PAST WEEKEND PHOTOS

SATURDAY AFTERNOON WE WENT TO A GRADUATION PARTY AT LAKEHURST
DAM.     ABOVE, J.C. AND DARLENE COX.     A  COUPLE-OR-MORE YEARS AGO,  THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AT LAKEHURST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD.   TO THE UPPER RIGHT, ALONG THE CLIFF,  FOR MANY YEARS WAS THE HOME OF POST 75 AMERICAN LEGION (THEY BUILDT IT) AND THEN LATER IT WAS MADE INTO THE LAKEHURST SUPPER CLUB.    RED  HENTON AND HIS
FAMILY RAN IT FOR AWHILE.   THEN IN THE 80'S IT HAD A FIRE THAT BURNED IT TO THE GROUND.     THE DEBRIS STAYED THERE  UNTIL J.C. BOUGHT IT
AND CLEANED IT UP.    NOW, THE BASEMENT IS STILL THERE,  THERE IS
A NEW SEWER SYSTEM, THE PART YOU SEE ABOVE IS AN OPEN-AIR
GATHERING PLACE THE CAN BE RENTED FOR PARTIES.    IT HAS TWO LARGE
NEW RESTROOMS AND IT OVERLOOKS THE  MAQUOKETA RIVER.
ON THE BACK SIDE, BEHIND THE ABOVE, ARE CAMPING SITES.
NOW, ROOM FOR 7 AND MORE WILL BE MADE LATER.    ALL 7 ARE RESERVED
FOR THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
