measured . There were four cables each made up of wrought iron. The bridge was dimensioned to withstand a load of 320 kilograms per deck-meter. The bridge had an overall weight of about 360 tonnes.
The railway component made the original bridge into a multilevel structure. The bridge then had four brick pillars, which carried three truss spans. The tracks were above the roadbed. With viaducts the railway bridge reach a length of .
History.
First road bridge.
At the start of the 19th century the King's Road through Østfold passed through Hafslund and then continued along the southeastern bank of the river to Fredrikstad. A ferry service was offered at Sandesund, near the current location of the Sannesund Bridge. The ferry service was both expensive and dangerous, and it was not uncommon for there to be lethal accidents. The new Highway Act of 28 July 1824 stipulated that the road from Torsbekken to Tune Church did not have sufficient standard, and the town magistrate demanded in 1841 that a new road be built. It was in relation to this that the first demands for a bridge across Glomma was proposed, initially between Buene and Dombergodden. Soon a counterproposal was made, to place the bridge over the falls. An argument against this was that the bridge could be damaged if a lock burst further up along Glomma and there came an uncontrolled rush of lumber. However, the bridge across Sarpefossen would give shorter access from the areas east of the town, and it would be shorter, cheaper have better carrying capacity.
Proposals for state funding were issued by the municipality in 1844. Not until five years later was a detailed design of a bridge made, by Christian Vilhelm Bergh. The Engineering Brigade protested and wanted the entire bridge between landfalls to be built with a single span. This was rejected by the road authorities as it would more than double the construction costs. It was estimated to cost 36,000 Norwegian speciedaler, of which 25,000 was for the bridge and the rest for the auxiliary roads and administration. State grants were approved on 30 June 1851.
Only two companies bid for the ironworks contract, and the contract was awarded to Fritzøe Jernverk. Construction started in February 1952. A main concern was that there were not enough stonemasons in the area, causing several new ones to be trained while others were brought in from Sweden. Work on the foundations started in the late winter of 1852, when the water level was the lowest. The first attempt failed, with river flooding over the work and postponing construction a further year. The second attempt was made the following winter, with the workers having a three-month window in which the pillars needed to be built high enough that the spring floods would not enclose them. The second attempt succeeded. Construction was completed by February 1854. There were no serious accidents during the works, and the bridge was officially opened on 25 February.
Arrival of the railway.
Parliament approved the construction of the Østfold Line in 1874. With this there arose a local debate as to where the railway should cross Glomma. The Railway Directorate initially proposed that the line cross at Sandesund. This was met with near unison local opposition, as it would cut through the plant at Borregård and the town. An agreement was thereby made where they railway was allowed to use the foundations of the road bridge and build the railway bridge on top. The town offered the railway the bridge for free on condition that it was rebuilt in a manner which allowed the road traffic to continue. The county would retain the responsibility for maintaining the road surface.
When the construction of the Østfold Line started, the responsibility for bridges and viaducts was placed at Axel Jacob Petersson. The Østfold Line was the first railway in Norway where all the major bridges were built with iron. Petersson started designing the railway river crossing in 1876. He decided that the best alternative was to build the railway bridge on top of the road bridge. The two pillars were heightened and two new pillars were built at the landing on each side. A truss section was thereafter placed between each of the pillars. The suspension cables were removed and the road bridge was supported with vertical cables from the trusses.
The ironworks were delivered by Bergheim & Lecoq of Belgium and weighed 320 tonnes. Construction commenced on 6 February 1877 and cost 265,270 Norwegian kroner. This included viaducts on both sides to gain sufficient height. The lower road section was opened for traffic already on 29 March 1877. The railway section was not in revenue use until the entire Østfold Line opened on 2 January 1879.
Hafslund expanded its intake canal under the eastern span in 1898, weakening the eastern pillar. This caused cracks in the abutment and the bridge was closed for improvements.
Second bridge.
