This is another 35mm photo of an old photo. This is my dad’s dad circa 1965, I have his same name!! The hunting camp behind him had a large potbelly stove for both heating and cooking. The cabin had at least two sets of bunk beds that could sleep several hunters and beer drinkers too.
There was a smaller cabin up the hill behind whoever the photographer was which was torn up by bears at least once in it’s time that I can remember. Many years later, our family would ride snowmobiles into this area and stop at the old cabin near Denton Crick. This is Roscommon county near Houghton Lake, Michigan.
Sign me up for the beer drinking!
You and me both Richard! 😂👍🏻🍻
Ah, yes, could very well be an IH. And love your memory of the Bear Claw! Those memories are priceless.
Thanks, and those memories just never fade thank God! They form bits of who we are as individuals. 🥰
Nice photo of your namesake, John! Is that a Jeep wagon that the deer is draped across?
Thanks! The first name I thought of is IH, or International Harvester. I’m really not sure, could well be a jeep. I do remember riding in a four wheel drive deep into these woods to get to the camp. There was a branch always hanging down in one place that would scratch the top of the truck which my sister and I called the Bear Claw!
