August at Clifty Falls - 2014

Mary came and stayed on Friday night and Saturday night at the lodge.
Jean Ann was here Friday night and Saturday during the day and through the dinner at the lodge on Saturday.

Three canopies and the awning.  Comfy!

Ladies stopped at Historic Broadway Hotel & Tavern on Broadway in Madison after visiting Margie's Country Store.

Annex room where we ate.  The air conditioners were working a bit too much for us.

Super Moon through the tree cover with just the cell phone.

Men's side of the campfire ring.

Okay, I've baggd al I can at the moment.

Snacking healthy. 

Is that rain drops we feel after just putting our covers up for the day.

Downtown lunch crown on Saturday.

Becky's table topper.  Now someone just has to finish this topper.

Back to the Hotel for brunch on Sunday.

More eating area at the Downtown Hotel.

Rita and Bob-surprised by the cake and ice cream.

More Saturday lunch folks.

Looks like meeting time.

July at the Horse Park in Lexington.

Frank and Lucky
Lucky is visiting with the Wesley's this weekend. 

Dave-Joy-Jean

I am sure there are some horse tales being spun in this group!

Norm and Wendy Wesley
Guests of the Judds
Lucky is their puppy.

Golfer oh no, this is when we were headed to the Horse Park.  Campground folks transported us over and back on golf carts.  Museum was really good.  It was much larger and more interesting than some of us expected.

Dave giving us suggestions on what to see in the area.

View of our campsite road.

Display in the Horse Park.

Training and then some of the show at the International Ring at the Horse Park.

Lively discussions happened concerning part of the appetizer offerings!

What we do BEST!
Dinner in downtown Lexington.

Can't tell which one is enjoying this more!

Bailey's Point May 2014

Bailey's Point from section B.  We were in Section A!  I forgot to take pictures.  And I missed some beautiful sunsets.  Maybe Ron got some good ones we can add.

Those in attendance will know the rest of the story on the picture below.  

Sorry Butch I am not posting the videos. 

This was the new hammock.   Jean found them and ordered them for us (Jean and Pat).  But somehow the men just had to try it out.  It is NOT an easy entry or exit.  Butch had to assist Mr. Judd in the exit.  This filmmaker was so tickled watching she couldn't get out of her own chair to assist.

I am sorely lacking on pictures from this campout.  Several arrived early.  All were in by Sunday night.

There were campfires nearly each night. 

Hospitality was on Sunday night.

Monday night we went to the Barren River State Park Lodge for a buffet dinner.

Tuesday night we had a left-overs pitch-in. 

Jean and Pat made a trip to Smith's Grove for a fabric fix on Saturday before more folks arrived.  Whittle's has great fabric and super prices.  

Monday there was a trip to Bowling Green and a few toes were manicured.  

Monday a group golfed at Barren River State Park.  They played on Saturday too.

It rained like crazy but we did not get severe weather and most of the rain was at night!

What a way to start the camping season.

Colberts, Cooks, Smiths, Vucksons, McPhersons, and Judds.

Looking forward to Starve Hollow in June.

Happy Camping!

July 2014 Schedule changed

We have had to change the location of our July 2014 campout due to the lack of available sites at the My Old KY Home State Park...

New locations is:  KY Horse Park State Park.

                              There is a senior discount available this year on the KY site that I don't remember                        seeing when booking before.

August at Spring Mill State Park, Mitchell, IN

Crafters hard at creating.

Rich getting in the fray to take a picture or two.

Debbie and Sheila getting started on their projects.

Is this work or is it fun?  FUN!  Loved the finished projects.

Amazing that this tree is still living with such a  large hole and look at the size of those roots.

Friday morning walk to the Pioneer Village.

Weaver and tanner working on loading the loom.  This lady tells us she has been working at the Village for 27 years.  She weaves on at least two full size looms and a much newer table top version.  This one was interesting to see how the thread was loaded to the back of the loom.  Sunday morning she was weaving on this loom.  

Log cutting at the long low roof off to the side of the mill.

The Mill.  Not running at the moment but we came home with some corn meal anyway.  

The stream along the Mill.  There is a mist in the air from the cool water.

Butterflies at the Village Gardens.

Friday night hot dog and hospitality.  Thank you Dave and Joy!  Wonderful evening.

Linda assisting again.

The gentlemen we love.

The men solving somebodies problem (I guess) while the women did the crafting.

Saturday morning crafts in full swing.

I believe the comment was:  I just downsized everything in our home....I am not adding anything back into it.    However, she was the right hand person helping Pat with her bottle.  Couldn't have done it without you Linda.

Our ladies are very talented and creative.  Thanks Mary and Sheila for the supplies and instructions....and to the countless drinks that were consumed prior to the project.

Chopping the wood and building a fire.  I believe there were marshmallow roasting planned for a bit later.

Friends.

More after dinner discussions.

We are letting Saturday evening meal at the lodge settle while we relax back at the campground.  And Yes that is a Sunnybrook in the background but not one of our members.....they were happy to listen to more than one invitation to join us....would be great if they did.

Some folks are a bit more energetic that others.  Dave and Joy returning fro their walk.  Rich and Linda walked too, but the camera failed to capture them.

No campout is complete without the campfire!  We had one each night.  Thanks Keith.

I think there is a campfire somewhere in this area...but we are not getting too close.

Wrigley sitting right in front of the fan.  Guess it was like riding in the Jeep his head out the window!

Sunday Morning Church - The Meeting Hall

Sheila showing off her purchases from the Merchantile.

Sunday morning after church service we got to see the loom in operation.  How neat!

Church attendees.  When we sat down inside we spread out and the speaker was surprised when he found out we were all one group!  Sermon on Sin!  

Opps, how did this happen?  I am in a picture.  Me, Mary, and Jerry!
Great time to visit the Village....early while it was still somewhat cool.  

Heidi Jo- "please Mom, please"
