At the last minute on Friday night, we decided to go to Lake Afton for the weekend. It took about 40 minutes to get the camper and truck ready, and Jeff and Clayton were on the road. Penny followed a little later with the rest of the ‘in progress’ laundry.
It was a nice relaxing weekend. We spent a lot of time fishing, but Penny is the only one to actually catch something. It wasn’t for lack of trying.

We spent a week in the Ozarks with Gayle and Darlene, and had a great time. We started at Tom and Louis’ Mother’s house in Garfield, AK. on Beaver Lake. She has a nice house and dock and a boat as well. We camped in her front yard with Gayle and Darlene. We did some chores for her while we were there, later got some boating and swimming in. We stayed two nights and had great cool weather while there.

Here we go again. It seems like we always go to Afton. Oh well. At least it’s camping.
This time Gayle and Darlene came out, and used their camper. Gayle’s friends Daryl and Jen also came out and camped in their hybrid travel trailer. We had a great time, and caught some fish. We did some swimming and enjoyed ourselves as usual.

We did it. We braved the crowd and camped at Lake Afton Thursday night through Monday. We took Jeffrey and his friend Tyler. We found ourselves a semi secluded spot away from the crowd. We had a lot of fun. We did some fishin’ and some swimin’ and some campfire. Penny and I went fishing Friday morning and each caught a small fish. — UPDATE — Video is done. Check the rest of the story.

We had such nice weather this weekend, we couldn’t resist. We packed up the trailer and headed to Lake Afton. We took Jeffrey and Tyler and their bicycles. This was the first trip with the new truck and it worked great.

Steven and Chandler came to visit and got some fishin’ in. We had a lot of fun.

We went out on Friday and came back Saturday. The weather was getting very windy and they were forcasting storms so we came back Saturday. A short fun trip. Just what we needed for those winter blues.
