dads going thru old pics. Dad is pulling up old pics. I've posted most of these before but, well, photobucket... so... The Loon. 21' mariner with twin 60's. Purportedly nothing on the willamette could keep up. The car is a 71 monte carlo, not sure what year pic taken. In front of our house on NE19th ave, Portland OR hat rock, OR. After the conversion of the Loon. 115 'Rude replaced the twin 60's. I think this was 74 because I know we had (and was my fist car) a 75 Caprice. The story is that the conversion was born form a fairly large repair to the hull after an incident on Roundbutte reservoir one early spring involving a large, unseen, ice sheet. And probably a bunch of beers.

and just so you know why I am what I am, this is my father. He turns 80 soon. Apparently he just wanted to surprise my step mom when she woke up.

uncle jack and mom. Mom hit an underwaters cable holding logs in place on the willamette on this trip. I remember it, I would have been about 5. Never will forget the blood soaked towel when they pulled up to the bank to take her to the hospital. .

He found another one. I remember that tent. On multi family trips we always had the biggest tent. He thinks Top Hat reservoir I think the boat was a jupiter and it has one of the twin 60's from above. The other came from uncle jacks boat when he upsized. That's mom waving.
