Road Ramblings by Keith Olcha, Maverick Region President
A
utomobile Magazine, in their October issue, has a feature called “The 100 Coolest Cars.” I guess they chose to call them cool cars as opposed to best selling, fastest, most-popular, or greatest because they wanted to show that the list was subjective and based on an opinion poll of their editors and writers. They appear to describe cool as that rare combination of looks, performance, and style that affect our emotional side and leave those lasting impressions from our youth or other experiences with these cars. These were road cars by the way, not racing cars, in case you are wondering. To give you a flavor of this list right off the bat, the #1 car is the 1963-1967 Corvette Sting Ray. Number 35 is the Ferrari 275 GTB (which was the predecessor to the Daytona). Number 100 is the VW Microbus. Anyone can deliver any of those three to my garage and they can stay. There are many cool cars in between that make up the 100, and personally, except for the “Duke’s of Hazard” General Lee at number 58 (and a few others), I like the list.
editor Jean Jennings formerly Jean Lindamood, and sister of Paul Liniert). But that’s my problem not yours… So is there a Porsche that is not cool? Tony Soprano called the Boxster a “Porsche that wears panties.” I’m guessing that was a reference to it’s perceived inferiority to the 911 or to higher horsepower cars. This comment; from a fat guy who drives a Suburban through New Jersey and kills people for a living? 914s weren’t that cool when they were new, and now they are a cult car. Same with 928s. What about the first 924s? Now there is a topic for debate. They may not have been cool before and I’m not so sure they are now. RS Americas were nothing until about 5 years ago, and now they are cool. Everyone wants a 1978-1989 911 Carrera or SC, even non-Porschephiles. So what do I think the coolest Porsche is? None of the above. I think the coolest Baddest Porsche is the 1983-1989 911 (930) Turbo. Wide hips, fender flares, Fuchs wheels, awesome rear spoiler. Killer flat-six sound. Make mine a 1989 US version with the 5-speed, Guards Red, blasting Sammy Hagar’s “I can’t drive 55.” I love it.
... blasting Sammy Hagar’s “I can’t drive 55” ... So how did the Porsches fare? Quite well, about as well as Ferrari did. The first Porsche to appear is ranked number 53, and it is the iconic 356. The next at number 48 was the 959. Number 43 is the 550 Spyder made famous by James Dean. James (never Jimmy- he’s the sausage guy) drove his 550 into oblivion in 1955. Can you imagine what it must have been like to be James Dean? Four movies and you’re as big as Elvis? I’d take either of their hair. Number 40 was the Carrera GT. The last Porsche made it all the way down to number 2 behind the Corvette. It is just called “The Porsche 911.” They chose the generic 911 name because they said the car line was homogeneous and it’s too hard to pick the best vintage 911, as there were so many years of great ones. Then they stole a line from Bruce Anderson and said the newest 911 (Type 997) is probably the best, since each new model series is better than the last. So there you have it, one magazine’s view of how Porsches stack up against the coolest cars of all time. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Automobile Magazine. I get it because my kids have magazine fund-raisers and I can get it cheap and the company donates a percentage back to the school. I don’t like David E. Davis Jr. (and now his flunky 5

Curves Ahead by Matt Platts, Slipstream Editor ow, what a month this has been for me! In the last 30 days, I’ve moved into a new house, saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, broke up with my girlfriend, and spent four days in the hospital with an intestinal infection that was originally diagnosed as appendicitis. The week that was spent mostly in the hospital was the week that I had set aside to work on this issue of Slipstream. Needless to say, that didn’t happen, that’s the key reason that you are receiving this issue quite a bit later than we had intended.

