August 30 2015 - CAL Bear weekend plus one Duck

This weekend we hosted a bit of a reunion with some of Jim's dorm mates from CAL (and one Oregon Duck).  Attending were Kevin, Kate, and their little Duck - Sarah, Dave, Karen, Jim, Laura, Karlyn, Bruce and Sue.

It was great seeing Karlyn again after such a long time.  Somewhere along the line we lost touch - glad she and her boyfriend Bruce were able to attend.  Dave and Karen brought along Kona (our Dog - Quincy's girlfriend) which made it nice for all of us since the dogs played and played and gave us room to visit.

On Saturday, though who arrived by lunch, took a hike down to the North Fork of the North Fork Falls, then went into the backyard and played Frisbee Golf, Horse Shoes other assorted games.  We had a great BBQ dinner and lots of talk and wine at night.

On Sunday, Karlyn and Bruce had to leave early to catch a skipe from Karlyn's daughter and that was followed by everyone else leaving by lunchtime - so no Kayaking or swimming at the lake (ALAS).

We also got to set up the portable - now the Lodge Game room by moving in the Ping Pong table and setting up the air hockey and dart board.  There will be a lot of customization to the new Game room in the future.  We have already cleaned the interior (still need to clean the rug) and plan to paint the inside soon.  In the future, we will add a lot of wood (to give it that rustic bent that we like), paint the exterior to match the lodge, add a bar, a wood burning stove, add some windows and move the door.  Then maybe someday we will add a deck. Lots more projects in store for us.

Fall is quickly approaching at the Gap and we are hoping for lots of rain storms and snow.  Keeps your skis crossed!
