With so much fun being had here every day, time has started to fly by. Sunday afternoon I went to a family cookout for mother's day at sister Lisa & Tony's house & had a fine time. In fact, here's a pic of Helen & me on the Vespa just before going for a spin. She loved it & didn't want to stop! Now if I can only get the South Carolina folks to stop calling it a moped....
Sunday night was also big fire night here at the campsite. We had scrounged wood from other sites, including one where the logs were still smoldering. The back end of my truck was only on fire for a little while & no damage done besides a horrific smell when the bed liner was smoldering. Gotta love the gumption of the brothers even though it doesn't always turn out as expected.
Lovely niece Rachel came up with the term "marshmellowing" when asked what she was doing. As you can see, not everyone likes the big fluffy sugar pills as much as we do. That's her dad, Phlip, making the ugly face. I ate my share of them while being watched by a small gallery of admirers. They admired how I could get the whole thing in my mouth without getting 3rd degree burns. What fun!
Yesterday the Clemson squirrel returned & was caught by the camera. Now I have clear evidence that he ate my chair as well as my table cloth. By the time Phlip saw him, the damage to the chair had already been done. I'm considering a letter to the local chamber of commerce or tourism folks complaining about this discrimination against North Carolina Tar Heel items.
A week from today I'll be on the road again, headed to Cedar Mountain, NC, near Brevard, for a month long stay. Sure gonna miss this Campbell clan, but I need a rest from the partying & a return to a slower life style.

The brothers out did themselves with the cooking they did yesterday. We had low country boil (shrimp, corn on the cob), grilled chicken, & other delights. These guys sure can cook. Unfortunately, we also filled up the grey water holding tank, so we'll have to take the trailer to a dump site nearby to empty it. It's a good thing we have lots of free time on our hands. Tomorrow is another golf day for me, as I had a ball with a group of seniors yesterday at a nearby course. Played badly, still had fun. Miss my golf buddy Bruce back in Durham. We play better when we play together.
Fred, Your journey looks wonderful! Your time at Twin Lakes looks like it has been great! It must be exciting to anticipate what each stop on your itinerary will hold! I look forward to following your travels!