I hope you enjoyed last month’s issue, the variety of articles was very diverse and I think made good reading. This month contains some good reading as well, but it’s a little more focused on our typical region activities. Wendy Shoffit wrote two articles about two different post-Parade events that many Maverick Region members were able to participate in. Then, we have articles about the September Autocross and Time Trial weekend at Mineral Wells. Kevin Hardison took some great pictures (as usual), so be sure to check them out. You will also find the 2nd article in a series about restoring an early 911T by Charles Freeman. Charles really gets his hands dirty this time!
Advertising Editor of Slipstream. Teri has been a valuable member of the Slipstream team for quite some time now, but she has accepted a role on the National Parade Staff and wants to focus more on that. Thanks for all your hard work Teri! Replacing Teri will be Dennis Chamberlain of Happy Hour fame. Along with his other Happy Hour responsibilities, Dennis has also been making the Happy Hour ad that you see in Slipstream for several months. You’ll see more of his artistic abilities as he takes over the design of our region’s event ads, beginning with the Founders Day ad on page 3. Speaking of Founders Day, the date is quickly approaching. This year’s celebration will be on Friday, November 12th. The location chosen for this year’s party is the centrally located Hackberry Country Club in Irving and will feature live musical entertainment as well as the always-popular silent auction. Check the ad on page 3 and make sure to get your RSVP in to Mimi Spreen by the deadline, which is November 8th. Finally, make sure to check out the Maverick Region 2005 club officer’s ballot on page 19. You can mail your ballot to our club secretary, Mimi Spreen, or you can vote in-person at the Founders Day Banquet. As they have been saying quite a bit on TV lately, make sure to get out and vote!
Teri Davis has decided to hand over the reigns as Event
Maverick Minutes by Mimi Spreen The September board meeting was held on Tuesday, September 7, at Boardwalk Porsche. In attendance were Bob Knight, Wendy and Jasmine Shoffit, Noby Takahashi, Joe McGlohen, Mike Brodigan, Bill Miller, Lanean Hughes, Mimi Spreen, and Dennis Chamberlain. The meeting was called to order at 6:49pm. Mike Brodigan - Advertising invoices went out with Wendy's help. One person dropped, 2 ads reduced in size and 3 new ads were added. Dennis Chamberlain- Happy Hour at Champps had sort of a low turnout, possible because of weather. September’s Happy Hour is at Bahama Breeze, Thursday, the 9th at 6:30PM. October’s Happy Hour will be at Speed Zone on the 14th at 6:30PM. Bill Miller - Time Trial had 27 people and went well, Autocross had 45 people. Working on getting trophies ordered. Motion made to give $2000.00 for Autocross and Time Trial awards for year end. Motion seconded and passed. Two more Autocrosses and 1 more Time Trial are left for this year. Timing and scoring chair for 2005 needs to be filled. Joe McGlohen - Nominating committee has four candidates in mind for the four Board members who will be leaving their positions at the end of this year. Bob Knight - We still have money 8
Wendy Shoffit - The Parade picture CD and DVD are still available for sale $15.00 for CD and $20.00 for DVD. We have raised about $1000.00 for Hope. Wendy as Teri Davis - Teri has accepted a National Parade position and feels she'll be too busy in that position to hold any position in Maverick. She suggested taking a year off from any Rallyies, since they weren't very well attended anyway. Will discuss Rally situation with next year's president. Copy machine bought from Parade will be at Wendy's. She will either keep for Maverick Region or buy from Club and use personally. Wendy as Matt Platts - Needs regular columns from people and photos for various events. Lanean Hughes - Hope update: Looking at lot and doing soil analysis. Will go to architect to do drawing and have available for people to look at during Founder's Day social. Mimi Spreen - Founder's Day is FRIDAY, November 12 at Hackberry Country Club, 1801 Royal Lane, Irving. Noby Takahashi - Insurance is being taken care of for 2 DE's and 2 Tours. Noby as Keith Olcha - Need a list of chair positions needing to be filled. Motion made to adjourn meeting at 7:54 pm. Motion seconded and passed.

our membership. There is something for everybody. I think the same could be said for our Maverick Region, wouldn’t you? We had some new members, including John Strakele (98 C4S) and James Weber (02 911 Turbo). And everyone was also delighted to see Alan Lage, who was in town for a visit. Franck Parachini also (1991 911) paid us a visit. On October 14, we’ll be eating hamburgers and driving the little cars at Speed Zone, at Walnut Hill and I35. Hope to see you there.

