August 14, 1913--Thursday
Up at 5 AM. My turn to help with breakfast. Left camp at 7 AM and stopped for lunch at 11 AM. arrived at Lakeview at 3 PM. Wrote and mailed some post cards and took some more pictures. Saw several stage coaches and arrived at Old Hank's Hunting Lodge 5:30 PM---very swell place--two motor launches and six steel boats. Red Rock Lake cold and windy. Jack purchased heaviest pair of long johns he could find at Lakeview Store. Drove 35 miles today. Cooked supper in Lodge. Was weighed at Lakeview and weighed 99 pounds.
Jack Shaffner's recollections: I recall when we camped at Lakeview--small store there and I lost no time buying a pair of long, heavy, salmon colored underwear, and slept in them every night. Believe me, they kept me too warm during the day. I didn't notice any of the girls wearing brief briefs and sure Mother Kurtz wouldn't have stood for anything like that.
The 16 members of the trip were:
Oliver Kurtz, age 36, Bertha Kurtz, age 31, Ollie Kurtz, age 10, Norman Kurtz, age 7, Lester Kurtz, age 5, Grandma (Mary Etta Deewall) Kurtz, age 64, Lulu Kurtz, age 29, Della Kurtz, age 27, Jim E. Kurtz, age 24, Mabel Phillips, age 24, Jack Shaffner, age 26, Jack Clay, George Collins, W. D. Sandy, Ethel O'Leary, Maude Brown.
Ollie Kurtz recollections: Mabel Phillips started to the Park as George Collins's girlfriend and Jim Kurtz with Ethel as his friend. When they got to the park, Jim and George changed girl friends. That is when Jim Kurtz started to go with Mabel.
