Last post we were displaced, up the hill. That only lasted 2 days and then everyone moved back to low ground..The water only moved a few feet into the campground and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and got back to normal..It's a big deal down here ,and should be, as even a small flood can be a real disaster..The weather has gotten real decent and the sun has been screaming every day since the rain..We managed to get a few days of fishing in and have cooked outside almost every night..of course we've had bonfires every evening and the staff has been delivering firewood every day, we're doing our best to burn it all but I think they're winning..A few neighbors have moved out and some new ones have replaced them..some from Canada, others from Ohio, Mississippi,Florida and other far away places..it's great meeting all of them !!..We made plans for our next few stops, one in Alabama for 2 days and another in Florida for 3 days..hopeing to catch up on mail in Florida..We're gonna do some cave tours next week..I sure hope the weather stays nice during all the driveing as I hate driveing in rain..I see Mich has been "warming" (50???) but it's not warm enough to coax us home yet (grin)..Since today was St Pat's we had an early Happy Hour...since last week was Mardis Gras the locals were burnt out on partying  :=(  awwwwww!!!..the only foot path we haven't walked looked like it was getting dried out so we may try it tomorrow..supposed to be a beaver dam and some alligators down that path, I better take my walking stick and my runnin" shoes..Hope everyone had a great St Pat's and the week is safe..REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS LIFE GOES BY QUICKLY..Charlie&Heather
