More Manteca

 Here's Lori, we're back at the Manteca Waterslides

one last camping trip in the fall before it's too cold to slide.

You can see that in just a few months' time,

it became really popular!  There was some kind of contest.... but I don't recall. 

Participation flags??

Time to go tubin'

You can see where the waterslide lands in the lake in the distance.

Oakwood Lake

Let the Summer Begin!!

Here's our new tent trailer -- a better alternative

to actually sleeping on the ground in a tent!

Note Buffy's backside as she snoops!!

After a few trips out, we had it down to a science to set up

and break down camp - we all had our jobs, which made it so simple!

Our "inaugural trip" was to Manteca Waterslides!  

Also known as Oakwood Lake, it opened in 1974.

Backwards or forwards, oh what fun to slide in the water!

Oh the many hours we spent sliding,

or just floating on an innertube in the lake.

We enjoyed this place a lot!

(As you'll see from more and more photos.... lol)
