Thanks to all attended “Just Because” Party at McMens!

Good Times at Nov 7, 2014 party at the Parrish House near the O’Kane Fire Pits.  LCR Broke out… Ann (my wife) was the evil instigator… She kept running around saying 12 minutes till L,C,R!  Those who had no clue what it was were soon hooked.

FUNNY! CROSSING DEVIL’S LAKE VIDEO –Ski to Elk Lake IV FEB, 2013

Something different for our 4th Annual Ski to Elk Lake Trip (2/2/13).  We noticed ski tracks alongside & over Devil’s Lake.  John opted to give it a go, soon a few other dodo birds flocked to their fearless leader…Getting down the hill on cross country skis however, proved quite a daunting task. Good times!
