These photos are from a late summer fishing trip to northern Ontario that Heck, Wobker and Marden took in 1966. Steve hauled a fishing boat behind his mauve Lemans. Other than the drive (before I-35 made it a pretty easy trip), highlights included camping at a sewage treatment plant in Black Duck, MN, where a thunderstorm knocked over our heavy canvas tent; camping next to a blueberry patch on an island at the lake to avoid bears only to discover that our island was a peninsula; and motoring to the far end of the 5 mile long lake where the pull cord on the motor broke, leaving us a long slog back to camp into the wind with only 2 short paddles .

Road Trips
Pi Doots took many road trips, both during the school year and summer break. Rush parties were popular destinations during the summer. Wobs and Marden made several memorable drives from western Kansas to parties in Wichita, Hutchinson and points east.
