Well that day was Sunday. And as far as I could tell, the legends are TRUE.
If I had to rank the sights I was most anticipating, the rankings would look like this:
1. The Cottage
2. The Spillway
3. The Golden Dawn
4. The End-of-the-Road Beach
5. Elvis Beach
6. Marin's stars and stripes headband
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to enjoy one of these sights. To everyone's dismay, The Golden Dawn was replaced with Ray's something-or-other. Ray is a jerk.
NOTES
Cal exceeded everyone's expectations and fetched FOUR TIMES on Elvis Beach! Marin face-planted the water ONE TIME!
People who ride ATVs need to take a hike. Literally.
Carving my name into a tree LEGIBLY is more difficult than I had ever imagined.
I was a tad disappointed in the Spillway: I was told of a trillion carp. I only counted a billion.
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? I'm not sure because the ATVs were so damn loud.
Sterr can really grill! Delicious hamburgers and hot dogs! And good call on the horseradish!
Is it Murphy custom to always enter The Cottage through a window?
Some woman brought her laptop to the pavilion at the beach. Not to do work or surf the internet—but to play SOLITAIRE. This person should STAY HOME. Or at least bring an actual deck of cards. I mean I'd even be fine if she was doing ANYTHING else beachy in addition to solitaire. She sure knows how to enjoy a holiday! By being a loser.
MGM sure knows how to carry a football in a bucket!
En route to Elvis Beach, some guy asked us if we had seen any "arrowheads" back near The Cottage. We're STILL not sure if he meant snakes or actual Indian arrowheads. Too bad he didn't ask us if we've seen any weirdos with obscure questions.

It was certainly a Memorial Day vacation to remember. I can't wait for the next trip to The Cottage!
Next time I'm bringing my bike.
