Went out for a late Winter scratch-the-camping-itch campout. Went local to Winton Woods with Tom & Ella. Didn't take much for either of us to talk the other into going out! The weather was about 50 degrees, sunny and a slight wind. But it was sunny and beautiful for sure! We opted for the full hook up pull through sites since those are completely concrete so no late Winter mud to deal with although the campground had been flooded just a couple of days prior and still had the closed signs up. Tom & Ella were their usual gracious selves and treated Mearth (me) (Remember Jonathon Winters as Mearth on Mork & Mindy) to several meals. They are awesome! We had two dinners and a breakfast in camp and ate out a couple of meals including a trip to downtown Newport-on-the-Levy (Kentucky) to the Hofbrauhaus. Excellent German food and atmosphere. A fun place! We met T & E's son, Micah at the restaurant were they refilled Micah's growlers! Back at camp we had a few campfires which were very welcomed at the colder temps in the evenings & mornings. It was my birthday, too, and one of the meals was my birthday supper so that was extra nice! Thanks Tom & Ella! They even got me an Airstream hoodie for my birthday!!! Did I mention how awesome they are? Overall a really nice weekend! Our next scheduled campout is in a couple of weeks at Hocking Hills SP (if we don't get out again before then) so be on the lookout for that blog update. It should be a lot of fun and will be a good rally with 6 or 8 RV couples in attendance!

New Airstreamers leaving whom we met at Winton Woods. A couple from Canada on their first voyage in the new Airstream towed with a diesel VW Touareg.
