I've been meaning to ask this for awhile.Nov
2006
Back in August of 1990 I went to Sonora Bay for my first and only time.
Early in the week I was there, a big storm passed through.
I thought it was reported to be the tail end of a hurricane but have found no reference to this on the web.
It washed out the road to the Club.
One person in town was reported to have died.
The club was without electricity for a day, and water for 3 days(?) until water trucks were able to make it in.
Many "Americans" were freaked out by this and demanded their government do something (one night of free drinks in the bar didn't cut it I guess) Some wished to be evacuated immediately, but weren't willing to hike to town.
The club managed to still operate although we ate on plastic plates for a few days until water service was restored.
I still managed to have a good CM experience, including the excursion to "feed" the mosquitos out by the Catch 22 landing strip.
In the end the CM provided one week land credit at another club.
I found it to be an interesting CM experience that I'll always remember.
Are there any other GM's or GO's that were there at the time???
How about other(good) CM Hurricane experiences?
