The Gun Lake Years 1977-1984

I mentioned earlier (in these bizarre blog chronicles) of the sudden disappearing act the brothers Doug and Rob performed on the street around 1975/76. It wasn't due so much to a misunderstanding or disagreement with any of the remaining original Blazers; it was more that they just started 'hanging out' in weird new social circles.

I had to wait until the summer of 1977 to get reacquainted on any regular basis with Doug; and it took yet another summer to do the same with his big brother Rob. It is from that golden summer of 1978 that our film today hails, featuring rare footage of the now married brothers (not to each other) with their wives, their creepy new friends, and what would turn out to be a frequent and seriously life altering destination for me in the late 70s/early 80s - Gun Lake.

Why do I get the feeling that these people are part of some weird cult?

Living in some secluded mountain region waiting for their leader to appear.

BTW - Where were the weapons stored? I didn't see any in this video.
