What Happened?
Here's what your fellow COLA Club members had to say about some of the events last month:
Stone Mountain Camping What a great trip! So WONDERFUL to camp again. Yes, it was a bit chilly the first night, and there was some excessive snoring...but the weather in the day was PERFECT, the food delicious and the company impeccable. The mountain is gorgeous, the hike difficult but not too long, and the waterfalls were spectacular. Just remember folks, when the sign says "careful, rocks are slippery" believe it, don't test it out for yourself. Love that Ranger!
Walk/Run/Bike What a gorgeous morning. Nothing could stop us, not even the construction fence or yellow tape. Sam did his good deed for the day by fishing a woman's hat out of the canal after the wind took it. We reconvened at Lizard's Thicket for breakfast afterward. I guess we didn't smell too badly cause all the tables around us were full.
COLA/CHOA Event Let me start by saying that CHOA members are wimps! I don't know what happened to most of them after the hockey game, but they sure didn't go to Double Door. For pre-game we met at Jackelope's for some mixing, mingling, and fried pickles. I don't know that I'd try them again, but they are definitely a different taste. It was a great evening, everyone enjoyed themselves (even with the Stadium Seat Police in full force), and Delta Moon, who played at Double Door, rocked the house. I have it on good authority that no mannequins were harmed during the show. The hockey game was good too. Blood makes the ice slick!
Skydiving We have seven members/guests that have now dropped out of the air from 14,000 feet and lived to tell about it. All did wonderful and had a great thrill; no face plants on the landings. I think everyone said they would do it again and some of us have already purchased our next jump. We will plan this again later this summer along with a campout and cookout for those who want to come spectate. It is fun to watch people appear from the sky above.
