McIver and Scott.
The
7th annual trip with all of
the core group except "Eddy."
He was unable to make it because
we had to
change
weekends for the trip because
of poor snow conditions. We
also had a new man to the group,
Scott.
McIver
and Scott were coming in from
Minnesota so we all metin the
UP and drove to Ravenswood Lodge
out on Pt. Abbaye, along the
shores of Lake Superior, .
The
next morning we headed to our
destination in Houghton. The
trail was hard to get to from
where we
were
because of the poor conditions.
Once we were on the trail the
contions were mainly good.
We
ended up getting to Houghton
fairly early so we headed up
to Eagle River. It was dark
when we reached
Eagle
River so we decided to stay
in Eagle River that night. Luckily
we had stayed at the Eagle River
Inn in the
past
and the owner remembered us
and what fine guests we were
and was glad to have us.
We helped them find water leak
in one of their rooms the last
time we were there.
That
night the ritual game of "Mexican"
was played. There were some
violations, some more flagrant
than others.
The
judge handed out the proper
penalty. Tomba got the majority
of the fines.
The
trip back to Ravenswood Lodge
was a nice ride the next day.
We traveled about 335 miles
round trip and the majority
of the trails were in good condition.
While
dinner was being prepared the
second night of "Mexican"
resumed. |
