Went to Lasing to visit Dan, Jodi, Max and Tyler. Got to see there new house and listen to dan all day on the radio. We had problems with the water there, we couldn't drink it , but we could shower in it. This was Beth and JC's first experience with the trip.

2009 Lake rathbun revisited

The return Lake Rathbun was great. We did eveything that makes the Kelley?Mcdaniel vacation great like the ball game, campfire janga and no drinking backgammon. Took a great trip on the pontoon boat on a very hot day. It was just what we needed.

2007 Field of dreams

Was this heaven? No, it was only Iowa. But we did get to see great things like the worlds largest Strawberry, the field of dreams and the spook cave. We also took campfire Jinga to new heights.

2000 Colorado

After a nice relaxing train ride to New mexico, We travel by car to meet up with Dan, Jodi and the kids for there first experience with the annual trip. Dan met us at the cabins with a Keg of beer and reminded us about the altitude. Took a train ride and went to the four corners. We also went to dan and Jodi's place for dinner one night.

1999 Lake Rathbun

Tim and Mary bring the pontoon boat which makes for some excellent tubing. Mike proudly dispays the loserville cosey and Brian throws tim in the lake.

1997 Buffalo National river

This year Tim tries to take us boating in the Desmoines River, but we pull him back to shore. Its the year we discover how fun tubing is. Mike gives out awards and the news letter sees color pictures.

1996 Porcpine Mnt./ Tomahawk Wi.

This is the year Ranger Smith threatens to seperate us. Mike winds up getting us kicked out of the state of Michigan. and Tim finds a shortcut to Wisconsin where we find a nice campground. Jeff gets hurt because Dawn never runs. Well you know the rest of the story.

1995 Land between the lakes Kentuckey

This was a week of camping on rock in 100 degree weather. Kooshball, night badmitton and the planetarium. Mike and Karen got there in the Barbie Mobile. Tim took us on a great boat ride and Jeff published the very first news letter.

1994 Pelican Rapids

This was an exciting year. It was the birth place of the ball game, the worlds biggest pelican and the head waters to the Mississippi.

1993 Lake Argle Illinois

In 1993 the Mcdaniel Family joined what was to become an annual trip. This year we decided on Lake Argle Illinois. This sight was chosen because that was has far has Tim would of probably have gone with his "no good brother inlaws from Illinios".

1992 Crawfordsville Indiana

This was the year of the first camping trip. It was going to be just a one time vacation, but with mike having so much fun on the canoe trip, we knew we had to do it again next. It was to get bigger and better.
