At the beginning of August, the Red Barns joined up with the G Clan to rehash some old memories at Lake Buchanan in Central Texas. Claire booked her family into the same cabins they stayed in during their many vacations in the '90s. Unfortunately, a summer drought made it difficult to launch the boat. Mark had to drive 500 yards into the lake just to launch from the shoreline.
One afternoon, the gang found a nice little cove near the dam. It was filled with large boulders that usually hide underwater and a nice little beach to have a picnic. Phillip and Sam were able to do a little boulder-diving just before the park ranger decided to crash the party. According to the megaphone, the dam was restricted area and the group was "subject to arrest."
While the Red Barns were lucky to make it out of there unscathed, Mark and Sam weren't so lucky. Mark suffered a neck injury after he took a nasty tumble when the ski rope broke. Sam's aerial wakeboard antics ended when he overshot a backflip and sustained a knee injury. Despite the injuries, everyone enjoyed being back at the lake and hoped to return when Buchanan, and their health, returned to normalcy.
