2019-09-21 T@B & Friends Rally at Delaware SP

Our T@B & Friends group got together this weekend for the Fall rally. We had Airstreamer's John & Suzie join us all this time, so that was fun.
These blog photo's are a little different than my norm, where I usually take mostly RV pictures, this time I took mostly people pictures. And this would have been a good rally to get some RV pics. Oh well.
Enjoy...
 John & Suzie and Carie & Alan out for lunch at G&R Restaurant where they have their famous fried bologna sandwhich...it was goooooood!
 John trying his hand, or foot, at Segwaying. He's done it before so nothing too new for him. We both buzzed around the campground and had a blast!

2019-09-14 Clifty Falls Campout

We had me and Carie and three other couples head out to Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, IN, near the Ohio River. It was a lot of fun and the town of Madison was a voy to explore.
The campout participants were me, Carie, Tom & Ella, Dane & Elaine and newcomers Jamie & Judy. Jamie and Judy are new to Airstreaming but not to camping and RVing. They have previously owned three other RV's including their last one being a 40' Class A motorhome. They now have a beautiful new 30' Airstream Flying Cloud.
The meal plan was a little goofy as we planned on doing a couple of "open grill" dinners at camp but ended up eating almost every meal out at restaurants. Not that that is a bad thing. It's just that we all went home with a ton of food we had planned to eat up during the campout.

 Dane & Elaine enjoying the day on the Lodge patio
The taxidermy throughout the Lodge was beautifully done. This wolf was massive. Shocking just how big a wolf really is!

 





 They happened to be hosting a quilting expo at the Lodge while we were there and Ella thoroughly enjoyed that surprise

 Some really neat quilt panels...


 A random picture in the Lodge / Inn. I just thought this was a really pretty photo of this massive, beautiful tree, although I wouldn't want to rake up after it!
A couple of panoramic shots of our campsites...

 Alan, Carie & Dane enjoying the shade. The weather was quite hot and humid for most of the campout (Thursday - Sunday) although Saturday cooled down nicely.
 Play time! Jasper, Charlie Button & Tori. The dogs hit it off great!
Dane, Elaine, Jamie & Judy went hiking and took a couple of pictures of that. These shots are from the entrance of the tunnel/cave that was originally built for the railroad but never completed and never used.

Sunday morning prior to departure we had a wonderful pitch-in breakfast prepared by Dane & Elaine!
