| Bluestone Lake, W. Virginia, Aug. It rained every day except one, but it shore was purdy. |
|
| We woke each morning to fog on the mountaintops. Emily developed a weird hillbilly gait and couldn't straighten out until about October. |
 |
| Brother-in-law Scott (Frazier) spent a lot of time enjoying this view. That jet boat just would not cooperate. |
 |
| The Bluestone River empties into the New River a couple miles upstream from the dam. The view beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. |
 |
| Rick caught a rabbit near the campsite. Emily wanted to keep it; he wanted to eat it. Whatever happened to that bun, Em? |
 |
| Jackson Scott Frazier enjoys the view from atop Aunt Lol. |
 |
| Rick and Scott finish double gainers (with a tuck) from a ledge about 100 feet above Bluestone Lake. |
 |
| Wrestling to seize a fallen cheese curl, Emily and Aunt Missy tumble off the deck as we pass under the bridge. We make them desperately swim after the boat for the next two hours. That'll teach 'em. |
 |
| Demonstrating the photographic genius she's famous for, Laura's mom captures a rare shot of Rick diving into Laura's soda. Nice photo, Ruth! |
 |
| In the last few placid moments of their vacation, Laura, Ruth and Don quietly enjoy the view of the dam from "topside" as Rick revs the pontoon boat to ramming speed. |
