LINER NOTES: I have fond memories of beating the crap out of Dana Shonk in cribbage while windbound for two days on an island just three miles from the outpost. Tom Seeley, 11/3/99 Tom may remember it that way, but as much as we all hate to admit it, we have never been able to beat Dana at cribbage. We did, however, beat the crap out of him on a regular basis, but it had nothing to do with cribbage....he was just fun to beat up. Doug Mosle, 3/14/00 I
also remember Bill Carpenter had brought a powerful radio with him and we
sat every day listening to a serial story on CBC about a polar bear who
had escaped captivity that they were tracking. We were coming on the
exciting conclusion when we had to depart for our next John
Lehrman killed a grouse with a slingshot and the two Tom Seeley, 11/3/99 Kopka gorge was amazing. We lowered canoes down a cliff, a cliff that was the portage trail. Paddling
out onto Lake Nipigon was the climax of the summer. There we watched the
eagles soar around Inner Barn Tim Woods, 11/4/99 The best part — besides my first real sternman's-canoe-dismount-with-one-foot-in-the- water-on-a-pebble — was passing the Outward Bound trip that was eating tube food while we were eating like kings. Ed Hopkins, 4/4/00
