On the River

  The antics never stop

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.

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.”
