Swapping stories in the rain, but dry on the porch at Fred & Maxines.
23 made the trip and enjoyed the hospitality of Fred & Maxine at their cottage near Thessalon. Thanks Fred & Maxine, it was great!. See Scott's comments below and thanks to him for the pics.
As Washington said, before crossing the Potomac, "Get in the boats men."
The Fun Day at Fred's Cottage was a wet one, but we all enjoyed getting together and sharing stories and having a heart warming laugh or two. There were at least 28 people plus and 2 couples who hiked with the Club a long time ago. They had stories of their own to share about the Hiking Club. Fred's Brother & his wife, who have a cottage down The road, stopped by. During the on- again- off -again rain showers a few of us had fun outdoors. Earlier in the day, Fred & Joy braved the cold waters of Lake Huron & the white caps and paddled their kayaks in & out of various coves. While up on land just before dinner, Jean Guy, & Stan Kanafa challenged Rae & Joy to a friendly game of horseshoe's. Dinner was just super, Fred cooked up his famous hamburgers & sausages, and everyone brought their own famous salads & deserts. Dianne & Stan Kanafa made sure everyone was feeling happy & relaxed, with some of their own home made wine. Rain or shine, the Coureurs de Bois Hiking Club members sure enjoy their potlucks.