e returned to Champps, an A d d i s o n sports bar/restaurant, on Thursday, August 19. It’s a perfect place to be during the Olympics, and purely by chance, we have Happy Hour Crew: Jay Easley, ended up at Champps Tinker Edwards and Dennis Chamberlain during both the winter and the summer Olympics. During that last winter Olympics, we watched the big screens as Michelle Kwan stumbled in the final ice-skating competition. This time, we got to watch Carly Patterson winning the gymnastics competition while we discussed the extraordinary balance of our Porsche cars. Perhaps the best thing about Champps is the fact that its menu Bob Lewis and Alan Lage is as diverse as

Post Parade Social at Big Tom’s BBQ by Wendy Shoffit “How are you enjoying all your free time now that Parade is over?”
Tom” with a New York accent, but Frank assured me that the original Tom was a southerner who had a good thing going. And boy was he right! A handful of us (about 20) were there to enjoy the outstanding barbeque and more side dishes than you can imagine. Frank opened up especially for us, since the restaurant isn’t normally open on Saturday nights. He treated us like royalty. He had loads of beef, chicken, sausage, and ribs ready for us. While french fries weren’t originally in the plan, Frank quickly fired up the fryer and started some for the kids…even some of the grown up ones. To finish things off, he had homemade peach cobbler for dessert. Although the sunshine through the big pane window made it a little toasty inside, the warm welcome and sunny hospitality helped us keep our cool. We talked Parade, shared stories, oogled the trophies, and had a generally grand time. I think I’ll change my route home…
After the laughter subsides, I reply, “Are you kidding?” I’ve had this conversation countless times since July 11th. Since that day, I’ve been helping finalize the Parade accounting, mailing goodie bags, shirts, and name badges, compiling the Parade photos for CD and DVD project I decided to do for charity, recording them, printing them, and mailing them…personally being involved with the school’s PTO, being Jasmine’s Girl Scout leader and her room mom… shuttling her to gymnastics and horseback riding lessons and so on… WHAT free time?

Alas, there have been some moments of bliss since the big event. One such time was the dinner we had at Big Tom’s BBQ. Yeah, I know it was way back at the end of July, but it was great and needs to be heralded! It’s not surprising that I’d never been there before…Watauga and 377 aren’t exactly on my way home. Owner, Frank Labriola, had contacted Keith Olcha back in April, offering up his restaurant for a Maverick Region event. He and his wife, Kim, are transplanted PCA members straight from Long Island. I’d never heard a “Big

y son David and I enjoyed the 350 mile drive to Mineral Wells from Houston on Friday. We made it to the new Best Western, easily the nicest place we have ever stayed in Mineral Wells, just before 10 PM. We didn’t actually see the dawn Saturday because of the heavy cloud cover and rain, but were happy to meet up with some Maverick Region members in the lobby around 7 AM. We checked the weather RADAR on the computer in the lobby and saw that the rain was going to be with us for most of the morning. We headed out to Walmart for plastic bags and a new rain suit for #1 son, having forgotten his, and then to the site where we scoped out a nice spot that wasn’t flooding and dropped the trailer. Soon, we were being invited to breakfast by our Maverick Region hosts to a place down the road in Cool, Texas. Off we went in a parade of Porsches and tow vehicles to wait out the rain. The first spot was closed, but someone knew of another out of the way place a few miles further, so away we went. Breakfast never tasted so good and the conversation was interesting. Impromptu social events are often more fun than planned ones. After a few hours relaxing, we headed back out to the track. Once back on site, the competitors were offered the option of a full event ending late or a shortened event ending at the normal time. Most of us were ready to hang out all day, so it was decided to do a full event with 2 sets of 1+3 laps split by a working session followed by a final set of 1+4 laps. By the time the course was set up and the drivers meeting finished, most of the rain had stopped. We figured the one set of 4 laps later in the day would be faster than the ones we were about to do in the full wet. Around noon the first car headed out on track and sloshed through the course. As expected, the times for the first two sets of runs were not that spectacular with some of the usual suspects leading the time charts – Chuck Machala, James Shoffit, and David Hedderick among them. A dry line never came in for the first group and the track was soon turned over to the second group. This second group also had some fast drivers who immediately put some distance between themselves and