By the turn of the century it had become evident that the Østfold Line was undermentioned. It was the main railway heading south to Continental Europe and there was a steady demand that the line support faster passenger services and heavier freight trains. This resulted in a 1910 decision to upgrade all bridges along the line to support a heavier weight norm. The work was initially planned to be completed by 1919. The breakout of the First World War and later lack of funding delayed the plans with more than a decade. The last major work was the construction of a new bridge over Sarpefossen. While other bridges were needed to be strengthened, with was not a viable option for the Sarp Bridge. The first plans for a new bridge were completed in 1913, but the break-out of the war place new project on hold. Planning was not taken up again before in 1922.
Meanwhile, the Public Roads Administration was increasingly dissatisfied with the road section. It was not wide enough to allow two cars to meet. The bridge was also not strong enough to support the weight of increased traffic. The Norwegian State Railways wanted to build a bridge with double track, but there was not sufficient funding for this. This would allow both branches of the railway to have each their track from Hafslund to Sarpsborg Station. The next idea was to build a second bridge next to the first, also carrying one road lane at a lower level and a track at an upper level. The two agencies were not able to agree on the distribution of the costs. The railways could in the end not wait longer and decided to build their own bridge and leave the old one free of the charge to the Public Roads Administration.
NSB first considered a stone bridge, but found that the bedrock on the Hafslund side was not stable enough. They therefore opted for a steel truss bridge situated on upstream of the original bridge. The bridge was designed by Hans Tønnesen. It received a deck which supported a single track, but the foundations were built to support double track. The plans were approved in December 1929. Work on the foundations started immediately and by November 1930 the first bridge elements were being installed. These were designed by Erik Ruuds Mekaniske Verksted. The main truss had to be put together on side and then lifted up from the waterfalls, and event that took place on 17 March 1931. The bridge was finished in 1 May 1931 and the first train ran across it on 9 May. The new railway bridge cost 716,000 kroner.
Hafslund Station was established in 1931, with the introduction of multiple units on the Eastern Østfold Line. Originally a flag stop, it was situated just east of the bridge. The interchange between the two lines was from 1933 remotely controlled from Sarpsborg Station, as the first remotely controlled interchange in the country. The Østfold Line was electrified during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The section between Sarpsborg and Halden, and thus the Sarp Bridge, was powered up on 11 November 1940.
Once the railway bridge was completed, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration took over the former bridge and rebuilt it wider and stronger. The entire superstructure and steel parts of the pillars were demolished. The brick gates were widened. The auxiliary road past Tarris was placed on a viaduct leading to the bridge. To avoid hindering traffic on the river, construction was prolonged. A temporary wooden bridge was erected in 1936 and remained for two years, until the new road bridge opened in 1938.
Explosion and new road bridge.
During the 1940 Norwegian Campaign against the invading German forces, both the Sarp Bridge and many other bridges were fitted explosives with so they could be blown up to block German advances. On 14 April 1940 a ten-year-old boy had played with some wires he had found on the Grøte Bridge and accidentally blown up one of the pillars. In response to the incident, Police Chief Hans Olsen the following day ordered the town's engineer office to remove the explosives from the Sarp Bridge. An engineer and three fire fighters first removed the explosives from the railway bridge. This was easy as the wires had already been removed. They then attempted to do the same on the road bridge. The explosives were detonated by mistake and the entire main span collapsed into the river. Two of the fire fighters and a man working at the dam were killed in the accident. On the orders of the German occupying authorities, a temporary ferry service was established between Sandesund and Borge using one of the port's vessels. It transported about 18,000 vehicles in four months.
The lower part of the trusses on the railway bridge were used to make a temporary pathway for pedestrians and bicycles. A temporary new road bridge was completed on 8 October. Full repairs of the road bridge was completed in 1943.
A bicycle and pedestrian bridge was completed in 1977.
Future.
