Billed
as the ''Old
Boys'' houseboat trip, this was our second trip to Lake Mead, Nevada. It could become an annual event, considering how much fun
everyone says they had on the first two trips. Three of the Five Eagle Scout Amigos were able to
make it this year: Danny, Sanjay and Luke. Amy returned, luckily, despite her friend
backing out at the last minute. Dave led the parents contingent, which included
Vino and Daisy, and Warren. Daisy's attendance would seem to set a precedent for
the inclusion of moms, though it isn't clear what will happen next year. Dogs, in
any case, seem to be entirely welcome. New kid Tahoe did his best to measure up
to the steep expectations set by his predecessor Whitney.
This year, we left from
Irvine in the Aleshire's RV on Thursday the 31st of August , and stayed out on
the lake until Mon 4 Sept, taking advantage of the long Labor Day weekend.