the whole first run group in the ever-improving conditions, Cody Sears, Mark Steele, and Rick Randall among the fastest. A fully dry line developed part way through the second set of 3 runs and Richard Diller ventured out for the first time in his nicely prepared 911S. He immediately went to the head of the class as he threatened to break into the 80-second mark while the rest were just looking for the lower 80’s. After the second set of 3 runs, a fully dry line had developed. A decision was made to leave the second group out for their set of 4 laps before doing the worker change, thus saving about 20 minutes. Those of us in the first run group hoped the rain would hold off until we also had a chance to run in the dry, which it did.
... the first car headed out on the track and sloshed through the course ... In these dry (on line, anyway) conditions, Richard Diller solidified his overall and class 16M lead as he broke into the 79 second bracket. Mark Steele in a 993 put up the second best time for the moment with a very fast 83.19 to take the win in 13M. Those of us working on course were becoming a little worried as our best times in most cases were in the high 80’s. Everybody in this run group looked fast as even the street tire classes, led by Tom Snodgrass, broke into the 87 second bracket. This was faster than most of the first group competitors and Tom handily won S6M in his Yellow Boxster. After the worker change, the first group got their only shot at a dry track and had to get it done. Some fast times were immediately laid down as Cody Sears put up an 85 second run, fastest of all 914’s, to take 2M. Chuck Machala in a Boxster ran a low 83 second run to take the 6M class lead and nip 13M winner Mark Steele by 7/100 of a second. James Shoffit in his 911 SC and David Hedderick in a Boxster were among the last cars out in the heat and both also laid down 83 second runs. James took 5M with an 83.6 and David had a low 83.1 to nip Chuck in 6M by just 7/1000 of a second. In other classes, Mike Lockas took 3M in a 944, Wendy Shoffit had the top ladies time of the day and won 5L in a 911 SC, with Shelly Burbank taking S6L in a 911. Darron Shaffer won 7M in a Boxster S and Bryan Bell won 9M in a 996. Rounding out the 914 classes, Kevin Hardison won 10M and Joel Nannis 11M. The final two social events of the day were setting up the next day’s AX course followed by dinner at Mineral Wells’ finest Italian Restaurant. We had a great time and really enjoyed the Maverick Region hospitality. We look forward to coming back again next year and would like to invite everyone to come on down to the next Lone Star Region October 10th AX at Gulf Greyhound Park.

Autocross #5 at Mineral Wells By Robyn Howard penalty. Did I push the car as hard as I could? Not even close. Did I feel I needed to drive beyond my skill? No. I felt I had found a reason to have fun with a bunch a great people. I have to give Mike credit, he hung in with me and helped whittle down my run times. I can still hear him, turn right, turn left, go faster, go faster. By the end of the day, I wished I could have four more runs. If you have not been to an autocross, you need to go and see how much fun they are. I know I have a lot to learn about my car and I plan to attend the autocross schools next year. But just from this one autocross I have a new respect for my 944’s capabilities. I have to give Mike Lockas my gratitude for his excellent instruction and patience. Also thanks to the many people who offered to help me. I’m looking forward to the next autocross and see many more in my future. To change the subject a bit, you may have heard that I am now the Maverick Region “Goodie Store” person. If you would like to order something from the Goodie Store, just send me an email at Robyn.Howard@century21.com. I’ll be happy to let you know what types of goodies we have, and a list of which events I will be attending to show off (and sell!) our very cool Maverick Region paraphernalia.

ell known to anyone who has attended a drivers meeting at a Maverick Region autocross, some lucky person will get to write an article for Slipstream. I was that lucky person at the Aug. 29th autocross at Mineral Wells. This was going to be my first autocross. What makes your first autocross special is the range of emotions experienced. In the morning I felt anxious as I walked Chuck Machala’s interpretation of the European rally “The Spa”. This course was huge.
... By the end of the day, I wished I could have four more runs ...

