All-American 4th of July
How was yours? Post some pics if you've got 'em.
 I spent mine on Madeline Island in Lake Superior, Wisconsin. We've been hanging out up here since the early '70s, at various times my dad has owned a house and other land and businesses here. It's a special place. I spread some of his ashes on the island as per his wishes. It was a great weekend. I wish that my fireworks pics turned out better, (great show from the dock of Beach Club), but here are some from the parade and leaving on the ferry:

What's the deal with all the people in the first couple photos wearing deer masks; local tradition or something?

 And I was thinking maybe you were from the area and knew something about the deer masks. Maybe it was just a project they did at the school. Thanks, though

Very cool. We spent two days on the lake, shooting fireworks at night, and drinking a lot of beer.

Since I've got a few people looking, anyone that can tell me about this good-looking SOB? It's obviously a CC fiberglass ski boat but anything else? How old, etc.? Thx

So Studebaker made slightly modified Studebakers (cosmetic mods only) with the Packard name on them... only for a year or two. Then Studebaker went under. |

Thanks for sharing the pics with us, Denis. From time to time I miss that part of the country.

I don't know for sure but I've looked at a lot of boats, that looks early to mid 1990s to me Denis. CC makes a nice looking boat.

I went to the California Wolf Center in Julian and then to my favorite Sichuan place in San Diego.

^^^Looks to me more like pleasure boat than ski but something maybe more serious under the bonnet as it seems to be thru transom exhaust poking out da back...........

Would that hull be painted or is that color-impregnated fiberglass?
