Before the lake, campfire was in the valley that became the manmade lake. Here is a picture of the "valley" before the lake was there. It is also the place where we had campfire from 1954 thru 1957. Here is the only campfire picture that Frank could find that was taken during that period. This seems to be a Jr. High or perhaps even a Junior week. He recognized only a couple of people. Judy Paine on the left and the Hendrix boy on the right.
