Tubing on the Manistee 2006

This was the 35th year we have been doing this....that is tubing or canoeing down the Manistee River and this year we had somewhere around 50 people. Each year this group of friends arrive at the CCC Bridge campground on the Manistee River for a few days of fun, family and a campfire that is enjoyed by all. The weather held and all of us had a wonderful time.

The only way to go!
Our friend Leslie and her niece and nephew

Two of the original founders ....the Ritchies
Our future tubers!!
Jack....My Grandson enjoying his mother and his aunt from Colorado.
As mentioned this trip has been going over 35 years with 4 generations now of my family. We have gone from camping in tents and misbehaving to motorhomes and still misbehaving with all having a great time. The river has had a lot of water flow and the times we have had will always be remembered.

Next stop for us is the FMCA convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
