DESCRIPTION
The 1978 Lake Sequoia Retreat summer camp. Caption on front: "The cross is wood, about 5 feet high, lashed to a rowboat floating on the lake. The lights are candles inside 1 gallon silver tin cans that are nailed to the cross. One year there was no rope, so speaker wire was used instead. It takes some effort to make this work. Lit candles are then placed on paper plates (using melted was to hold it upright) and floated out toward the cross from the shore by campers/"