My run group was assigned to work first. This gave me plenty of time to crank up the tension. Soon my group’s turn to drive arrived. As I waited for my instructor Mike Lockas to finish his runs, the butterflies in my stomach were doing loops. The two main fears I had were that I would get lost on this huge course, and my time would be embarrassingly slow. After the first set of runs my emotion went to exhilaration. This is something I’m going to like a lot. Yes, my first run was slow, but by the last run I had taken 30 seconds off my time. I did miss a gate resulting in a DNF and a cone

Cold Elvis by Hugh Kelly
M
ost of you don't know me, but I teach a night class at the local college. Four more than 3 years now, twice a week I take the same route at the same time. Part of this route is a farm/market road to a state highway.At the intersection of the two,I stop,look left and right,then turn left onto the highway. This is in the town of Cold, Texas (the name has been changed to preserve anonymity). Cold doesn't have a grocery, stoplight, or library. But, Cold does have a police officer, whom I'd never had the pleasure of meeting. We'll call him Officer Cold. I get to see Officer Cold regularly, sitting with radar behind an old gas station sign. The posted speed on the highway is 70 mph but, reduces to 40 mph in Cold. I haven't done my investigation yet, but Cold is probably about 3/4 mile in length. Well, Wednesday evening I stop, I look, wait for a west bound car, see Officer Cold across the street, turn left (east) and head down the highway. About a mile out of town, here comes Officer Cold. I slow my 944 Turbo to about 55 and pull onto the shoulder to let Officer Cold pass, but he pulls in behind me. Surprise on my face! This must be some kind of mistake. Then I think... “No way he spotted my inspection being out, what could this be for? I bet he sees my inspection now, damn!” I shut the car down, and watch in the left mirror as Officer Cold approaches. What's this? It's not Officer Cold at all, IT’S ELVIS PRESLEY! The chubby Elvis, but Elvis, none the less. The police uniform is too tight. Fortunately, no sequins. Coming from under some sort of multi-color ball cap is an enormous amount of pitch black hair. Obviously, the pomp doesn't stay up under that hat. Then I realize it's not only head hair as I spot the biggest,bushy black chops I've ever seen.They're almost to his chin! And just to top things off, Elvis sunglasses! Yes, it is true, I've been pulled over by Elvis Presley!
18
Naturally, as he approaches I have several thoughts... candid camera? Some new TV gag show? But why Cold? Should I acknowledge him as Officer Presley,Officer Cold,or just officer? I suspect he's going to ask for my autograph... me having just been quoted in the Dallas paper a couple of weeks ago, maybe that's it... I should probably ask for his, too...you understand,so he doesn't feel bad.But,what if Elvis doesn't want to be recognized! We all know Elvis has been on the lam for many years, he might like this continued anonymity in Cold. If this is the case and I acknowledge him as Elvis, he might write me up for more violations.What to do???? I decide to pretend I don't notice.He does in fact ask for my autograph, he even has a special autograph book for me to sign. He took down everything about me and my Porsche... I guess so he doesn't forget. Turns out he must be a Porsche fan, he took pictures of my Porsche with his Elvis radar gun from the time I stopped until I got out of range,outside town.He was very impressed... he said my Porsche accelerates very fast. In fact, Elvis said it accelerates too fast. He said it accelerated to 64 mph before I got out of town. Elvis also wrote I should carry an insurance card, that had not already expired. Later,I arrive at my class and speak to one of my students.This student is a 16-year veteran of the local police department. I told him I got a ticket from Elvis Presley... he laughed and said, "so you drive to school through Cold." Turns out Elvis is famous in Police circles throughout parts of Texas. By day, Officer Cold is famous for his ticket writing talents and by night, he tours the local clubs as Elvis Presley! This is one ticket we will be fighting! Surely, a judge will believe a middle-aged, over-weight, Professional Engineer, part-time college instructor over a small town police officer that thinks he's Elvis. Don't we have pills for that now?

