A group of our fellow boaters took a trip over the weekend of October 1st and 2nd from the Alton pool area to scenic Louisiana Missouri for the Port Arrowhead Cruise Club 2005 Fall Rendezvous.  Fourteen guests joined us on our journey, locking through the Winfield and Clarksville locks (some for the very first time) on our way to Two Rivers Marina

 

 

 

On our way we stopped at Timberlake Marina on the Winfield Pool for lunch and the opportunity to join in on a Turkey Shoot that was being held that day.  Our big winner was Teresa Dorlac, and hopefully her husband remembers how well she can shoot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

With two quick and uneventful lock passages, we were tying up at Two Rivers well ahead of schedule.  This gave us a great opportunity to take our time and relax dockside with some great appetizers and of course healthy libations.

Dinner was at the beautiful Lakeside Resort in rural Louisiana, where we all shared stories of our boating experiences and were also introduced to the infectious “happy clap”.  It’s important to note here that the “happy clap” is not an embarrassing disease, but an action of slapping your hands together in a cheerleader-type fashion.

A first for many of our group was the chance to stay overnight at Two Rivers Marina, as well as the first time some had ever stayed overnight on their boat! 

 

After a great breakfast buffet-style at the Eagle’s Nest in downtown Louisiana, we began our journey home.

 

Much of our trip back was leisurely, and we continued with good luck back through Locks 24 and 25 with no waiting.  

 

 

Before departing company, we met together again at the Cedar Hill Resort for a late lunch and a fond farewell.  We can’t wait to get together for the next one!
