Panama Canal Zone  



I lived in the Panama Canal Zone from 1975 to 1985. It was like owning a piece of heaven. During that time I neither missed nor returned to the states. While living there I tried SCUBA, sailed, owned a horse, trekked in the jungle, danced and partied and, of course, transited the Panama Canal a few times.  Since I worked for Department of Defense, I was exposed to lots of attractive men, so that was an extra bonus. Now it is not the place I knew and loved, so I will never go back.  I do have my memories, and 500+ slides and photos. 

People ask me why I left it if I loved it so much, but I knew when it was time for me to move on, and sadly in life you can never go back to "what was", so I will never return. Those of us who lived in the Canal Zone were blessed. Unless you experienced it, you can not understand it.  Occasionally, I still dream of Panama even after 20 years. It’s in my  soul.   

I still have over 400 slides that I need sort and post.  - in time, all in good time.  Below are link to my Life in the Canal Zone from 1975 -1985.  Check out a the Panama Canal's Web Cams .
