TR 2022 delivered on the hype leading up to a Memorial Day weekend even more anticipated than normal.  The group took some time on Saturday to recognize a somber anniversary, but did so with a joyful spirit.  10 years have passed since Jovan Zelenkovich last joined us at Turkey Run.  It’s crazy to point out that 22 of our 44 attendees this year never experienced Turkey Run with Jovan.  But as crazy as that is, I think it’s safe to say that the spirit of Turkey Run is as strong as ever and is still very much a reflection of Serb Fests past.  And equally important to note that the tradition is as strong as ever, with lots of new friends and family joining us year after year.  Perhaps the biggest change, really, is in there being one less fool tripping over a picnic table!  That all said, Jovan was finally officially memorialized with a flag of his own that will now fly proudly aside the Serbian Flag each year at TR.  The flag was unveiled on Saturday with the group gathered around the makeshift flagpole (light pole). 

The rest of the weekend went off without a hitch, unless you consider the 3 times Joe E almost died…. The first ‘Triple Crown’ to be earned since D Fash infamously nearly died 3 times at TR 1999.  This time, the incidents were different, but no less severe or bizarre.  Like Fash in ’99, the first incident occurred during the hike.  This time, as the group was descending the ladders, Joe hit a slick boulder as he queued for the ladders – He took an expedited path downward narrowly missing a sharp branch that surely would have impaled him.  He came away with some pretty significant wounds, but he managed to get himself back to the grill under his own brute strength and will.  As if that wasn’t enough for the day, he then, later that night encountered a racoon in the restroom next to the shelter.  As most of you know, yes, there are some friendly racoons around TR, but you come face to face with one in a small space and bad things are bound to happen.  Thankfully Joe was able to escape without a physical altercation.  To cap his Triple Crown, the next night, as the group gathered round a healthy bonfire next to TR Inn, Joe nearly got torched as he tended to the fire.  To think, he was inches from severe injury and perhaps death, was a sobering moment for us all.  And finally, in a similar manner to Fash’s 1999 antics, there was arguably a 4th near-death experience.  While Fash’s involved Olaf nearly killing him with a canoe paddle, Joe’s was over alleged “alcohol poisoning”.  We say this tongue in cheek though, as we don’t actually think he was anywhere near alcohol poisoning, but there’s no denying that Joe has an impressive capacity to crush beers.  He had a guardian angel looking over him, no doubt, as he survived all three incidents (and allegedly four) without permanent harm!  Let’s hope this is the last Triple Crown our group ever sees! 

The group otherwise had a great weekend!  Attendance was strong as we welcomed back the Heitzman’s, CR & Bethany and the Mann’s.  Everyone was on fire with ridiculous quotes – a list as long as any past year!  Top Gun movie night in the shelter was a great time.  The kids continued to find more independence.  Eloise set out at the start of the weekend with a goal of capturing the weekend from the kids’ perspective.  She not only captured some great footage, but put together a video within days, rivaling the quality of any of her Father’s previous videos!  We’re delighted to have the next generation of TR filmmaker with us!
