2004 – Our numbers grow by three. Again we deal with the twelve-foot tin rowboat with a ten horsepower engine. We take one of the three campsites on the island. We discover fire-spitting, cliff-jumping, and Victoria waterfalls where I almost become the first idol human sacrifice.
2005 – We go to a motorboat… 35 Horsepower… you can almost feel the wind in your hair. Blowing things up in the campfire becomes interesting. It rains almost the whole time and we are freezing. While our cloths are outside trying to dry in the soaking rain, we all gather in one small tent for warmth. We actually burn an entire tree… over the campfire of course… piece by piece. The first "Idol" is created in an attempt to stop the rain.
2006 – We get a bigger motorboat… 100 horsepower… something like that. We can now actually go somewhere… we can visit… and visit we do. We go to Blue Water Manor for afternoon drinks… We don’t tell Doc Rich… we leave him behind to guard the camp from wild college girls on location for “Girls Gone Wild – Lake George edition.” We secure the entire island for ourselves!
2007 – We get a bigger motorboat… the biggest they have… 135 horsepower. It’s my bachelor party weekend, and we add an additional day to the weekend. We stay at the Blue Water Manor for dinner and drinks on Thursday night. It is at this time that we first meet the hulking biker guy known only as “Bear.” With much tequila flowing during my party, Bear becomes somewhat fond of me… and somehow, some way… I become “Bear Cub.” We begin the “tequila tasting” competition. Fire walking and fire jumping become a common practice. Explosions become louder… we graduate to detonating kegs. Someone thinks it would be cool to bring dynamite the following year. Fishing becomes popular… water skiing is attempted.
2008 - We continue to get our 135 horsepower motorboat. We think we’re big cheese now… Joe brings a jet boat with 550 horsepower. Fishing is huge… as well as tubing and skiing. Staying at the Blue Water Manor for dinner and drinks on Thursday night becomes an annual event now. We continue the “tequila tasting” competition. Fire walking and fire jumping are less of an event due to all the water activities. Explosions are just as loud as the year before. Again, someone thinks it would be cool to bring dynamite the following year. It is the first time that I have noticed that many of our members sport heads that are completely clean shaven. The second "Idol" is created.
2009 – Larry got married. Instead of visiting the island, we went to Sammy’s… many of you probably remember “part” of the evening.
2010 – To be written at a later date.
