Almanor Diary, Day 2--Sunday, July, 27, 2003

We spent most of Sunday morning on the Tomasin boat with Morgan skiing on doubles, Drew wake boarding and Jack tubing with Mike Tomasin; Tomasin and I slalomed. It was first of three straight hot days with calm water well into the afternoon.




In the early afternoon, we loaded up all three boats and headed for Hamburger Hut for lunch. Afterwards, Wallen and I carried down a ping pong table from Bachman's trailer. Although I was initially skeptical, the ping pong table got a lot of use over the week, particularly by Mike and Jack.

The Dorado Inn changed hands about three years ago and the new owners, Cal and Cheryl, have started a tradition of having a cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Greg and Dean Chabrier joined the group for cocktails with their twin one year girls!

During dinner, Drew started to complain that his stomach was brothering him. He ended up getting sick about 10:00 p.m. Sunday night. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of our problems...
