Update on Stupidity

So, my wife and I went to the Ozarks over the weekend to visit her hillbilly parents (okay, her folks are relatively sophisticated, but she's first generation out of the hills despite this fact). We took a day trip over to Ha Ha Tonka State Park, an amazing example of limestone karst geology and home of a ruined mansion, dubbed the Ha Ha Tonka Castle, a formerly magnificent structure and its supporting structures constructed from native stone and destroyed in a fire about 80 years ago.

We did some Geocaching, and naturally I took my new stereographic camera, because this would be an awesome place to do some 3d shots. I shot up a whole roll...wonderful, wonderful views and architectural photos...but when I got the camera back to her folks' place, *I couldn't figure out how to rewind the film* in this 50 year old camera.

I ended up destroying the roll. Sob. However, after getting back to civilization, I managed to use the 'Net to figure out how to rewind the film. I still feel incredibly frigging stupid, though.
