New Home for Pool Table

Loading it up at the cabin
We have been looking to get rid of our pool table at the cabin for awhile because we want to build an extra bedroom in our basement to give us more sleeping spots.  We have tried selling it and giving it away and nothing ever worked....until we came up with the idea to give it to a local camp for disabled kids and adults. 

I contacted them a few weeks ago and after much back and forth, they agreed to take it.  That meant we had to take it apart, transport it and put it back together.  It is a heavy duty antique pool table that weighs about 500 lbs.  The top of it is 3 three quarter inch slate panels.

Jim and Kody spent about 2 hours dismantling it this morning and then we loaded up and took it out to Tuolomne Trails
Drove down to the basement at the cabin to load it up

We spent 3 hours putting it back together at Tuolomne Trails.  We bought new felt and new pockets for it and it turned out beautiful.  A new group of campers are coming in tomorrow and we hope they enjoy it.

The camp itself was awesome.  It has a pond, swimming pool, basketball, volley ball, archery and a huge lodge.  It has 8 cabins that house 14 campers each.

The view was amazing!
This guy lived there and I wanted to trade the pool table for him!
