| The guys on the crew were
fine college kids, standup comedians, and a lot of fun. We dated some local girls who were
wonderful ladies.
We were loaned a boat and skis by a guy staying at the barracks.
|
 |
| At 15 hp, the ski rig was
underpowered for my weight. With my total lack of experience, I
had some problems when my turn came. |
 |
| We tried pulling me up
from the water, followed by jumping off the dock. Then the other
engineering marvels calculated that I could be pulled if the boat got up
a full head of steam and I was yanked off the
diving board. |
|
| But their calculations
were off. |
 |
| But it was fun trying. |
 |
| The following weekend, we
tried it again, and the boat was able to pull me up after all. |
 |
| Didn't know who these
adorable little kids were, but they were so cute I had to take their
picture. They'd be 65-67 years old now. |
 |
| A survey group Sunday outing
including our boss, boss's wife and baby. This is Crystal Lake
behind Happy's Inn south of Libby.
Our crew went skinny dipping here one dark night. They had an
offshore floating dock and diving board. What fun!!! Then
a car showed up and we had to stay in the water until one of us could
sneak out and drive our car down next to the water, blocking the view of
us escaping.
