Parties at Trout Camp

Parties at Trout Camp in Suches, Georgia

Parties at Trout Camp went on for days. By the time Trout Camp ended we just wanted to go home and sleep in a soft, clean bed.

Looked like a warm day

Everyone had bare arms and t-shirts. What a fine day to party and play horseshoes.

People at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

People crowded up and down the river.

We visited other camps and they visited us. People came from all over -- New York, California, Florida, and Canada to socialize and go trout fishing in North Georgia.

Someone else was also taking pictures.

This was another of those guys from Atlanta. He wore bright orange clothes, flip flops, and had an expensive bunch of camera equipment.

Trees at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

Thank God for trees

Brian, Gomer, and Bill used the trees for balance. I think they all had one too many for this time of day.

Mud at Trout Camp in the North Georgia Mountains

We got used to the mud.

Tarps helped keep the horseshoe pits dry and gave us a place to party out of the rain.

Looked like Jeffery was paying attention.

Jeffery and other men were warming by the fire. We had campfires going up and down the river. The campfires kept us warm and helped dry out the ground.

People got tired of building fires in that old fireplace so after a while, it just sat there.
