Model Ships is what Don Campbell from Gaylord, Michigan also enjoys., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Toy Boats- Todays picture shows another interest I have and that is boats. I am a boatnerd for sure. Deb and I have camped at the Soo Locks for over 25 years and I always had a interest in boats. In high school I remember in art class painting a large oil painting of a tugboat and it still hangs in my old room upstairs on the farm.
I built one great lakes freighter model that is about 6 feet long and plan to finish it this year. I would also like to build a large scale tugboat for a future project. Each time we go camping at the Soo Locks I get the urges to build models of ships.
You guessed it this weekend we are camping at the Soo and as I write this blog two ships are passing by our campsite.
Deb and I have had so many fun times camping over the years.
These days it isn’t even so much about the boats or the Soo Locks , instead it is more about the many memories we have had together here including many of those years of Nicole growing up having fun here too.
It was just last year Nicole told us she really missed going to the Soo Locks.
We’re hoping when her baby gets old enough we will all come up here together to make some brand new memories together.
Walking and Running – Even on vacation this weekend Deb and I are up early each morning running and walking along the river enjoying the boats as they glide through the water.
I have always said less is more and this is another example of what I mean.
Have a great Sunday !!
