Two Nice Pictures Of Rachel Stewart
A very nice picture of Rachel smiling on our back porch
Moving the roast pig on July 4th 2011 At Deep Creek Lake In Far Western Maryland
The videos and photos were made by Rachel Stewart
July 4th 2011 At Deep Creek Lake Maryland
I went with Charlie to get the whole hog that was 5 feet long and
weighed 127 pounds. We went to the Butcher's outside Oakland, Maryland.
They brought it out on a pulley and wrapped it in plastic and put it in
the back of Charlie's SUV.
Back at his house we put the whole hog in a refrigerator in his garage. We stood him straight up.
He was cooked the next day for 7 hours over a wood fire and a motor driven turning spit.
On Sat. we saw a strange green paint like slick moving down the lake. It was bright green.
Rick swam out and brought back a small plastic bottle. The green dye had come from that small plastic bottle and made a bright green streak over 40 yards long. Charlie told us that fishermen use that green dye to dip their worms in and it makes them bright under water.
I came in the house one time on Sat. and in the living room everyone under the age of 50 was on some kind of electronic device. Cell phones, laptops. i pads, etc. One woman was on her laptop and cellphone at the same time and later I saw her doing the same thing while walking down two flights of steps from the deck to the ground which was also rocky and uneven.
Two teenage girls were sitting side by side on a couch with the their laptops open.
An middle aged man asked them "Are you two emailing each other so no one will know what you are talking about?"
They made no reply.
Here are some more photos from Deep Creek Lake 4th of July weekend 2011.

Swain's Lock And Rachel Stewart
I love the way the ground at Swains Lock slopes gently down toward the river. Huge oaks and sycamores shade a small campground and several picnic tables. In the spring, bluebells, trilliums, toothworts, and spring beauties blossom beneath them."

Swain's Lockhouse Restoration
The Friends have joined with the C&O Canal Trust, the C&O Canal Association and the National Park Service in a $300,000 project to restore Swain's lockhouse at Lock 21 of the canal. The lockhouse is in dire need of structural and architectural repairs in order to preserve the building. The restored lockhouse will be used for three purposes: a lockhouse in the Trust's Canal Quarters program; a part of the Canal Classrooms education program; and occasionally for exhibits by local photographers and artists.
Funds
raised by the Friends and the Association are targeted to furnishing
the restored lockhouse and building a lockkeeper's shanty next to the
lock, just as when the canal was operational.
The
fundraising by the Friends and the Association effort is being done in
memory of Rachel Stewart who passed away in 2014. Rachel was a member of
the Friends and a long time member of the Association, having served as
its President for three terms. To date the Friends and the Association
have raised over $10,500 towards our goal of $25,000.
