Exploring Waycross

Now where are you heading off to today?  Oh yes, Momma mentioned she had made arrangements at Okefenokee Heritage Center and Southern Forest World for tours.  

The Heritage Center

not only has history displays

but they were featuring a fabric art display.  Momma was super impressed with the artistic talent displayed using fabric to create vivid scenes.

 

 

Impressive, artistic creations.  

Another room featured additional creations created with tatting threads as well as yarn and....get ready for it....plastic grocery bags crocheted into a purse and matching hat. 

The displays continued outside walking past colorful azalea bushes 

to arrive at the train.

Situated behind the caboose was Hillard House. 

Jim said that the old mattress he saw in the building resembled a poor quality RV mattress (usually one of the first things that gets replaced in an RV). 

The next stop was located next door where everyone was treated to a guided tour.

The focus was on wood....forests, products that use wood, and the many jobs related to wood.

What are they looking at?

Oh my!  That poor dog got stuck in the hollow tree and wasn't discovered until loggers cut down the tree and discovered the mummified body.

Making use of another of the campground owner's recommendations, some of the group headed for the Downtown Sandwich Shop.

Missy's recommendations have been excellent!  She also tossed out the name of a Mexican Restaurant that Jim and Michelle decided to visit ....and once again.....Missy's recommendation was excellent.

Louise and Rick headed out to

Googling for the location of the best burgers in the area, they headed out only to discover burgers weren't even on the menu....but the fried chicken was a winner.

The day drew to a close under the awning 

after it became too dark to play additional corn hole matches.... or ball fetch...even though I tried my best to convince them that I could probably locate that ball in the dark and bring it back....if only I could convince someone to toss it.

Ice cream and banana treats

Dad, maybe you should go check on Momma.  After all, it is nearly 9am and she is still in bed.  She NEVER stays in bed that late in the morning.  I know she hasn't had a solid night of sleep in a while.  Maybe she is finally catching up on all that missed sleep?!?

Wow, she FINALLY made an appearance.  Dad, I was hoping you would invite me to join you for breakfast seeing as Momma was still in bed but she spoiled that idea for me!

Well, it may have been a laid back morning, but Momma still produced a couple of loads of clean clothes as well as a banana cake with cream cheese frosting.  The Wildwood food spread included more bananas than could have possibly been eaten but they ripened into ideal banana cake as well as banana bread baked by Julie and Momma.  

The campground owner made a great recommendation of where to secure ice cream.  Her favorite ice cream location not only serves ice cream treats, but sells local made honey and has a full service coffee shop as well as a cute boutique. 

What a treat😋for the group to enjoy while once again, I was left back at the camper. 

As I understand it, it took quite a while to travel the short distance.  Something about a train.

A  L-O-N-G train was traveling from our right to left and the gates were down with lights flashing protecting the vehicles on the highway from colliding with the train traveling on the tracks.  Then the train stopped just clear of the railroad crossing but not far enough up the tracks to open the gates.  Some cars and trucks decided they were tired of waiting for the gates to rise so they climbed the curb attempting to cross off to the right....but.....the reason why the long train had stopped was because of a train coming from our left, passing in the other direction.  Luckily the black truck in the picture wasn't quite on the tracks and was able to back up out of the way of that second train.  Whew!  Impatience at the crossing nearly caused a collision.

Today came to a close with six gals playing Fast Track inside the Hime rig while the others gathered outside under the awning.  Banana cake and banana bread finished off the day.

At least I got to enjoy a few dog treats even though I attempted to help myself to a taste of all that banana goodness.

On the road again: traveling with friends

March has rolled around once again and that means it's caravan time with some of our Golden Triangle Camper members with whom we have been enjoying monthly weekend campouts during the winter months. 

We departed from Wildwood RV Village in Wildwood, Florida today traveling north into Georgia.

It was a much longer ride today traveling just over 200 miles.  Our weekend campouts are always much closer to home, but I didn't mind. I have a comfy ride in the back seat of the Ram.  I needed to rest up after I was finally able to talk Louise into playing ball with me while camping at Wildwood.  She just can't resist my sad, 'I need to play' look.

Seven rigs are parked near each other here at Pebble Hill.

The hosts for the weekend campout had treated us to pulled pork.  Lots of pulled pork!  More than could be devoured at one meal so..... we gathered at the Pebble Hill Clubhouse and enjoyed left over pulled pork, tossed salad, bbq beans, green beans and the leftover veggies from the spread that Wildwood RV Village had provided for us over the weekend for our happy hour.    

And to finish off the meal, we had pretty green pistachio cookies, fudge and jelly beans.

and what's your favorite flavor?

 There was still time for the gals to gather around the table for a couple of games of Fast Track. 

And so the caravan begins....a month long adventure picking up a few more friends and growing in size as we travel the highways.

Time for ER

Wildwood, Fl

We have arrived in Florida at Wildwood RV Village...about 45 minutes later than expected on Wednesday.  About 8 miles from our exit, we were stopped by three lanes of standstill traffic that eventually began creeping, s l o w ly forward, due to an accident.  So close and yet so far.

Momma said the greeting she received when we finally arrived was over the top friendly, informative and welcoming.  Our Golden Triangle Campers group will be arriving tomorrow, Thursday, for a weekend campout.  The campground had a welcoming banner made and hung as part of the welcoming greeting.

In addition to that, on Thursday they had a huge spread of finger foods all set up for the group to enjoy during afternoon social hour.  That was a first time experience making the greeting even more memorable and impressive.

Our sites are nice pull through sites right by the clubhouse. 

The grass is a different kind of grass than the lush, long bladed grass of the north, but it is adequate.  This is definitely jacket weather in the morning but when the sun begins to warm things up a tad, Dad will shed his jacket....but not Momma.

The guys have worked on a couple of small projects

on a couple of campers while Momma has been making up for lost game time, playing Fast Track with the gals.

And then the 'incident' took place.......  Dad called to Momma,  it's time for ER.  Momma took one look and wanted to know how that happened.

Poor bear had lost BOTH is arms.....scattered over the floor. 

Fortunately, he hadn't lost his smile.  

Momma asked Dad if he was playing too rough but he just looked over and pointed at me....and I looked over and pointed at chicken.

Just look at chicken's face.  I'm sure he looks guilty enough that you will believe me when I say chicken did it.  That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

So Momma opened up the sewing box for ER....emergency repair.  I am happy to report bear is as good as new with no visible signs of destruction.  Let the playtime resume!
