Hello Temagami lovers. I only just found this site while searching for images of Temagami.
I attended Windshift on Sharp Rock Inlet in the summers of 1968 & 1969. I had also visited the camp twice on earlier summers while my older brother was attending.
Reading through the trips section on this site has refreshed some of the most warming memories of a special time in my life.
I look forward to reading a lot more, and bringing some of my experiences into conversations.

Thanks Brian.
This is a fantastic site you have put together. I've been engrossed in Ottertooth for many hours the last couple days.
Google found me nice Windshift image, courtesy of Evan Ravitz.

I can't honestly say I remember Evan, but I do recognize the counseler, Jim, in the second photo down. Bill Delafield I remember as well. I think I probably looked just as young as the other kids in the photos, though I thought of myself as being much more mature |

I grew up in Garrett Park, MD.(The nation's first Nuclear Free Zone) It's a small community just west of Washington DC. My parents had seen an ad Ollie Quickmire placed in The Washington Post Magazine in the mid 60's. My brother spent 2 summers, perhaps 64 /65 there. My dad & I drove him up one season, and drove him back another, camping along the way.
I was lucky enough to fly in to Sharp Rock with Dad & stay in Ollie's cabin a few days. I was probably 11 or 12 at the time. I loved it so much my parents let me attend Windshift as soon as I was old enough.
My hardest & favorite trip was to Florence. At one time I had geological survey maps with all my trips marked, but those maps are long gone. I'm trying to recall the route by reading this site. I've ordered Hap's books, both the original (used) and the current.
