Round Lake X 1994

Thompson (Paint Lake) Manitoba

Photos from the Round Lake Weekend 1994

Conference 2004: Jeff and Steve reminisced about the "ancient altar of the Gods" that the boys found in the forest while exploring. I think we even had some Sambuca with us.

The canoe races were 'way too much fun, and so was catching the odd fish (OK, I didn't catch any fish but Leen did, and I think Sean did as well).

Steve: John and Steve got 'way too drunk and swam in the lake in their underwear, then went to the wedding pissed. Steve cut himself shaving while drunk so badly that he was afraid to show Shelley.
Video: The Thompson Trip 1994 and the wedding of Andy and Heather Laine. Swan River stop for lunch. John and Trudy and The Pas. "I just want some breakfast!" Ponton and the llamas. The giddy hotel-room scene. The Thompson song. At the camping area (Paint Lake). Leen the narrator. Shelley getting ready for the wedding. The drunken cam.
The Suburban drive with chauffeur Jeff. At the wedding. Jeff is worried about John's drinking . Kevin and Sheila. Andy the Groom/Bartender. The bagpipers are playing - "Time to start curlin'!"

Jeff (Added 2005): Paint Lake. Suits, canoe races, singing in the shower, nuptials. Land the Many Lost Fishing Lures.
Steve (Added 2005): Enough tiem hs gone by that I can now confess: I got really drunk with John before Andy and Heather's wedding, and we were drunk through most of the ceremony. I told Shelley back then that I was not drunk, and I know that she believed me, for I am a crafty fellow. Also, the ranger-chick kept flirting with Murray, but Murray didn't notice. Luckily Jeff and I noticed, and let him know, over and over. That's what friends are for.