The Norwegian National Rail Administration is working on plans to build a new high-speed railway line through Østfold as part of the InterCity Triangle project. The new line to Sarpsborg is scheduled for completion by 2026, while it is scheduled to reach Halden by 2030. As the existing lines are presumed to be kept, the railway will need a new bridge over Sarpefossen with three tracks. At the same time National Road 118 is being considered expanded to four lanes. Several alternative crossings of Glomma than at Sarpefossen have been considered, but in 2014 the municipal council went forward with an extension of the existing crossing. As there is limited space, the new road and railway right-of-ways are being planned together. An alternative is to build the road as a ring road crossing from Hafslundøy to Opsund.

High Sierra Trail

The High Sierra Trail (HST) is a hiking trail in Sequoia National Park, California. The trail crosses the Sierra Nevada from west to east. According to the Yosemite Decimal System, the HST is a Class 1/Class 2 trail, which means simple scrambling, with the possibility of occasional use of the hands for balance.
From the plateau of the Giant Forest at Crescent Meadow (elevation ) the trail travels high on the northern wall of the canyon of the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River to Bearpaw Meadow. This first of the trail is a popular though strenuous two-day round trip hike. The Bearpaw Meadow High Sierra Camp (a simple tent hotel) located here dates back to 1934.
Leaving the meadow, the trail climbs through the Hamilton Lakes Basin to Kaweah Gap which, at , is one of the lowest passes over the Great Western Divide within the park. From this pass, the route descends into Big Arroyo and then climbs to the Chagoopa Plateau, only to drop again to in the Kern River Canyon. After following along the Kern River, it turns east and climbs parallel to Wallace Creek to the junction with the John Muir Trail and Pacific Crest Trail from Crescent Meadow. This is the end of the High Sierra Trail. Hikers may continue on the John Muir Trail to the summit of Mount Whitney.
The Mount Whitney Trail branches to the east from the John Muir Trail south of Mount Whitney's summit, and descends to Whitney Portal located at the end of the road from Lone Pine, California. From Crescent Meadow to Whitney Portal, the trail is long and often takes 6 days or more for the average hiker to complete. The fastest claimed time to traverse is 15 hours 46 minutes, by Leor Pantilat.
Work began on the High Sierra Trail in 1928, and it was the first Sierra trail built solely for recreational use.
Hikers should check with park rangers before planning a trip with riding or pack stock. At least one section of the trail is closed to stock, and grazing is limited in many areas.

The Great Outdoors (film)

The Great Outdoors is a 1988 American comedy film directed by Howard Deutch, and written and produced by John Hughes. It stars Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Stephanie Faracy and Annette Bening in her film debut. The film follows two families spending time on vacation in Wisconsin.
Plot.
Chicagoan Chester "Chet" Ripley (John Candy), his wife, Connie (Stephanie Faracy), and their two sons, Buckley "Buck" and Ben, are on vacation at a lake resort in Pechoggin, Wisconsin during the summer. All is going as planned until Connie's sister, Kate (Annette Bening), her investment broker husband, Roman Craig (Dan Aykroyd), and their twin daughters, Mara and Cara, crash the vacation.
Ghost stories after the family BBQ include one of a man-eating grizzly bear that Chet met face-to-face when he was younger. Chet says that while he and Connie were honeymooning at the same lake, he was attacked by a giant grizzly bear (Bart the Bear). When he fired at it with a shotgun, the buckshot shaved the hair off the top of the bear's head and from that day on, it was known as the "Bald-Headed Bear" of Clare County.
After Roman pulls Chet around the lake on an impromptu water ski ride with his rented speedboat, tensions between the families erupt. Chet is ready to pack up and go home, even as his teenage son Buck tries to romance a local girl, Cammie. The budding romance goes well until Chet is challenged to eat the Old 96'er (a 96-ounce steak) at a family dinner which causes Buck to break their date. Buck tries to apologize to Cammie for being late, but Cammie refuses to speak to him.
