Brothers Campfire Presents The Worlds Oldest Giant Rocking Chair

Thanks to the internet, I narrowly avoided mislabling this as the worlds largest rocking chair!

Up until 2008, this 21 foot tall, 14 foot wide monstrosity held the title of worlds largest. It has been superceded by others who had no better way to spend thier hard earned cash. I suppose it is art, but I am not versed in it.

Penrose, Colorado has somewhere between 3 and 5 thousand inhabitants and has one visible gas station that I use from time to time.

I have what is known to the regulars as “The Party At Penrose.” I may write about this experience in the future.

Prior to writing this blog, I dabbled in other media as a form of expression. Here is a link to a clip I made where I pretended to escape a giant. Rocking Chair Video. Looking back, it is a little lengthy, but I had fun making it. Let me know what you think!

            I was driving. I was trying to make it appear as If I were being chased by a giant. I am glad you took the time to let me know what you thought about it. Have a beautiful day!!!

      Let me know if it is too long or how you would improve it. I think I can do better down the road. School is important. What is your favorite and least favorite subject?

      1. Lydia Potter says:

        Sure thing.
        I only have a few subjects left to finish before graduation, but I hate english and math. I like spelling.

          You are going to make it! Remember, don’t outgrow your roots. They make you the remarkable individual you are. As life progresses, you will see the shallowness the world at large offers. I am cheering for you!

            That I am, friend and snotty nosed little sister. One day, you will look back at that annoying blogger with the Campfire and be happy I hammered that comment home. I will refrain from saying it again….. Mostly!

            And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

            It doesn’t bother me anymore.
            I know. I will never be able to forget you!
            You can say it again if ya want.

            Thanks, bro. You’re awesome!

  2. Lydia Potter says:

    Whoa bro! This was unreal cool!!!!!
    You made a nice size movie! Incredible!
    I LOVED the music!!!!!!!
    You took some of those turns quick and rough like… just saying.
    I’m surprised you weren’t going 90 mph when it showed 60. I always speed…. 🙁
    I was either laughing my head off or cringing…. WONDERFUL!

      1. Lydia Potter says:

        I’ll have to share it with everybody cool I know….. which isn’t anyone! JUST KIDDING! I know a ton of cool people, so you’ll become popular!

          1. Benjamin says:

            I was trying to get your attention. You should read my dad’s post about family. My comment went all directions. I am curious to see your reaction!

          2. Lydia Potter says:

            I tried…. from the email anyway, and I didn’t work.
            I saw it in the WP reader, but I’ll see if I can find it again.

    That wasn’t too long. Do the people of Penrose know how you saved them?

    1. Benjamin says:

      Unfortunately, the giant had a relative that assumed his place on the throne.

    1. Benjamin says:

      Thank you Petra! Did you get a chance to see the chase footage?

      1. Petra says:

        Haha I did. You’re pretty good at these videos 😁

        1. Benjamin says:

          Thank you! I like writing better. Everything seems so personal and I can be more personable.
