Here are a few photos from the Wacko blitz through Wisconsin and Door County: Yellow Lady Slipper at the Bailey Harbor Range Lights. What WACKOs are willing to go through to see the best view of Old Bailey. Jeff Meyer getting down to get the best shot. A group shot on board the Wed evening Fireboat tour of the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. Another group shot at Sherwood Point. Digger digs into his 'Blue Moon' ice cream cone. Dinner at Andres in Sturgeon Bay. Great Walleye! On the way back to Rosemont - our group stopped at North Point in Milwaukee. [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 07-10-2002).]

John, thanks for the photos. I wish I could have joined you all. It looks like you all had a great time.
Isn't the last picture of the Milwaukee Pierlight. I believe that North Point is closer to the water tower and is white with the keepers quarters close by.

You are right Judy. That red tower is Milwaukee pierlight, not North Point light.

And is that "Two Rivers" that Jeff Meyers is prostrate in front of?

JOhn, Thanks for sharing those great pictures with us. Really enjoyed seeing them. I hope to make one of the larger reunions sometime in the future. Fun looking group of people and nice to put faces to names on the forum. Bert

Thanks for posting the pictures John, they look great. They brought back some fun memories of the trip. Yes, that is "Two Rivers" light that Jeff went to the mat for. I would love to see what kind of shot he was able to get. Take care,

Great pictures John! What memories! What a group!
I still haven't figured out why Herm didn't drive his PT Cruiser back that watery gravel driveway? Was it that bad? (LOL)

Nice pics John!
How about identifying those people? That way we can know who we are talking to.

In the Milwaukee Pier light photo, isn't that Kay Toth rather than Ruthie between Bryan and Carol?
nah, it's Ruthie - Gary & Kay were off having a very special, private tour of the Old Port Washington Light. Dave

If you are in this photo and would like to have a free print of it, please email me with your mailing address. Before departing on this trip, I had a computer crash and lost all my emails and my address book. webmaster@lighthousekeepers.com [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 07-11-2002).]

John,
Thanks for posting the photo that Jeff took. You just never know what kind of shot you will get unless you try different things. I know, because some of my "prone" shots turned out real interesting.