Early 911 Restoration: No. 2 by Charles Freeman E-Z out screw removers trying to extract the remaining threads. More tools to the rescue. Since the inside was pretty much done I wanted to tackle the exterior. As I looked at the cracked black paint on the hood and fenders I just couldn’t resist finding out what was underneath. I investigated several techniques to remove the paint. Chemical dipping the entire car would require removal of every attached component from the car (I mean everything)! Then I would have to get a trailer to haul it to the facility (I don’t even have a truck). The next option is sandblasting. This requires somewhat less amount of teardown but I would still have to tow it to the facility. The final option was chemical stripping in my garage and hand sanding. I opted for this route as the price was right.

elcome back. Here I am again to tell you how my ’73.5 911 T Targa restoration is going. I am deep into what I will find out is the easy part. I removed all of the carpet and interior padding. I am not sure if the carpet was ever replaced but it sure smelled bad. It had somewhat of a cross between mildew and wet dog. Since I wasn’t using the carpet again I just ripped it out, then removed the retaining trim later. I was now in for a rude awakening. All of the little trim screws on the doorsill had some surface rust. Should be easy to remove, right? Most of the screws either snapped off or stripped out when I tried to unscrew them. Here is the first purchase of tools, a lot of drill bits. I had to drill each of them out. Under the carpet was a sort of padding I think made out of horsehair impregnated with an asphalt-like substance. What a mess! Some of the underpadding was in good condition so I put it into the attic. Turns out to be a great home for field mice.
Removing paint is a time-intensive process...
I purchased a gallon of aircraft stripper from a local paint company for $30. I proceeded to apply the toxic goo to the hood (while wearing a respirator and heavy rubber gloves). After a few minutes I could see the paint bubbling up on the surface. It was a fairly simple matter of scraping the paint off with a spatula. This left large blobs of paint and stripper on the floor of my garage. The process works very well but the 911 does not have flat panels so using a flat spatula left paint on the curved sections. Thus I had to follow this up with a lot of sanding. More tools and materials to the rescue (sandpaper and abrasive disks).
Next time; more teardown fun!

I then worked on removing the seats. Time and rust had taken their toll on the seats and all of the bolts. In my initial inspection of the car I found a rust hole in the floorpan under the drivers seat. It turns out there was a matching hole going through the seat vinyl and frame right above the hole in the floorpan. I am guessing that the Targa top was leaking in this location which led to these holes. The frame of the driver’s seat was pretty rusted, so I just tore the seat apart. Literally, I had to break the seat into pieces as I couldn’t get to the bolts holding it in place. I had to cut the seat frame with a jig saw then grab with a vise-grip and jerk the seat apart. The passenger side was just as bad. This took me at least 10 hours worth of work, just to remove two seats. I threw both of them in the trash. Now I wish I had saved the headrests as I might have been able to sell them, oh well. Trying to remove the tracks for the seats was another problem. The bolts were rusted and the allen wrench stripped the heads out. I was using a cheap set of allen wrenches from a wholesale company. Most every time I use them they just round over. I have since purchased a good set of Craftsman and they have held fine, but cost twice as much. Anyway, I drilled out each of the bolts and tried to extract them with an E-Z out. I then broke 3 sets of

