2014 Feb 10 - Scamp Camp at Highlands Hammock State Park

Today was our first real day of vacation since leaving home. We traveled from Barefoot Bay to Highlands Hammock State Park in Sebring, FL. The total mileage was 130 with a stop at Fat Boy's Bar-B-Q in Lake Wales for lunch. Really good BBQ at that place. There were so may cars in the lot when we got there, I thought they were giving food away!

We arrived at the campground at about 2:45 and got set up, all the while talking to neighbors and old friends who stopped by. Most of the campers here (they are expecting 68) are Scamps and Casitas. You'll see them in the pictures this week. These folks don't discriminate, so we are allowed to join the fun even though we have an Aliner.

We took our chili to the chili dump location and dumped it into the cookers with everyone else's chili. At 5:00, everyone was ready for the gastronomic adventure. The chili was quite good and there were side dishes and desserts to go along with it.

We spent the evening visiting and headed back to the camper at 9:00. Turns out they now have wifi in the campground (they didn't last year), so we won't have to run to town to use the Internet. Stay tuned for more pictures. We plan to ride the bike around the park quite a bit. It could get interesting!
