What Happened to July?

Mem Halstead called me several days ago asking why this blog had not been updated since our camping at Rockahock in June. I asked, "Are you sure?" Upon investigation, I did update a blog in July, but not this one. It was the Old Dominion Cardinals blog; our camping Good Sam chapter. So for those that do not read the ODC blog, here is a run down on July at Grey's Point Camp in Topping, VA.

We enjoyed having Amy, Tyler and Amanda with us for the weekend. We rarely have five sleeping spaces filled. An air mattress on the floor works fine for 12-year old Tyler. Amy and Amanda share the fold out queen sofa bed. Bedtime was always an event. The children went to sleep in the bedroom and then moved to their sleeping spaces. In the morning they had mixed memories of the night before. This park is ideal for young children with a super water park for their enjoyment.

“Small” can be beautiful. Our nine ODC rigs, a small group, gathered at Grey’s Point Camp July 17 for a weekend camp out. A rain storm Friday night flooded many of the camp sites, but our group was on high ground and stayed relative dry. Saturday’s weather was nearly perfect. The pool was packed, golf carts buzzed the roadways, dogs were walked, and some folks ventured into neighboring communities for adventure and shopping. Most enjoyed participating in small group conversations under a shade awning while activities whizzed around us. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves very much, especially those who sat around the campfire Saturday night.

Luray RV Resort is the site of our August camp out. This will be another small gathering where folks get to visit one another and enjoy a camping experience. Many members will be on-the-road and/or vacationing elsewhere that weekend.

We look forward to seeing several members who were traveling in July, and who will be back in August.
