A few years before I came along.
Mom & Dad used to run out there w/ my Sisters and some family friends to do some camping / waterskiing.
Check out the rigs in the lot !
It's been forever since I've been to Black Meadow . . . I'm guessing that is/was the General Store.
My Mom and Dad built this boat together when they lived in Compton.
Dad bought the plans, built the 'Jig', and saved for the wood/fiberglass etc. Then saved and bought the outboard.
Money was tight back then, but it's cool that they were still able to make things happen. Mom even sewed the interior seat cushions.
They ran it for several years, and sold it to a friend who took it back to Arkansas, and then they bought a 'Glaspar'.
Those are my Sisters jumping in & out of the boat.
3 at a time was pretty cool back then ! . . . anyways, just thought I'd share a few oldies . . have a good weekend everyone !
