I've noticed that most of us post current photos in the Photo Of The Day thread, so I'm starting this thread where we can post older ones. I don't think it has to be too old, just not current. It doesn't need to be on a Thursday either, just anytime you come across a nice photo that you'd like to share. I think we all like photos so the more the better. If Glenn would rather keep all photos in one thread that's OK too.

Allagash River, 1967 at Inlet site, Round Pond. PICT0035.jpegGroup shelter made from 4 US Army surplus shelter halves. Note the classic crossed paddles and the prominent flask of Jim Beam. Scoutmaster Doug liked a shot in his tea during our evening meal!

Makeshift sailing rig from Army ponchos, and an Army backboard brace. Me handling the mainsheet.

Our topo maps taped together. No other maps were available at the time. Me pointing to the start at Telos Lake. My older brother apparently brushing accumulated trip grit from his head!

Our fearless leader keeping up appearances on Chamberlain Lake. He shaved every day, and usually his head too!

Nehasane Lodge original1.jpeg

Nehasane Forest Lodge on Adirondack Lake Lila when I was there some time before 1979 when it was razed by the state because the land it was on became a designated wilderness where no man made strructures were allowed. Not knowing that, my wife wanted to visit the "Great Camp" the next season. We learned that spring before we left that it was destroyed just two weeks prior, but we went anyway. Today you can drive into the lake shore, but at that time it was a five mile hike in on the road not yet opened to vehicles.

The view we had upon arrival:

Old buddy Ted getting his first taste of whitewater using his OT Pack on the Middle Yough…the smile says it all. He was hooked and went on to be a WW Instructor. (year is lost in a cloud of smoke)
