Sal’s Camp
Warba, Minnesota

Up at 7 am yesterday for a full day of scanning. Took a break around 9 am and fished off the dock for a bit caught- one Northern. Then called it a day around 5 and hit the lake, fished deep for Walleye but no action. Hooked a couple more Northerns- no Walleye to be found. Perhaps the Northerns have taken over this small Minnesota Lake. They sure are an aggressive fish, but not much of a fighter.
Was able to photograph Mr. Clarence Paul Eiynck Sr. of Warba, MN. this afternoon. Clarence is a local boy, grew up here and had a small farm, not far from the camp. A triple by pass, last year, put an end to that and now he helps out around the camp and is “retired”. Had some good stories about serving in the military in North Africa and Vietnam. Another good photograph.

Also photographed Mr. Dwight (Ike) King and his dog Sissy. Ike, as he is known to his friends and fellow campers run’s Sal’s when she is out on the road as a long haul trucker. Sissy and Henry became fast friends and ruled the camp.

Still amazes me how many folks just say sure when asked if I can photograph them. Not many even question why.

Almost have all the images scanned from March through July, hope to be able to finish them before we leave Sal’s. Then I just have the Polish Portfolio to scan and I’m not caught up. Now that we have the redesign done in the airstream I hope it will be easier to scan as we travel and not get as big a back log before we scan again.
