"HALLO TH' CAMP"

[swoody126]

by the time i'm typing this some of the campers are packing up and turning toward THE HOUSE

when i got out of the Jeep yesterday i fully intended to call out a "HALLOW TH' CAMP"(as in John Wayne's movies) as i walked up to a camp but never got the words out before i heard COME IN & WELCOME

WOW WHAT HOSPITALITY!!!

TYLER STATE PARK is only 2hrs & 20min, according to giggle maps, so i decided to visit the gathering

after being waylaid by several GARAGE SALE signs it ended up taking over 3 & nearer to 4hrs to get there, between 12 & 1p

one camper was sweeping his camp so no one would roll an ankle

2 folks were seated under their awning scratching the head of a beautiful white shepard pup

one family was getting stuff ready to feed the kids

one nice lady offered coffee

the scenarios were ALL different but the greeting was ALWAYS the SAME

COME IN & WELCOME

i found what i was looking for...

INOVATION & INGENUITY

as expected accommodations ranged from PURE LUXURY > MODEST AUSTERITY

no one was lacking anything they needed/desired to make the weekend successful

EVERYONE WAS SMILING

several campfires were already doing their job of spreading the aroma of CAMPING throughout the area

after walking both loops and taking lotsa pics CHILI & i loaded up and turned toward the house

some really cool rigs, some super nice folks

CHILI-DOG & I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME
