Peace River Trip

April 27 ~ 29, 2001

This year's Peace River Trip was unique in that there was not much of a river.  Due to the current drought in South Florida the water level was very low - to the point that at some places there really was no river.  Did this stop our hearty crew - NO WAY.  Here are some pictures.

The group is THRILLED - time to out up tents...

or sit on your butt and THINK about putting up a tent!

SUCCESS!  Benthe has a tent up!  (Doubt she did it!)

Julie and Anna do the "Macarana", and Max is the judge.

Ever see the movie "Deliverance"??  This is Bruce's reenactment

Saturday morning - yes we really do have canoes!

Sometimes there is no river!

And other times there is a river - the great camping spot with a lot of deep water

Put the tents up again

Benthe admiring her tent again - still don't think she knows how to do it!
