The big day is here (Feather, Bag, Varmit, Wiz, Lance, & Brother Dave who is behind Lance, while everyone wears their painter hats from painting houses that summer, under boss Bogie.) |
Launch site: waiting for the rest of the Crew to arrive That's Bogie, Wiz and Lance leaning on Bogie's Duster. We meet at Smiley's house, the guy who rents the canoes (he was always smiling), then ride in his van (behind Bogie's Duster) to put in the river. Our starting/ending points have been forgotten, though possibly we started at Port Jervis and ended at Smith- field Beach. Also our longest trip, 4 days/3 nights (see map pg.) |
Getting our gear together Varmit is in foreground (wearing his yellow Isshin Kempo t-shirt). Clete and Howie are also discernible. |
On the river Lance & Brett in lead canoe w/Dave & Bag coming up strong behind them

Pit stop (with Feather, Howie, Wiz, Roast, Howie, Harry, Hogie, & Tier in photo) |
Disaster on the Delaware Can't tell who's in the swamped canoe, but they hit a rock, and the fact they're wearing water life vests indicates they must be Crew members who partcipated in less of our more dangerous activities. |
