We were going to be lock away for one hour in a room
looking for clues – solving riddles – finding keys –
and how to unlock the VAULT where all the money was !
We walked to the building and up the stairs
to the waiting room – we had a appointed time !
We were given instructions – some do’s and don’ts
WE HAD NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE
and were some what fortified with a few drinks !
We had no idea what we were getting into
HINT – on a 1 to 10 difficulty on your first try
pick a number under 3 !!!!!!
This was a NINE out of TEN !
Cindy – “WE GOT THIS” NOT !!!!!Buck and Sherry getting ready before we are locked in ! MAYBE SHOULD NOT OF HAD THAT LAST DRINK !!!!Sherry Buck Dottie Cindy inside the room before it is closed and locked and this picture before I was told “NO PICTURES” OOOPPPSSS !
This room is full of clues that no one has any idea what they mean !
And everything is locked –
And combination locks –
A lot of keys to be found –
and no idea what they unlock
because some are inside locked doors with combination locks!
And then the door shuts and locks and everyone scatters and starts looking not knowing just what they are looking for !
We had 60 minutes and a big clock that counted down !
Things were being found –
but no idea what they meant –
At least we were all locked in together
The group did find clues and were able to solve some problems
and some locks were opened
and some combinations solved
but time was running out
and this huge BANK VAULT door loomed on one side of the room.
Then the clock ran out –
Sirens began –
COPS were on their way
we had to open the door and clear the room in 15 seconds !

Cindy Buck Dottie Jim Tom Sherry We failed recovered NO MONEY heck – we still have no idea how to solve the clues except for one !
One clue – a picture – and a pair of binoculars –
We were told the picture was of a building down the street outside
You look at the small picture and see the date that it was built
Dottie & Jim and I go way back – I was there when they got married.
Jim & I worked together and played softball together in the mid 70’s.
We met Buck and Cindy through them and ended up moving
into their neighborhood next to them and Mike & Carol.
Everyone smile – Cindy – down – smile – Cindy down – look this way!
Believe it or not – this picture was not easy to get –
They all were doing something other than looking! Lol
Now tradition demands a little Fireball –
And Cindy and Sherry are in charge of that –
Calling the “SHOTS” so to speak!
Jimmy is the organizer –
placing them the perfect way! Lol
Now – a couple of us – Cindy – Mike and I –
like to cut it with Rum Chata !
I am not much for wine or the hard stuff
but I can do the shots this way!
Now Captain Mike told his son –
“THESE GUYS CAN DRINK” !
BUT – we were on the boat for a total of 8 hours –
and I could not even sip my beer –
The boat would make you chip your tooth!
Cindy Sherry Me Carol
We really did not have that much!
A lot of water –
some beer
and everyone laughing!
Sherry & Cindy
The boat was beautiful – powerful and lots of room.
A 300 HP. V8!
You would have to get it up to 15 MPH just to have it plane out!
Mike said the fastest he had ever gone
was somewhere South of 50!
I think at one time Jimmy got it up to 35 MPH!
And that my friends was as fast as I wanted to go!
Thank you Carol and Mike for the weekendThank you to our friends for being our friendsA lot of years here – friends!“The Johns – Lake Chautauqua – established 2019 “What friends meanDottie Cindy Sherry Carol “TURN THE MUSIC UP”!Captain and first mate!
We decided to attend this celebration at Lake Wales.
We love a parade – and they threw in the floats!
One of about a dozen floats and some were as big as this and others half this size but all were throwing beads! MADRE GRAS at Lake Wales , Florida!And we placed our chairs right on the curb in the grass and had a front row seat! The BEADS just came our direction and WE DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING to get them! LOL !!!!!Each float had a different theme and each float blasted their own music and each float parked side by side in the park each blasting their music! PARTY TIME!!!!!There was music there was laughter there were dancers there were cops there was booze OH I LOVED THIS PARADE Just sing it to Toby Keith! LOLA lot of work went into this on all of these floats!And of course for my wife a Float of a viking ship! Don’t know how the Swedes fit into all of this but there they were!The Grand Marshall I think!Lake Wales MADRE GRAS!They also had a stage with live bands and all the while in the park the floats had their own music and parties going on!The lake and pierThe entrance to the party by the lake before the parade after – we could barely make our way through here! Thousands of people converged and we managed to sit up our chairs to the left rear of the stage!A look back from the pier to the party like tents from Lake Wales.
