Summary
Scooter, Crystal, and Michelle were working on the end of season de-rigging when Al came out and told them to get on their way for their trip. They quickly headed for Las Vegas, saw a couple of shows and did some sightseeing, and the next day they were on their way to Tahoe.
After about an hour, they came to the Redlite Ranch. Scooter suggested that they stop in for breakfast; Michelle hesitates, but eventually they ring the bell twice and are admitted by Shirley, who tells them that Jennlynn partied late the previous night, but would be out eventually.
In the meantime Danny brings them breakfast, and they sit and talk with him and Shirley for a while; she told them "I don't know how I'd ever have the guts to do what you do.", but they observed that they wouldn't be able to do what she's done, either.
Eventually, Jennlynn appeared and after everyone finishes breakfast they get a tour of the place and are impressed by how it looks like a luxury resort. They stay for lunch, and even watch a few lineups before they leave for Tahoe, after Shirley notes again that she'd no more get on a raft and go down the Canyon with them than she'd play Russian roulette. In fact, the latter seemed to have better odds.
Once they had left, they agreed that none of them could do what the Redlite girls do.
The Redlite Ranch portion of this chapter is repeated from Danny's point of view in Square One.
