Kesslar Reunion, Skookumchuk

Aug 1-8

Springbrook Resort (Barnie & Marnie - owners)
Site #25 - $18. + $4. Tents, full hookup

We spent Friday night at Mike's in Medicine Hat and then headed to Skookumchuk on Saturday.  Charlie's, Shawn's (Brea 2 1/2 mon.) and John & Jill had already arrived on Friday.  The rest of the crew arrived Sat, except for Rhonda who came Wed.

Note: Jeff and Greg came.  Jeff had just returned from Montreal on his way back to Banff to resume work there.  We picked up Greg in SC.

Such a fun week!!  Believe it or not, Charlie had brought along his deep freeze filled with all the meat for the week.  (How the Kesslars camp!!)  We potlucked the rest of the food.

It rained when we arrived, but we had hot days (cool nights) the rest of the week at 28-34C.

We played a lot of Bocce ball, went to the beach at Wasa Lake and some went to the Hot Springs - both the natural ones and the one's at Fairmont.  Some went for go-cart rides and some headed over to Fort Steele. Jim, Janet, Larry and Phyllis golfed every morning and Ron went out twice.





We had huge bonfires (called a 'Jimmie' as Jim kept adding wood as Shannon chopped) and we got in trouble for being too loud a couple of times. It was a busy awesome week!

We left Saturday at 1:30 pm and dropped Jeff and all his belongings off at Banff, then headed on to Cochrane.
