Patoka Lake Summit 2007



The 2007 Patoka Lake Summit included 11 of us split up between two cabins at Patoka 4 Season's Resort in Eckerty, Indiana.









As soon as we unpacked, we headed down to the pool which was just a short walk from the cabins. Outside of our shaded and air conditioned cabins, it was about 95 degrees.







Friday all 11
of us enjoyed a day of boating, skiing, inner tubing, fishing and swimming at Patoka Lake. It's a huge lake and we practically had it to ourselves the entire day.





One evening we walked downhill through the woods behind the cabin and finally found the lake shore for some fishing and rock skipping.


The problem with walking downhill is eventually you have to walk back uphill. By the time we left, it was just dark enough to make walking through the woods too challenging so we took the direct path back to the cabins. The hill was about a 75 degree climb and very difficult for most of us. When we got back to the pool area, Tim suggested next year's summit be full of physical fitness events at a fat farm. The group next to us took offense -- they thought we were talking about them.




Bruce was the big winner at the stuffed animal grab game in the game room off of the pool deck. Over the course of the trip he won over 30 animals. The grand prize was the orange octopus.
