Re: I love it
You young thing! Sometimes I complain about the shorts girls wear today but then I see these pics and say, yikes! What were we thinking with the sun and practically no sunscreen back then! But you guys did love 'em!
Now, I won't tell you what I was doing in 1974, but it involved filling a diaper...
Thanks for sharing the photos.
With all due respects, however, may the 1970s wardrobes RIP. ;)
Cheers,
Sarah

Re: I love the historic element
Well Sarah there are some of us on SP who actually remember the mid 70s (LOL)....and I never really liked the bell bottoms myself, especially my pink ones (what was I thinking?) Although the embroidery on the pants has come back once or twice.
P.S Every time I see your profile pic I think it's a diamond ring sitting in the dirt! You'd think I'd learn!
I love seeing those pictures. Maybe our paths crossed? I was going to boys camp (Cheley) there in the summers of 1973 and 1974, and was in a lot of the same places you were. Brings back the memories. Oh, and we didn't even have the luxury of ensolite ground pads. We just slept on the ground.

Re: Thank you for that
You're welcome! We might have hiked many of the same trails those years. I flew in from Maryland to a camp for a little conditioning then off on the trails for about two weeks in 1973 and 1975.
Mostly I remember the perfect weather and what fun it was to hike up and see snow in July.
Thank you for your kind words! I was just happy to find these slides and get help identifying the places I had been so long ago so it's great to hear your thoughts.

I'm not very good attelling jokes regarding age. Ooooh, let's see!
I was 18 years old in '75, and you're definitely right about the shorts!!! :) AND that's no joke!

Re: I'm not very good atOh Larry! I could have been your babysitter! But the one good thing about growing older is that things equal out.....
And thanks for looking at my old pictures (and probably laughing a bit too!) Happy Thanksgiving!
