More old pictures So. St. Johns

My friend came across these pictures that were taken of us in the late 70s as close as we can guess. These were on Buldozer Canal on the South end of the St. Johns just after the drugs and booze took over and they burned the two story cabin and was either the last or next to last camp we made there. We didn't want the exposure or the kids to see it either.

Damn ! WERE WE EVER THAT YOUNG ?? We all had hair then too !

I'm the bearded good looking one with the shades and blue checkered flannel shirt. Theres only some of us left from these photos. The old man is one of the pioneers of this part of the country that had moved down from the heart of the Okeefenokee Swamp where the family owned a whole island, and still does I believe.

I wanted to hunt with a beagle because the short legged beagles arent fast enough to catch or panic the deer but they will move them around and keep them just moving.

Im not calling any names but mine out of deference to those in the pictures.

In those days we didn't take much with us camping, we didn't have much to take anyway, but we had the best of times. Killed a dear here and there, but not the last of the great white hunters, we just loved being outdoors and out of town, and sharing the friendships. These were the times that made memories we will never forget.
 
The way our home is growing out of control, those old photos
and the memory's may be all we have left one of these days.
Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us.
 
Dang it, Bear ..... you was kind of a studly type feller back then.
Plain old Ho cakes, fried over an open fire with a little bacon grease ? That and a piece of fish ? Listen.
Better than a steak in the best steakhouse I ever sat in.

Don't you love old photos, and wonder where the time went since ? Geez.
Like K-mac said, thanks for sharing. :)

I was lookin in the mirror this morning after looking at those pictures and I noticed something has got in my hair. I'm going to try some paint remover first and see if it gets it out. I have no clue what it is or where I got into it. It even seems to be on my new beard I'm "trying" to grow as well. Must be something I got into recently though, just can't figure out what.

I think I must have gained about 5 pounds since that photo as well.

I need to get myself together and get back in the shape I was in then so I can enjoy my boat when I get er dun. I been a bit lax on fitness since I got home.

I noticed the tiny narrow seat in the boat must be made for a youth seat or something, its a little bit tight on me.

Ahhh the memories

Hocakes and Specks indeed. Anything better would be illegal for sure and for certain.

Hey, time changes a few things. Some better, some worse.

I heard somebody say the other day that "You should never apologize for anything that made you smile."
There is wisdom in that.
 
Was one of the best shirts I ever had. Heavy nuff to be a jacket almost but the flannel was so fomfortable on the boat. Havent seen one in years. Sure would like to replace it.

Studly indeed, Whitebear! Rrrrrouwr!

I had to pull out this old one of me on Spade Island, early 1980's. I couldn't figure out what looked so strange about this photo, but it seems like my middle is all pinched in....oh, I know - I had a waistline!
