Camping at the mouth of the Brule River at Lake Superior. We stayed for 10 days. Had a kerosene heater in the tent. We fished, hunted, explored, and just had a great time

Another view of our camp at Lake Superior. when we returned to this spot 3 years later the county had bulldozed a road to it and it was covered up with people having picnics and family outings. When we first came in there was no road and we had to cut a few trees to get the 1937 Ford in.

 | Another improvised Deer Hunting Camp. This was the quick camp. Just open the doors and set the cots up. Then drape a canvas over the opening to keep the rain out.
|
 | Fishing with a Bow in the Horicon Marsh. We would tape a spinning reel to the front of a bow and shave an arrow thinner on the end so that when it hit something the shaft would float free of the tip.

 | A Ranger station at Pembine, Wisconsin after a bear hunt. This was a state sponsored bear hunt.I think they were so prevalent that they were becoming a nuisance.

A bow hunting club during deer season in Wisconsin. All there were at that time were wooden long bows. I never heard of a compound bow until years later.

One of our Bikes back then. Remember that Harleys had the shift next to the gas tank. In the evening about 50-100 bikes would gather on Memorial Drive which was between the city and Lake Michigan. There were beaches along the east side and grassy picnic areas on the other side. After a while they all would start and head for the Beer Joints on the edge of Milwaukee.
