Rehersal Dinner and Wedding in Jacksonville

As you can see we all clean-up pretty well for camping out. The rehersal dinner was fantastic and loads of fun with our derby attire. The odds were 100% the wedding would take place the following evening. We enjoyed sampling Mint Julips. not sure we will add them to our most favorite beverage list, but the reviews from the photos suggest that some of us won't try them again! Getting to see our camping children all grown up and moving on to other stages of their lives is heartwarming. Many great times are always had when we get together. The Wedding was Wonderful the church was decorated beautifully with flowers of pink and purple. Mother of the Groom was stunning in her attire.
Two days of dress up is good for us and just a little sad as everyone is now packed up and moving on towards home. Drive safely and see you all again in October for more fun guys.

Silver River State Park

In our travels we like to stop at Silver River State Park and rest for a few days. Gather the roses so to speak. It is pleasant and peaseful. Our walk to the river was in the coolness of shade and at the rivers edge we lingered long enough to hear the cry of a baby alligator and a couple of frogs croaking out a warning sound. A family of Ibis swam across the river to find another hiding spot for the little ones. A deer munched grass as we sat quitely and watched her. As we were leaving another one hurried away with the fawn following. You could call this a great day on the river.

As you look at the photos you will notice the Olahwaha RV Resort. We have not been here for quite some time. Just checked it out for the day. The drive to get here is just a long and Hog Valley still exist. The campground is now considered a resort and no tents are allowed. Newer pool and more camping sites. The overlook to the river is the same and it brought back fond memories of happy times with friends. Tom and Linda's first campout for the club was at this place and a couple of pop-up rallies as well.
