Day 224

Lugnut in the front of a canoe at Melita Island! Unknown photographer. An arial view of Melita: Sunset over the Camp.  The Island was hit with a pine bug infestation and has had to cut down a lot of the trees (it was almost completely forested!), but they made the best of it and got […]

Day 141

A really fancy Order of the Arrow Lodge Flap (BSA) – in two parts! Of particular interest to me because I have seen the Flathead Lake Monster…I could have reached out and touched it!  And it was at an OA function (Wilgus Lodge, Western Montana Council, before the State Consolidated)! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Back in 1973 I earned my Eagle Rank in the Boy Scouts!  Here I am at the Eagle Recognition by the State Governor, Tom Judge, in 1974.  I am the handsome dude behind his left shoulder. Well, 49 years later (whenever the 18th of March, 2023 is!) Toots got to go to the same Eagle […]
