At the end of a long canoe-trip day, after
more than 17 miles down river thru rapids and rocks, after swimming
Mongaup and cliff jumping, nothing can be better than all-you-can-eat
Chinese food in Port Jervis . . .
We're sure there's a good reason for the hats,
but we can't imagine what it is.

Pat doesn't seem sure this whole

on the rockface, he got the hang of it.
Lucas, Beef, and Dan look up

as looking down, but everyone managed to make the climb. |
