Day 1...

We left Sea-Tac @ 7 a.m. I was sitting toward the back of the plane between two Alaskan hockey players. They were flying to Kalamazoo, Michigan for a two game series. We had a few minutes of hockey conversation before both were passed out.
We arrived in Minneapolis 20 mins. late, then it took us another 20 minutes to get off the plane. We got off the plane when we should’ve been boarding our flight to Rhinelander. The moment we got off the plane it was a sprint to the next terminal. I swear it was a mile away. It was so bad that half way through our sprint ( w/ a 21 lb. backpack ) Scott heard our names paged, which they mispronounced our names. I felt like I was on the amazing race.
Our flight to Rhinelander was a little longer than usual ( we had a very entertaining stop @ Eau Claire ). The Monkey comedy show was in the back of our double propped plane providing a lot of laughs. We arrived in Rhinelander & the amount of snow was disappointing. The weather isn’t as cold as it was last year & it’s not projected to get any better. We’ve passed a few lakes & there is a lot of water on the ice. Can you say… worried?? We’ll see what is going on tomorrow.
We checked into our amazing cabin here at the Eagle Waters Resort. Our new jerseys were hanging in our closet when we arrived. Red Chicago Blackhawks colored jerseys with the Eagle Waters crest on the front w/ our names & numbers on the back. After we all modeled the jerseys & got pictures, we headed to the store to get some food & drinks. After a nice Darryl cooked dinner, we are now going to sit around & play some poker. I will try to get some pictures up soon. Til tomorrow!! GO MONKEYS!!
Update...
Got my ass kicked in poker, so I decided to come down to the main cabin to post this. I am currently sittin in the dark on the porch of the office. I had to walk down a dark icy tree lined road to get here. Talk about freaking out... So enjoy!! GO MONKEYS!!
