35-some boats, including several rafts, had to put-in together. Surprisingly, there was no pandemonium, nor were any kayaks crushed. Photo by Don Kiely

Compared to last year's flood starge, the ledge was a pussycat much of this summer. I saw rocks I had never seen before! Photo by Don Kiely

Lunch was a busy place and way too much food!
