And the Golden Triangle monthly campout begins

 April 3, 2025

Wild Frontier Resort site 271

Ocala, Fl

Now talk about a short travel day!  Sixty six miles was all it took to arrive at the site of the Golden Triangle Campers monthly campout location.  I guess I can't say that applies to everyone though as we had two rigs depart from the caravan and we gained three additional rigs who came from their home base.  

Now here's something to ponder.  The first rig to depart this morning from Otter Springs was one of the last to arrive at Wild Frontier....and it wasn't because they took a long rest break.  It seems their GPS routed them on an unusual path and failed to locate the campground entrance....so round and round they traveled.  Talk about frustrating!!😕

I'm happy to report that by the time Happy Hour rolled around at 3pm, all eleven rigs had settled onto their weekend sites and the tables in the clubhouse had received a festive look from our weekend hosts.

Of course settling onto the site was a challenge in itself.  The paved area is just wide enough for the rig and with the streets being a tad on the narrow side meant cutting across the grass in order to swing onto the site without colliding with the campers and their tow vehicles across the road.  No biggie there.  We've done that many times. Aunt Pam even had the assistance of the neighbor across the road to help spot for her and guide her onto her site.  

But this is the first in a LONG time that our power cord was too short to reach the pedestal.  Time to reach into the back recesses of the storage bay for the extension cord.  In addition, an extra length of hose had to be used to reach the water source.  

Dinner was a potluck affair entitled 'Grill and Chill'.  Everyone brought their own grilled meat and a dish to share.

So many choices filled the serving table as well as the dessert table.
I'm really not a fan of the 'no pets allowed in buildings' rule.  I never get to enjoy the smells of all that food, much less have the opportunity to try to sneak a bite or two.  At least Momma has made sure we haven't run out of my favorite dog treats.  They make me smile for sure!!
