On the River

  The antics never stop

The patient whose hand I had to suture.

Taking a cooling break

This is where I wanted to camp

This is where we camped, up Flat Rock Creek as far as the canoes would go.  We camped on a ledge up the hill.

Making camp.  The large rock was where Petrokowski slept after his tent collapsed in the middle of the night.

Wally Mahoney.   It's early yet. . .

More of the ledge gang.

This ledge was only about ten feet wide

Love in a canoe

More love in a canoe

   Still more love in a canoe.  Lucky Petrokowski. Lucky in love only.  He spent a couple of days in the hospital and missed a week's work.  He's the one who didn't bring toilet paper with him when he went to the woods to do his business.  "These leaves are handy, I'll just use these."
