Camp High Rocks -Pictures from the summer of 1979More pictures of the drained lake & the regatta |
The docks were left high and dry |
There were lots of stumps in the lakebed - it was, after all, a forest before it was a lake. |
This view toward the field cabins shows the regatta starting line at center |
Dirt was moved from the hill above to strengthen the dam |
A crane, bulldozers, and trucks worked on the dam |
The new spillway cut, getting ready to pour concrete; this is the site of the current regattas |
Spectators lined the regatta course |
Troy Carmichael, Peter Lovett, Tommy Carbotti, Chris Smith, and Judson Gee watched at the finish line |
