Memorial Day Weekend, 2005

As usual this past Memorial Day Weekend the Lee/Nachreiner clan took it's annual Lake Almanor get away. For the past 5 years we've been staying at Lassen View Resort. Unfortunately the great folks who run the place have decided to retire so this was our last stay at their fine establishment.

Here is a brief photo journal of our weekend:

We always have a blast on our Memorial Day trips and this year was no exception! We sure are sorry to see the folks from Lassen View hang it up. They did a tremendous job of running the place. Hopefully, we can find another resort to stay at next year so our little 10 year tradition will stay alive.