Post Parade Weekend at Possom Kingdom Lake by Wendy Shoffit Bambina and Jan Mayo were victorious and were treated to a really interesting calculator/alarm clock thingy with a “robotic” opening mechanism. After a few minutes of sabotaging Jan’s prize to have the alarm ring at 4 AM, I felt vindicated. How did you sleep that night, Jan? *wink* *wink* Shortly after our quiz, we all drove down to the boat dock where Teri had set up a party boat rental. Although Bill and Nancy Dugan couldn’t spend the whole weekend with us, they came out with their son, Eric, so that Bill could be our boat captain. The plan was for us to get on the boat and drive it out to this little lunch spot on the lake. Well, a slight miscommunication, an unexpected rain storm, and a tardy previous rental group changed our plans

ave you ever been to Possum Kingdom Lake? If you haven’t, you need to add it to your list of vacation destinations. It’s about 75 miles west of Fort Worth, but well worth the drive. To quote the Possum Kingdom Chamber of Commerce website (www.possumkingdomlake.com), “If you're looking for a haven from the hurry and stress of life, come enjoy the beautiful outdoors at Possum Kingdom Lake. With more than 65 miles of crystal clear blue water, and a variety of activities and fishing, Possum Kingdom has developed the reputation of being one of the best get away spots in all of the Southwest. Wake up to spectacular sunrises from one of our many lodges, stay in a cozy cabin or a luxury condo, or just pitch a tent at one of our campsites.”

A small group of us chose this special location to spend a weekend in early August (7th – 8th). Several years ago, Teri Davis had chosen the Cliffs Resort at Possum Kingdom for a fun summer Maverick Region “Round Up” weekend. We had so much fun that we decided it would be the perfect getaway after Parade. We were lucky that Teri was willing to put in some overtime to help arrange this for us. Rather than organize loads of activities like she did last time (including a concours and a rally), Teri chose a much more relaxing schedule this time. Starting Friday night, we had a very casual meet and greet at the Resort pool. Once the sun went down, Teri broke out the glow-in-the-dark neon bracelets and necklaces. Who would have thought that we could have so much fun with a little light stick? Maybe some of us needed this break more than we thought! As part of our weekend package, we were treated on Saturday morning to a delightful breakfast buffet to get us going for the day. Soon after breakfast, Charlie Davis, counterpart to Teri, challenged us with a group tech quiz, covering PCA and Maverick Region history trivia. Thank goodness it was a group format, because otherwise I would have *really* stunk! As it was, the team of Alan and Linda

somewhat. Instead of boating to lunch, we drove around the lake to get there. The burgers there were great, but I wouldn’t recommend ordering the enchiladas, as they took a full 15 minutes more to be served. If you want to order fried pickles, make sure you call ahead of time to make sure they’re not out (*sniffle*). The company was grand, though, and helped make the rest of the waiting go by quicker. A short drive back to the boat dock and we were ready to go. Captain Bill took 2 groups across and around the lake to Hell’s Gate, where we enjoyed swimming off the boat in incredibly clear water. I think most of Bill’s enjoyment came from crossing other boats’ wakes, splashing enough lake water on his passengers to keep us cool. That WAS the intention, wasn’t it, Bill? Those of us who weren’t on the boat had plenty of other options. James and Jasmine decided to rent a kayak for awhile and saw the lake at a little slower speed. Dave & Jean Frick’s grandson, Wayne, had a blast swimming in the area near the beach. Eric also had fun renting a jet ski. Perhaps the most fun for me was the watermelon seed spitting contest. Yeah, I know I’m a little twisted… After our water fun, it was back to the resort for their seafood buffet. Alan Bambina seemed to be in heaven with the Lobster, shrimp, and various choices of fish. Although I don’t care for seafood in general, I still found plenty to fill me up, including some tasty prime rib. Oh yeah… and the catfish I tried wasn’t too bad!

Sunday morning came with everyone feeling more relaxed. We had plenty of time to pack up, check out, and enjoy the vistas one more time. James, Jasmine, and I drove around the area a little while and saw some of the spectacular homes nestled in the trees. Later that morning, Charlie led us on an interesting (and spirited) drive from the resort to a little cafĂŠ in Strawn where we enjoyed our final meal together as a group. Thanks so much to Teri and Charlie for their hard work putting this weekend together. Also thanks to Bill and Nancy for making the drive in their car to drive the boat for us. After the weekend, we were relaxed and ready to take on the next challenge.
