As I mentioned in prior posts, the main purpose of this blog was to keep Lake fans everywhere abreast of Lakeathon 2007. The postscripts are just extra info about me, my friends, my wonderful wife, Barbara, and the rest of our trip. I won't bore you with details, but here are a few shots of the rest of our trip.
