During the weekend of July 19th-22nd, 35 happy campers enjoyed sunny, warm weather on beautiful waterfront campsites on Cranberry Lake. As usual, many people helped in the preparation of great meals starting with Thursday nights’ marinated chicken breast to Saturday night's dinner, featuring happy-hour Margaritas, and a full dinner including rib steak, wild rice, French bread, Caesar salad, and a fresh fruit salad.

Saturday's, Sept. 15th, post-party concluded the event for this year. After the terrible events on Sept. 11th, the timing of the post-party could not have been better. By this time, I think, everyone needed a diversion, and what better activity than sharing a get-together with friends.

My thanks to all who helped me make this event a smashing success, particularly all who hauled supplies to Cranberry, those who worked on meal committees, and to Barb, the trip treasurer, who also offered her house for the post-party.

Those interested in going to Cranberry Lake NEXT year should mark their calendars now. I have already reserved the same beautiful, waterfront campsites for the weekend of July 18th-21st. On a final note, should anyone have any classic or compromising pictures from this year's Cranberry lake trip, I would appreciate any extra prints that I could turn in to the club historian.