Connie and Kate bond at a local bar when the conversation drifts to Kate's challenges of being wealthy. Later, just at the peak of tension between families, Roman tells of the time at his and Kate's wedding when he overheard a conversation between Chet and their father-in-law describing how they think Roman is a crooked businessman. This leads to Roman telling Chet why he came up to visit: To offer Chet a $25,000 investment opportunity. Chet, feeling guilty from the wedding story, is at first reluctant, but eventually agrees to write Roman a check for the whole amount. The families say their goodbyes and Roman and his family head back to Chicago. On the car ride home, Kate praises Roman for including Chet in the investment, noting that $25,000 is a lot of money for them. Roman, now feeling his own sense of guilt, suddenly stops the car and turns back to the cabin.
Upon his return, Roman confesses that the story about the wedding conversation never happened and reveals that he is broke from some bad investments. His true intention for coming up to the lake was to solicit money from Chet to get back on his feet.
During a thunderstorm, Kate discovers the twins have wandered off. Chet and Roman find them at the bottom of an old mine shaft, but the claustrophobic Roman is reluctant to descend into the tiny space. After some encouragement from Chet, Roman courageously climbs down into the mine, while Chet goes in search of a rope to pull them out. Upon realizing that the mine is stocked with old dynamite, Roman takes his daughters and climbs out of the shaft on his own.
When Chet returns with the rope, he is horrified to discover the "Bald-Headed Bear" lurking in the mine. It chases him back to the cabin, smashes through the door, and rampages through the house. Wally, the cabin owner, bursts in with a loaded shotgun while Roman tries to hold off the animal with a fireplace poker and an oar. Chet takes the gun and shoots the bear, blowing the fur off its rear. Roaring in pain, the bear runs out of the house. The next morning, the two families part on good terms. Unbeknownst to Chet, Connie has invited Roman's family to stay with them until they can get back on their feet. Cammie and Buck make up and end their summer romance, as Buck and his family head back to Chicago.
In a post-credits scene, a family of raccoons (who rummaged through the trash cans throughout the film) discover the bear sitting in the lake out of embarrassment due to being "bald on both ends".
Filming.
Filming Locations.
The film was shot on location in Bass Lake, California, a small resort town near Yosemite National Park over three weeks in October 1987. Ducey's Bass Lake Lodge, a rustic 1940s resort, was featured as Wally and Juanita's Perk's Pine Lodge. The Loon's Nest vacation cabin, built on the backlot at Universal Studios, was designed to match the style of Ducey's existing cabins.
Production.
The film was shot under the working title "Big Country," but was changed to avoid confusion with Big, which was due to come out at the same time.
In the original John Hughes script, Roman's redemption came through a daring rescue of his twin girls who had caught a giant fish that towed them around the lake in a small rowboat. A mechanical fish was built for the film, but when it could not be made to work correctly, the script was re-written around the legend of the bald-headed bear and the chase in the final act.
Reception.
"The Great Outdoors" earned a mixed response from critics.
Janet Maslin of "The New York Times" reported that the film did not have enough collective energy to light a campfire in her review. Kevin Thomas of the "Los Angeles Times" called the film as "a crass, blah comedy about summer vacation perils" and said he was surprised the film got made at all. He described the end credits sequence where Aykroyd and Candy dance to Wilson Pickett's "Land of a Thousand Dances" as the only genuine fun and energy in the entire film. "Imagine that it's raining cats and dogs and you're locked in a north woods cabin for weeks with the people you like least, and you'll pretty much have a feel for what it's like to sit through this movie," said Hal Hinson of "The Washington Post".
Box office.
The film grossed $6,121,115 in its opening weekend and ended up with a North American domestic box office gross of $41,455,230, and a worldwide gross of $43,455,230.
Soundtrack.
A soundtrack for the film was released by Atlantic Records in 1988 and featured many of the songs used in the film.
Reboot.
On April 27, 2017, Universal Pictures that announced a reboot of the film starring Kevin Hart and produced by Michael De Luca was in development.
