Our camp out in July at Merrill Campground near Eagle Lake, California was held from July 9th through July 13th. Our trail bosses Mike, Kelvin, Roger, and Karen did a great job of mixing games, good food and good conversation during the campout.
We played two tournament games one of cribbage and one of mexican train, which aroused the competitive spirit in everyone and the winners got to take home a little cash.
When we were not playing games we were eating or visiting. The first evening was spent enjoying an old fashion Root Beer Float Social. Later meals during the week were pot luck with everyone bringing some type of specialty dish. During one meal Marty served up a Dutch Oven Chile that was out of this world.
Two evenings were spent playing Bean Bag Baseball with the women playing against the men. Both games were spirited and both sides gave a good account of themselves.
Throughout the week lots of informal games of cribbage, pinochle, hand and foot, mexican train, and rummikub were played.
Most mornings found many club members going for long walks through the beautiful forest. It was a great way to recharge one's soul.
Breaking with tradition we had our monthly club meeting during the middle of the week instead of at the end of week. This allowed everyone the freedom of packing up and leaving whenever they wanted to on the last day of the campout.
AGAIN A BIG THANK YOU TO MIKE, KELVIN, ROGER AND KAREN FOR A JOB WELL DONE, WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME.
