Loch Ness

August 19, 2002


Sorry no pictures of Nessie. Even the tourist center there tells you that Nessie is a hoax. They have done repeated sonar sweeps of the lake and nothing showed up. But people still claim to see the monster.

The rumors started with the story of St. Comlumba in 565 AD. He repelled a savage sea monster as it attacked a monk.

The loch is shaped like a wedge. It is 700 feet deep just 70 feet from the its shore. Its bottom caverns extend down so far that no one has definitively determined how vast it really is.





There was a very pretty moon that night while we looked for somewhere to stay.

This was our room at a 70s ski lodge. Notice the dresser in the fireplace.

This is Gary's happy face. Never tell him to smile for a picture.
