NOTE: Rick & Ann would like to thank everyone who has played and supported Survivor since it's inception in 2006. Without your enthusiasm it would not be the success it is.
Teams:
Ken's Blue Camo - "Patriots", won Survivor 2017 and were awarded their shirts in the color of safety orange.
John's Green Camo - "Bare Buns", came in second, followed by Tim's Tan Camo - "Inglorious Bastards", and Cathy's Zebra - "Strip Naked", was in 4th place.
Bare Buns was in the lead until points were tripled in the last game putting the Patriots into the winning position.
SURVIVOR T-shirts were given out during Octoberfest Weekend. If you haven't picked up yours see Ann L. when you are here.
There will be a Survivor Booth during the Arts Festival with white T-shirts for sale for $10 each. Sizes include - L & XL and come without a date. These are for anyone who would like to have a shirt.
All proceeds will go to the Activity Fund. Look for the Survivor Booth.

OLT - Aluminum Cans
by
Ray & Diana
Where do all those soda and beer cans go? As you know we have special, marked trash barrels placed around the park to collect aluminum cans.
 The proceeds of those sales go to purchase landscaping and flower garden materials for the grounds. And you may wonder,
"Where do we sell the cans?"
Glad you asked. They are collected, bagged, and hauled to the Show, Inc. store in Sapulpua. " Show" is a not-for-profit organization that hires disabled adults and some disabled adult-aged youth, to collect, sort, and load the cans onto a weight scales to see how many pounds we delivered. The present price for selling aluminum cans is 35 cents per pound. And it takes a lot of cans to weigh a pound! So far we have sold hundreds of dollars to enhance our grounds. Not a bad deal. About 80 folks that would otherwise have difficulty getting a job are employed. We conserve our aluminum for recycling and we improve our grounds appearance. Good for us. |

Oaklake Flood Control - Part 2
On the OLT property there are nine small lakes that retain water flow during peak rain periods, typically in the spring and fall.
Oak Lake:
Located south of the parking lot, in the southwest corner of the property. It is named for the large oak tree at the west end of the dam.
(Directions) To hike to the lake, follow the trail starting behind the office, at marker #7. Follow the main trail south along the ridge and RV sites to a split where a tail turns to the right or west. Veer to the left and stay on the main trail down a steep hill and follow where it curves to the right. The lake is on your left. Return to the park by following the main trail across the dam, through the woods, and up a straight climb. The trail turns right into a meadow: At the "y" continue straight through the meadow, then through a short wooded area, bare left up the gravel trail into the residential area. Right takes you back on the road to the camp.
Authors:
Ray & Diana
Every month we will describe one of the lakes and list the directions to access each one using the trails to make it easier for hiking.
