HEADING NORTH

This is what it looked like when we left Monday the 18th. Of course I'm not complaining, as Fl needs the rain really bad ..... but gosh all at once and all week long! We had made reservations at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park for 7 days, but finally gave up and left on Sunday.
We were about the only people there until Thursday and then several came in. On Friday we went to the Fl Folk festival held at the Steven Foster State Park. It rained, but we went prepared as we kept our rain gear from our motorcycling days. As it turned out we only needed jackets and umbrellas as it was very warm. Kind of different when we first showed up, had to get sweatshirts and blanket back out. ANYWAY the park had set up about 6 stages and each stage had different performers about every 30 minutes. There were groups, singles, families, trios. I was glad to see several young people involved. All in all it was a very good day. We got there about 8:30 and gave up about 4. For lunch, besides the usual fare of hot dogs etc. about 5 churches with black congregations were serving. Choices of fried chicken, rice, all sorts of veggies,corn bread. Needless to say we weren't really good for anything after that meal except a nap.
The only thing with folk music is the song is usually too long and usually sad, and that pretty well held up the whole day.
This is what the camp looked like when we came home, I guess most everyone took off early from work and came to the park. We noticed most everyone loaded their golf cart and brought it. Saturday they had a parade and John counted 61.
Sunny when we left .... go figure (but didn't last long)

It didn't look like a lot of rain to me because your pictures are so small!! Make those things bigger so we can see what you and John are really up to!!!
