Welcome... Before we start, I would like to introduce the players on this trip.
There were five of us, and I will let the first five pictures serve as most of the
introduction. The people we went with were the Gibsons. We have traveled with the
Gibson family before and always have a good time. Chris grew up with my wife Sue in
Florida. After High School, both of the girls fell in love, married into the military,
and went their seperate ways. The retirement of Dave (The other Husband) and I, left both
families beached in Virginia Beach Virginia, living within 2 or three miles of each other.
This tour is about forty two pages long, and contains three pictures
per page. Limiting the number of pictures helps out those who are visiting us using a dial
up connection. Some of the pictures were blury, but were included for content. Your eyes are
not going bad. Very soon, the narrative will stop, and the pictures will continue. I would
like to take this time to insert a few remarks. The wild life was abundant during this trip.
Especially the deer. There were so many, If we had pictures of them all this would quickly
become the never ending story. They were not afraid of humans and let us come quite close.
There was no zoo, or petting area. The deer you see are wild, and the pictures were not Altered.
The Bird(s) you will see, seemed to follow us all over the lake. Although I'm sure there was
more than one bird, it was like having a friend with us. The Memorial you will see later on,
is the D-Day Memorial. It was worth the small donation we paid to park and enter.
First there is me. Scott Malkin. Since I'm the one who put the pictures up, I figured I might as well take
the honors.
My job was towing the canoes five hours to the lake; off loading the canoes and parking
the trailer until it was time to load up and go home.

Next, but not second place in my heart; My Wonderful Wife Susan. Her job was Malkin family Logistics,
inter-family coordinator, and navigation to and from the cabin where we stayed.

Next is Dave Gibson. He procured the trailer for the canoe trip, and was in charge of the Gibson family
Logistics.
