APRIL 2002

Our favorite Story end-of-winter-shake-off-the-doldrums event is a bus trip to Deadwood, SD.  We take our doggers to the dog "spa", gather our friends and neighbors and take off for the Big Time!!  (Notice the fellow on the left front...he's the real lucky person in this bus.)

 

Here's Shorty just before we boarded the bus for home.  You might notice that he's just hit a big one and that he is quite happy.  Trust me, that's his happy look.  This was in April of 2001.

 

And here's that rascal in April of 2002 pulling the same trick one more time.  Once again please note his big smile!!  Shorty was born in Story and is one of our favorite story tellers when it comes to the old days.  He's seen a lot of changes over the years...he claims the downfall of Story was when they paved Tunnel Hill.  Did I mention that he seems to be incredibly lucky!!

 

Sensing that Shorty's machine was still hot, our friend Virginia proceeded to follow his footsteps to another big win almost as soon as Shorty cashed out.  Everyone declared it such a successful and fun trip that another one is slated for November, 2002.
