Saturday was lovely, we enjoyed a ferry ride to California on the far side of the lake. There is a small Indian casino complete with a restaurant on the water and we all had a nice meal. We teamed up with Alison Chalker & Linda Evans (Classic #5), Ethel Bailey & Barb Ziegler (Classic #25), and Janice Welsh (Classic #48).
Virginia and Dennis Harmer met us after lunch and offered us a ride back to Havasu on their boat and all but Elaine left with them. She opted to stay and play the slots for a bit, and try to win some money to pay for avgas for their race plane.
Sunday started off with a mandatory briefing for all race contestants, then off to shop for incidentals for the race.
Dinner at the London Bridge Hotel was great, with a lot of high energy in the ballroom. we sat in awe as guest speaker Capt. Jennifer Wade, USAF spoke about her career as an F-16 jet pilot serving in Afghanistan. Just awesome, hearing first-hand the hurdles and barriers she had to overcome to be accepted as an equal on the flight deck. great job, Jennifer! She is not only a beautiful, classy lady but has such a wonderful outlook and sense of humor.
